Browser issue Broken Icon

[The Dark Wizard]

I get this: http://ss.rpdom.com/sUxw

Yet the image perfectly exists on the server: http://www.rpdom.com/styles/default/xenforo/widgets/ajaxload.info_000000_facebook.gif

It happens when sending emails or upgrading the board(It helped all recent versions)

I know a few more sites where it also happens.

It's basically because we start a redirect and the browser stops loading any images on the page that it hasn't loaded already.

The primary method around it (embedding it in the CSS itself) is probably not worthwhile. The alternative method (delaying the redirect, slowing down the process) is definitely not worthwhile.

Then what would you consider worthwhile?
