Thread: Thumbnails not all working

I have noticed lately when I open a thread with pics that the thumbnails dont always work, not been a real concern, but now having all sorts of trouble with the box comp thread. If the page loads, it loads very slowly and most of the thumbnails wont load for me. All very frustrating, is it me/mycomputer/my internet? I am on satelite.

Please help, I was looking forward to spending a lot of time perusing the lovely entries, and am getting very frustrated

G'day Donna,
There is a fault in the box comp for entry# 8 where the thumbnails don't work for that entry.......that was my fault........ but all the others work OK.
I will fix that tonight.

Is it happening on other threads?

watson, the first picture of all the entries don't work either.


Donna, read this post http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...14&postcount=5

I read that post earlier and tried it but to no avail. Funnily enough the thumbnails for number 8 are viewable, as is the very last thumbnail in the post. Cant find another post where the thumbnails dont work for me, but I know there have been some. I might just have to download each pic individually to my computer so I can have a good look and compare them.

And when I say that the thumbnails dont work, what I mean is, I dont get the thumbnail picture, just the square with the red x in it.

Donna

this is happening on my confuser too.

the first pics arent working for me either?

I wanted to show my mate the pics but he says he can't see them cause he ain't a member Since when do people have to be members to view pics?

Since.... lezzzseee, sometime in past couple of years I think....

Strange then that my sister (a non member) was able to view the pics in this thread

Or maybe she was lying....

That would be because they're hosted on photobucket and not here on WWF's server

did she use the same pc as you?

That'd be it

Just downloaded firefox, and the page is loading HEAPS faster, but still same prob with the thumbnails except no boxes or little red x's, just the click here for larger image thing.

Limited image access to guests/visitors here has been variable for the past year or so. On two other forums using VBulletin (AAW & SMC), no access for visitors, ever AFAICT. A while back, Neil (the benevolent dictator) advised that heavy server traffic of downloading pics persuaded him to institute the present policy. Photobucket might, or might not, be different.

Another problem could be shared domains which don't provide unified login unless you tick "Remember Me." (I think)

Just been in and checked it out. I can see all pics and thumbnails and all thumbs enlarge when clicked.

Logged out and cleared cache. Could still see all main pice but not allowed to see the thumbs.

Logged back in as a normal member and could see everything as before.

I'm using firefox 3. Tried the same thing with IE 6x, Opera, and Safari and got the same results with each one.

Must admit that IE was slow loading the pics and I'm running high speed cable. Wouldn't want to be waiting for the download on anything slower. It's possible the problem is nothing more than slow download of the pics.

Cheers - Neil
