Fixed Avatar Images in HTML email not rendered

[tenants]

I've noticed, when watching threads / forums / custom

The emails that get sent to the user always has a broken image

It seems, no matter what helper you are using to get an image, the image always returns as (for core emails too):

http://styles/default/xenforo/avatars/avatar_s.png

Which is obviously a broken image

Can't confirm this.

I get a lot of e-mails and they all contain the correct avatar.

Example:



EDIT: Do the other links in the e-mails work ok? At first glance I'd say that would only happen if you don't have the correct board URL configured.

There's a <base> tag that makes this work correctly. This support may vary based on email clients (which have notoriously horrendous and inconsistent HTML support).

We have some canonicalization support here, but I don't think we can be positive that it's going to work in an email.

I've always seen this (hotmail), it's only now that I'm working on this area I've noticed the URL

@Chris Deeming

Can you create a thread here:
http://xenforo.com/community/forums/test-messages.6/

(I'm watching this forum with email alerts)

That worked, I got chris's avatar image

I wonder why the base isn't working when sent from my forums

 

[tenants]

So, the email client from my forum is ignoring the base URL?

and this is fairly common?

(which have notoriously horrendous and inconsistent HTML support)

Would it be possible when calling the helper via the email template to avoid using base
I've seen this on 2 out of 2 servers, I'm unsure how common this is, but if it is common, it's still an issue

Yes, all the other links are correct (contain the full URL). It's just the images that are broken

It's likely just the <base> being removed or manipulated by the email client. I don't know why it would potentially vary per install though...

I have tweaked this for 1.2.1 though, so the full URL should be used.
