That looks like it could be heading in the right direction. But no, our server allows outbound access just fine.

Also, I get the same issue here on Simple:Press using Safari on Mac so it’s not confined to just our forum.

But your suggestion made me google this a bit more. I found several issues posted by developers concerning Chrome and Safari with getimagesize() or related. This one’s a bit older hence not sure if it’s still relevant: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4022184/jquery-width-chrome-and-safari-problem. Any thoughts? Or is this totally unrelated? Just trying to narrow this down somehow.

The one you linked to there is a JavaScript issue and I am talking strictly php code here. Do you have any other examples you can provide links for because my search didn’t really throw anything up.

I am leaving this as a Safari bug on Mac, unresolvable. I think we’re simply seeing this because a) over 50% of our 730+ users use a Mac and b) we post homework assignments for our students that require linking to multiple images as we c) do not allow uploading images to our server. Most other forums probably simply use the uploader rather than TinyMCE’s image linking.

In the past we required students to post from Flickr and we’ll be going back to that to avoid confusion because the only way to have image linking in the forum work reliably in Safari on Mac for certain users is to click into any field after pasting the image URL, which populates the image sizes and all is well – but that’s just not going to stick.

Thanks a lot for all the feedback though.

strange since we cannot duplicate.
