Daily Newsletter Images?

  • Are there any plans to change the way images are linked in the daily newsletter? I use Outlook.com as my main e-mail interface and the images never show through that. If I view in an e-mail client they seem to work fine. I seem to remember reading that this could be caused by an http / https mismatch for the links. Am I the only one seeing this behavior?

  • Hmmm, I'll have someone check, but I think this is a client issue. The client determines if content outside the email (linked images) are pulled down.

    Have you added us as a Safe Sender in Outlook?

  • Could be, but this is outlook.com, not the Outlook desktop client. Mail clients and apps seem to work, but not the site. Verified with and without an adblocker enabled. I just checked with today's newsletter - all of the images next to the articles show with the little X icon on outlook.com, but display fine in the mail app. (same pc)

  • K, I'll ask someone to look at this.

  • Hi Peter,

    Can you make sure sqlservercentral.com is added as a safe sender? Outlook.com has a tendency to timeout image downloads quite quickly for non-trusted (per-user) domains.

    If that doesn't help, can you send a screengrab of exactly what you're seeing to webmaster@sqlservercentral.com?

  • Image sent, but I'm not sure how to set "safe sender" in the outlook.com web client - either that or I've already done it. Also noted that Red-Gate's ad images on the side showed up today, but the Amazon book image did not. The Amazon image had the same issue as the images next to the articles.
