I've just tested and I don't see any image, the html is right there and just clicking will make the lightbox go away. I never see it anyway cause I'm signed in but I tried in incognito mode and it was fine. Not sure why there's so much misinformation and hate on HN when it comes to quora.

The reason you don't see an image is because you're signed in or you happen to be viewing an unblurred answer... As someone who has never used this site I can assure you that answers are a blurred PNG with the title "Sign up to view the contents of this answer."[1] It's not misinformation if it's correct.

  I clicked on this link and clicking outside of the lightbox anywhere on this page makes the blurred image disappear. Tried on both firefox and chrome in incognito mode so signed off. Did you try to click anywhere on the page?

It is not misinformation. Here is a screenshot of a quora page with source: http://i.imgur.com/x8Ic69y.jpg http://i.imgur.com/x8Ic69y.jpg

      I just tried this url in incognito mode. When I click anywhere outside of the light box, it goes away and I get the full text version. Am I being served some special html for my IP? Doubt it. Edit: just tried with a proxy IP and it worked too. Did you guys actually try to click outside of the light box?

        The first answer is text, the rest are images as you can see in the screenshot. Yes, I clicked outside of the light box. I used a screen capture service online to see what the site looks like to a third party: http://i.imgur.com/UedyYQW.png http://i.imgur.com/UedyYQW.png Since it's an automated service, it doesn't click away the lightbox, but if you scroll down you will see the text in the background are all blurred images.
