Picture viewing problem

[Rebel]

I am having a problem and don't know if it is just me or if others are experiencing the same thing. A lot of the photos on the different threads aren't coming up for me, just a red X where the photos should be. Some of them i looked at just earlier today and now they won't come up. Like the pics of someones CVA Mt pistol and Hawken rifle. I looked at the pics of the pistol earlier, and now i went to look at the rifle and it won't come up and the pistol pic's are gone too. I went to other pages with pics and some of them are there and some arent'. Anyone know what the problem might be, besides ME? Thanks for any help.

From what I've been told,[url] Hunt101.com[/url] photo server is having problems today and is down for maintance, if the pictures are hosted there, this would by why...

The other reason would be that the picture was deleted at the source, whoever posted it...

Thanks Musket Man.

I sometimes have the same problem. I just asked the same thing on another thread BTW. Could it be a setting on my computer?

Could it be a setting on my computer?

No.

When you see a question mark where a graphic should be, it's because the original file (graphic) can no longer be found. It has either been deleted, moved, name changed, etc. The code in the post still links to a file that no longer exists.

Unfortunately, there's nothing we or you can do to prevent this.

When you click on the Image button and the little box opens it starts with http:// . If you paste in your photos address (the URL number you copied from the picture site) and it enters the full URL number, the address will look like [url=http://http://whatevertheaddressis.]http://http://whatevertheaddressis.[/url]
If it has the two http:// at the beginning, it won't work.
If you go in and remove one of the http:// from the address, it will then work fine.

Another problem which I have had happen is I failed to copy the entire URL address, so when I entered it in the Image window, the computer couldn't find the picture.

Good Luck to you. :)

This can happen on and off ( like today ) due to photo hosting sites like Photo Bucket being down...

LEJ,
Yesterday I was curious about the red x's so I right clicked on one and in the box was the active option of opening the picture. So I clicked on that and after a short wait the picture came up. So I right clicked on the other red x's and sure enough after a while I had them all up. What do you think?
God bless.

Well if that don't beat all?! I'll have to try that next time one of them X shows up. Right now they all seem to be working ::

 

I just uploaded a photo to photobucket and some of my other photos where no longer there. No biggie and I just cleared out my other older photos to save them space on their server but those who use photobucket may wish to check their albums just in case some of their photos were lost too.

I am a webmaster on a couple of commercials sites and when web hosts have problems, any number of things can go wrong and getting the red X instead of a photo is just one of them. I have had to reload one large website a few times already and when you are on dial-up, that takes many hours! :curse:

 

[Stumpkiller]

Frank,

I got the dread Red X on your capper image. When I checked its properties I found:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/xfs123/caploader.jpg
instead of:
http://photobucket.com/albums/v427/xfs123/caploader.jpg

That "img." after the "http://" is messing up the link. I removed it and dropped it on my browser and it worked like a charm. Are you copying the proper choice from Photobucket? I copy and insert the top box under the Photobucket image.

Stump,
Ain't them j-pegs easier to ship between different folks "image-photo viewers"?? I'm new to all this techno stuff but teach my online students to use jpeg when in doubt. You'all are prob way ahead of me in this forum, and logic. ...
Don't the proprietary pix-processor try to jumble this up so we use their stuff? We had to investigate the proprietary website -platform provider to find out the preferred image transmisssion mode. Is this techno-babble? I hope not! I'm an ameteur myself!

Yes. JPEG and GIF are cross-platform files that can be viewed by virtually all computer platforms.

"PNG" (Portable Network Format) is another option, but not as widely used (yet). PNG is an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel for transparency. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits per component (up to 48bit images for RGB, or 64bit for RGBA).

To see if your browser can support PNG visit the following page:

Not in my case. I USED to know what it was about when I was in college - I even could program the 16-bit 8086 chips with Assembler at their whopping 5 Mhz. After DOS fell into disuse I was nuttin but a speed bump on the information highway. Now Boolean Algebra I can do. Logic gates, the land of the AND and the lore of the NOR. Took me 17 hours and five phone calls to get my home PC to establish contact with my ISP. Should have asked the 13 year old next door. He'd a done it in 5 minutes.

Now I pay some dweeby kid to set up my PC. Much easier. Let them keep up with technology. I don't have a digital camera, even. When I was in high school I was in the pre-college electrical engineering program. Slide rules and tube circuits. Yeah, that's three years of hard work that comes in handy now. But I did learn never to trust an answer that doesn't seem to make sense. I had a boss fresh out of college with a CPA that believed anything his HP 12C calculator displayed - even if it was some wildly silly result. He couldn't take 20% of 100 without a calculator.

I got a bad grade in math once (well, more than once ) in grade school and my Dad made me sit with him and count through a deck of cards as I flipped them over; aces are 1 and face cards are 10. Out loud. And do it over and over if I came up with any result but 340. Even if it took hours. And Claude wonders why I rebel (in my odd little ways).

How the heck did I get there??? See how you can screw up kid's minds for life doing stuff like that!

 

Stumpkiller,

Thanks for info. Yes, I copied the top box for the URL of the photo and just went back to check it and "img" is part of the URL. Musketman had a problem seeing it for a minute or so too. So I doublechecked my post and I got the image OK. ::

But while doing that this afternoon, I realized how big the file was and reduced it down to about 36k and uploaded the new file. The original was around 135k. Way, way too much bandwidth for what was needed as well as memory on their server. The whole capper is only about 3 thumb widths wide but it was eating up enough space to display a high-rise building!:haha:

You guys have been so nice, I hate to ask another favor, but if ya had chance to look at that image again, you should see a smaller picture with the new URL of:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/xfs123/Rendezvous/caploader3.jpg.

If you are not getting the image, let me know here or by PM and I will edit out the "img" part of the URL on this and all future posts. Thanks again.

And all this time I thought Claude was just another purty face! :crackup:

 

[Stumpkiller]

Nope. Didn't work. I had to remove the img. at the front AND an extra period at the end. Then it worked. And it was smaller once I got there.

 

[technutz]

If you having a problem displaying some pictures, I would like to help. What browser are you using, operating system and hardware platform . In my work I am asked many questions like this and all I can do is recommend an upgrade in software. In particular I would recommend using Mozilla's Firefox browser. the link is http://mozilla.org

Give it a try, and I will look for your specs to see if I can trouble shoot your issue.

:relax:

 

Stumpkiller,

Had the new guy (technutz) that just signed up on the forum check it and he can see the picture OK. I wonder-did you go to the message where I have the picture posted or just try to open the link in this thread? I do not have the picture posted in this thread, only in the other one. I only have the link posted here and you would be correct to delete the "img" and the last period to actually open the link at PhotoBucket. I am not sure I would have figured that out unless you told me that so I thank you for that good tip. That may be useful in sending photobucket links in regular emails.

Photobucket says they are having some disk issues and experiencing problems. Some files may have been corrupted. They have a fix date of 11/04.

But here is the photo, using the forum's normal image posting procedure for testing purpose. I can see the photo OK in my message preview. I hope you can see it as well. Darn Personal Confusers are bothersome at times!:haha:

Thanks for your effort and help.:thumbsup:

I click on the above link you supplied and I get:


The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Open the[url] img.photobucket.com[/url] home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.



HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer



If I remove the "img." in the front and the "." at the tail after the extension from where it appears up in my Address bar it works fine. Could be my browser, but if so 80%+ of the members will be having the same problem because I use the Microsoft Internet Explorer. There is no img.photobucket.com homepage, it is just photobucket.com
