Title: Pictures
Post by: Romsca on July 14, 2013, 04:38:41 PM
My internet has not gotten any new filters lately, but I can't see a lot of the pictures I used to be able to see. Do you think it has to do with internet browser updates? Or is it something with this site?

Yeah me too like someone has posted a picture and I can't see it and everyone's talking about it and I feel annoyed

Can you show me a thread where this occurs?  I don't have this issue.

Sometimes I can't see the pictures, e.g. the Funny Lord of the Rings Pictures topic, but they will load when I come back another time ... not sure if it's a server issue (forum or image host) or just my ancient computer causing it though.

I suspect some problems can be through the internet service providers.  I've had cable lines for years and the only time pictures don't load is when the image is no longer at the location it was pointing to.

The picture you posted of Cheek in Redwall Fashion won't come up, for example

*I'm the 10th place top poster now!*

If the image is no longer stored you should get the normal brwoser broken image link icon, but in these cases there's simply no picture at all, not even a gap.

Hmmm...bet it could be a parental control block because of where the image comes from.  Don't worry, its 100% appropriate and isn't anything you shouldn't see, but I can guarantee its a website blocker program if that image isn't loading for you.

I'm going to put the picture up through my image host.  You should be able to see it now. :)

Unfortunately some Internet providers have their own systems and blacklists of servers they won't allow access to.

My own hopeless Internet provider (Vodafone New Zealand) has a silly spam email system that simply deletes any email it thinks is spam ... fully deletes the email, not just moves it to a spam folder so you can check it. :(

But the blockers wouldn't account for why some images do appear when I come back later. Which is why I was guessing it was somthing like a server temporarily offline for backup or similar.

Have you seen Martin the Warrior? The one on the left is Keyla from MtW.

Sometimes I can't see people user pictures such as I couldn't see your Lutra and then I could and then I couldn't again it gets annoying is there anything I can do to stop it

^ Can't help you there. My image host is reliable and I've never seen it down.  I don't get why you see my pictures sometimes, and then you sometimes don't....they always load when I'm on.

I can see your picture now but I could ealier  ??? This is so confusing
Title: Re: Pictures
Post by: Lutra on July 17, 2013, 08:01:54 PM
Again, I think it was where the original picture was hosted (with Keyla); I've put it on my own image host now that shouldn't create any troubles.

If you look at Phoenixfoden's Art Thread, the picture doesn't appear, I had to go and change it.

phoenix and I have been having conversations about that.  I think the host is getting blocked.  I suggested not to link there and try somewhere else.

The picture in the FAQ has an invalid url. The owner of it removed it from their blog.
