As of my last check, browsers still downloaded the "image".
I've just noticed you can't hotlink to images on PMs, which is a great move. However, you're able to link to pictures from any hoster when posting in the forums, which is great for trader hunters. Furthermore, there's no dereferer in place, which lets tracker staff know exactly where you clicked that link to their site, as well as make attacks like this "IP-catching links" easier, as by the time you click them it'll be too late - whereas dereferers give you a few seconds before really loading the page.
And let's not forget the CSS Leak, which can be used to "read" your history. They've been using it to detect SB-I and T-I users, and I don't see why threads on FST's trading area can't be next.
