I have noticed a lot of posts that seem to be referring to a picture, but nothing is showing.
I can see some pictures so they aren't always unavailable
What am I missing???
-
Me too, same problem - thought it was just my lack of computer skills... :-\
-
Okayyy.
Pics are hosted on a seperate computer and hot linked to this website. If the other pc is offline or there is a problem with the path to that pc the pics wont show. The problems may be your security settings or a pc down in the network to the hosting pc.
-
What do we need to do in our security settings to have the pictures show?
-
is a slider Husky. Just lower it a lil bit and click the apply button. see how that goes. If it fixes its all good if not no biggy as its the file path with the issue and not anything easy you can do to fix that cept try a few proxies and thats getting a bit techy
-
Hmmmm I don't have any security stuff to speak of, & all seemed to work fine on the old forum???
-
It *might* be something to do with this forum, altho I tend to think it's likely to be your settings. Give me an example of a post where this is happening and I'll check it out.
-
3 things it could possibly be
1: Depends on what site the pic is hosted on and if you have a clear path on the network to that picture guys.
With security it all depends on the website again if it is in the correct security zone that your settings(yes you do have security settings) are set for .
2: If using internet explorer go up the top tp tools/internet options/Privacy and set it to medium for starters . then click secirity then the internet icon then custom level and again set it to medium. also check within that box that show pictures has a dot in it . if they show fine if not lower themm a bit more.. Or you have a third party software security setting
3: There really isnt a pic at all and we are just stuffing with your heads ;D

Iv'e noticed it a few times but can't remember where to look for them all now, but Quicksilvers My new bike CR 125m in biketalk is a classic example, no picture shows in his first post, everyone else seems to be able to see it.
I just had another look and still nothing shows even after waiting a few minutes which I often have to do with this bloody 28.8 dialup
Pokeys option 3 could explain a lot, I'm always on the outside looking in.
-
What's really weird is I posted a pic and it worked fine and about two days later it had dissapeared?
-
I had considered Pokey's 3rd option on the odd occassion myself.. :-\
the post boldly states..here is a pic but there is just an empty void ???
but this is kinda good news as I was beginning to think the void was all in my head :)

is the address of said pic so its hosted on this site so maybe graeme can sort it for you but I do feel in this instance its your security settings
-
You know there is something a bit strange there. I know the post you mean and at the time I wondered why there was just a space there. Now, this pic of Doc's goes in OK but doesn't show up. For some reason the forum software converts the first '=' to a '-' (ie after ?action)
(http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a205/Doctor_Suzuki/?action-view¤t=swscan0000600002.jpg)
If you look at the image properties, that first = is shown as a - and yet it was inserted as an =
Hmmm...
-
Is odd Graeme. dont suppose its as simple as a word filter within the control panel?
-
when my broadband is at is monthly limit i have trouble see pics too they dont want to load

just having a little play guys dont mind me .
the top image if you can see it . theBB code was entered manually
the bottom is html and the middle the button
have been reading a little and the script command in Display.template.php
could be the prob. just a thought .

about halfway down the page Graeme. have a look and see if it makes any sense ..may give you an idea where to look.
I hate code
-
I'm just so glad to hear it's not just me :D
I can see your top 2 pictures Pokey, they started out as a little box with an x inside until they finished downloading to my computer, the 3rd remains as an address.
If the little box appears I know somethings their but with some of the other posts their is nothing.
-
The only time I login is when I'm gonna post something, it's when I'm logged in that all pics are visible. When I'm logged out all pics that are hosted externally ie; photobucket are visible but not the ones I assume have been uploaded direct.
Hope this makes sense, cheers - Eno
-
stuffed i know for sure why its changing the address but it is and only sometimes . hmmm
HTML code must be switched off in eiether the forum or in both of our profiles or the bottom pic would have displayed aswell.
for eno to be able to view pics only whilst logged in means thats a preset forum thingy.
am pretty sure its a glitch with the code and when it sees a particulr set of charachters it posts as to its command but exactly which command i really dunno as i havnt looked at the source code and code gives me a headache.
Hows about we just draw a picture for geoff ;D

Well nothings changed guys, iwas just sussn sum pics i put up in biketalk gt80 topic & realized they'd disapeared (was'nt logged in at the time) logged in & wolar there they r. thought it was just my incompetent comfuser skills.
-
Thanks Eno
Just had a chance to check out your theory & it seems to be correct.
My next whinge is about the size of pictures.
This new format seems to put a post with a picture in a window within the post. If theirs a lot of text to go with the picture then some of it gets obscured to one side, this used to be okay on the old site but with this new site I find I have to scroll to below the picture to find the scroll bar so as to scroll to the right so I can finish reading the sentence, then scroll back to the bottom of the picture to scroll to the left so I can read the start of the next line, & so on & so on.
It makes reading text with pictures a real pain, so is their some easy way around this that I don't know?
-
Hmmm must be just me then.
Maybe I should just get a wider screen
-
is a few things that may assist you Geoff.
adjust your screen settings
Right click a vacant bit on your desktop and choose properties. then the settings tab and slide the screen resolution slider up a bit, then apply
Orrr. at the top of your browser click the View tab then the Text size and choose a smaller size .
failing those yerp. get a larger screen monitor
-
Give me an example of that Geoff. I can't say I've noticed that, to me it works much better than the old one, but then maybe I haven't seen one like that. Not sure I can fix it tho. Still can't work out why some pics aren't shown, whether I am logged on or not...
-
Well buggered if I know Graeme, I just searched everywhere for an example & it's not doing it anymore.
Bloody computer is messing with my head.
-
Beats me... That's computers for you eh? Weird one day, completely screwy the next. Let's hope it keeps on working fine then :)
-
Seems that the sites picture uploader is full again (we have been busy ;D ;D)
