With some photos on UHH it's not that obvious between the thumbnail and the download, with others it's crazy-different, such as the example in Paul's first link.
Given how many people probably view thumbnail only, I would want my pics to display the "correct" way up front. I've dabbled on other forums, such as fredmiranda.com, and there is no issue (same with flickr and others) - I assume because those are direct uploads, not embedded and reduced for the thumbnail view.
The issue here at UHH is that the forum software strips the EXIF data including the ICC profile tag from uploaded photos when it re-sizes them. It doesn't have to do that -- as you noted there's no problem with Flickr and that includes the re-sized versions.
As a result here at UHH, a photography forum, all user photos on the forum pages are displayed with colors undefined.
