  • What’s wrong? I can’t view pictures on this site!

    Posted by Gwaredd Steele on 21 June 2005 at 19:28

    Hi.

    I’m having problems seeing anyone’s pics they post up. All except Robert Lambies pics that is.

    All I get is something that resembles an excel box, with the words jpg, file size & number of times viewed. I don’t get a box with a little red ‘x’ in it or nothing.

    I’m finding it a little fustrating to say the least, as I can’t see anyone elses work, nor most of the ‘how to’s’ & tips & trick that I’ve just paid for.

    I’ve never had any problems like this before, rest of the net is fine.

    Help anyone?

    Gareth.

    It sound like a firewall setting is not allowing the pics If you are running a firewall, turn it of temporaly to see if this resolves the problem.

    Hi
    The table should consist of 5 rows,

    Row 4 should say “Viewed : 415 Time(s)”
    Row 5 will contain the picture or something else

    I had a look at the page source and it is just a standard call like used for all graphics on the internet. The only thing I can think of is you have changed your profile but I cannot see the setting.

    This board should look very “text only”

    I was having the same trouble and as Peter has said its a firewall problem. I run a similar firewall to Zone Alarm and it is in the privacy settings. Hope this helps. Cheers.

    it probably wont help here , but i always like to start with the basics…

    i.e do you have “show pictures” enabled in explorer settings

    Goto “Tools” , “internet options” , “Advanced” and check there is a tick on “Show Pictures”

    I actually have started to use Firefox these days , find it a lot better , no pop-ups , and a lot less hacks out there to bother me !!

    Cheers, Steve
