I just wanted to note that the announcements thread for the Christmas event (as well as Dev Diary 20/11/2012 and others) are lacking images, because of incorrect URLs. I have posted a topic about this in the technical problems forum as well as sent a PM to BB Dantesama, but the links in the new announcements thread are incorrect as well. It's easy to fix however, by just adding ".cdn" between "static2" and ".ubi" in the URLs.
Until it is fixed by a moderator in those threads, you can view the images by checking "page info" and the "media" tab (at least in Firefox), copying the incorrect URLs and adding the ".cdn" into them in a different tab/window.
