Well it seems to have fixed an issue I was having with drop menus not working on mobile. I thought it was just my phone.

Possible bug: all threads that try to post comic images by referring to direct links to image files at cdn.twokinds.keenspot.com (e.g. http://cdn.twokinds.keenspot.com/comics/20201010.png for the thread for october 10th ) are returning as broken images, even though the image files themselves are valid. I'm not sure if this is on the forum's side or on the main twokinds site's side, but definitely not the correct behavior.

Working fine for me, might be something on your end?

I am using Chrome under windows 7, if it matters. I have a scriptblocker (umatrix), but it's not set to block anything on this site.

In my case was a firefox on ubuntu running as locker and also blocking javascript.
Yes my setup is rather weird but, that is why never said anything before. In any case other threads and images work fine. Also tried linking the diorama raw image a couple weeks ago and that fails to load too.

It looks like Chrome is forcing HTTPS when loading the content and as a result is failing since we don't support HTTPS. I'll look into getting that fixed.

Still working on the HTTPS fix. In the meantime we have also fixed an issue preventing registration due to reCAPTCHA changes that were not announced.

Does that has anything to do with the recent dns over https change they rolled out a couple months ago?
Where by default the browser will try using https to connect to dns?

No, unrelated. Chrome is detecting that an HTTPS site exists for twokinds.keenspot.com and is replacing the HTTP url with HTTPS when it loads it. This is behavior I was previously unaware of. Usually HTTP content is just blocked on HTTPS sites. Unfortunately the HTTPS version of Twokinds doesn't actually serve up anything, hence the blank image.

Well if it helps the issue is also present in my firefox browser (Mozilla Firefox 82.0.3) and Chrome (Google Chrome 86.0.4240.198) curiously enough Chromium (Chromium 86.0.4240.75 Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04
) renders both the page than Muon linked and the diorama fine.
