Help With Pictures:

[martel]

hey all- craig said someone here may be able to help. when I am viewing in any of the forums 90% of the pictures do not come through. I only see a light purple message box w/ message that says: "Click thumbnail to see full-size image" and no hyperlink to click either. I have been using firefox for sometime and thought it was a bug in the browser, so i tried with IE and the same thing happens. again I am able to see the thumbs of some pictures and even enlarge the thumbs, but most of them have the above message. Even in the same thread I will get one, maybe two pics out of 10-12.

anyone have a suggestion? I want to be able to see everyone's pics!!

I have the same purple hazy box, but they always work. Im using firefox. Are you on dial up? is it possible that there take a bit of time to load? if not that maybe you have some security setting issue. Its just a guess. Im shure a tech head can give you a better answer.

nope- i am on highspeed. don't have problems with other pics. regardless of time it does not load- and again no hyperlink to click on.
i'll wait for a tech head...

do you have a popup blocker that is stopping the picture from popping up?? --- I also use Firefox and I just click on the purple box and they open..

I find that often the window the displays the enlarged picture is hidden behind the main browser window - see if that is the story.

I assume you're using a mac? Do you have Firefox 1.5.0.1? I don't think it is your browser though. Is there a seperate program on your system handling jpeg files? Find a .jpg file on your computer and open it. Check to see if you can associate all jpeg files w/Firefox. Not sure what to do on the mac end...

ok, regardless of my avatar- i am fine with my mac- but i do not use the internet at home with the ibook- still on the PC. and I am not getting any pop up because there is no thumb nail to begin with. again, i get the thumb maybe one out of thirty posts i see with pics. some posts- like craigs sticky on the conference- i get one out of all the pics he posted in a tuhmb, the rest have the message as above- so, it is not a completely consistent problem- strange- any other takers?

thanks for all the shots at it...

What about the other stuff I mentioned? That was for mac or pc. I assume this is the only site this happens with? In Firefox go to TOOLS_OPTIONS_CONTENT . Is load images selected? Not the sub box though. That's about all I can think of, sounds like your system is somehow protected from showing jpeg images. Is their a porn filter or something else installed blocking the viewing of jpeg files?

 

[martel]

that is enabled. also, seems like this is a particualr issue when I am on this forum. i see thumbs fine (jpg and others) on other forums. Thanks for the effort.

try hiding or minimizing the forum after you have clicked on a picture it will probably come as it is hidden

The window that opens is a javascript window. check that JS is enabled in the browser(s) and that security is not so tight.

Have not heard the same complaint from anyone else.

Just to let you all know- out of the blue the pictures starting showing in the thumbs... no idea why.

thanks for all the shots at this./
