Forum image issues

Working well for me, using XP Media Center with SP 3 and Firefox

Colin, am I right in assuming that you mean the one's marked:- Front Page, Recent Threads, Help
etc. If so mine are working fine using Chrome.

No problems here.

Hi Colin,

Yes: some images and avatars not loading for me though I've not noticed it before. It's not consistent though and I haven't been able to replicate it myself. Screenshots here and here

Mac 10.7.3, Google Chrome

Incidentally I've been meaning to say that on and off for months, about three or four times a week clicking onto DD brings a 'Page not Found' error for several minutes before the site loads again. Don't know if anyone else ever finds that.

You've misunderstood what we're referring too!!

We are investigating a potential technical issue with images associated with the functions & look of the forum.

The screen shots you show are in relation to individual users and their own image providers. I have no problems viewing any of them though!!



That will be a Proboards issue (our software provider). They have recently gone from weekly backups to daily backups - now they do these in the middle of the night, in their native America.......I wouldn't be too surprised if their back up times clash with our busier times. They're also doing server work in preparation for the long promised version 5 software update - that may or may not have something to do with it too

As you may have guessed by now though, this isn't related to the subject of this thread either!!

I am one with the issues - but it only started after I had to clear the browser caches. All was fine up till then, but now there are problems both with images (main banner and buttons at top) on here AND accessing the main site: won't load at all.

If you haven't emptied your cache recently you probably won't have the image issues..........

Normally images etc. from sites load from the cache - they only need to access the site if those images have been removed in one way or another. Like by having to empty the cache. "Not loading" means getting the message 'waiting for.......' until the page times out ("connection was reset"/ priblem loading page).

windows XP and it happens with FF, IE8, Opera AND chrome........my usual is FF.


Even more bizarre here (except to an expert perhaps). If on my Android (Opera Mobile 11.5) I use the wifi to the home router I get all the same problems - BUT if I use the O2 data connection all works perfectly including the image buttons here AND the main site, almost instantaneously.

And the final piece of the puzzle is that my son's laptop does exactly the same thing here at home but is fine elsewhere.
And the IP provider (Entanet) have done a tracert from the site to here and nothing takes longer than 38ms.


Any computer "holmes"'s like to make a case (preferably a solution) out of that lot?? Worth noting that the images here, and the main site itself, are hosted in the same place.

I tried to access this threat at 8.15 this morning to say all was fine on my laptop, but the forum was being backed-up so I couldn't
