Title: Odd problem
Post by: Thom89 on 08 March 2013, 02:10
I decided to put this in this section, so more people may see it...
My Sig at the bottom of this thread, is an image hosted on Imageshack was kindly done by Shady some time ago,
My problem is, I can't see it when I'm on my Macbook, it disappeared the other day I noticed, I just get a blank box with a small blue square in the middle with a question mark,
Yet if I use my Iphone, or Ipad, the image is how it should be!
If I go into my "Forum profile" the IMG code is correct, and where it should be!
A quick Google revealed that others have had similar problems, and that registering on Imageshack may solve this... It didn't!
My uneducated conclusion is that my Macbook is missing a piece of software that allows the image to appear
Can anyone shed any light onto this?

Clear the cache in your browser on the mac.

What format is the image in? .gif? .jpeg? This will help identify why certain browsers can't see it. It  may just be a missing plug in. I'm using an android tablet with dolphin browser and I get the blue square aswell

I'm sure I made it a PNG but could be a JPEG. Either way it's showing on my screen Thom.  :)

Tried this Jay a few mins ago, also tried resetting Safari, and killing the power and back on again, and its still not working, double checked again on Iphone, and Ipad, and again, they're Ok
thanks every one else also for the replies, but I'm still mystified!

I have signatures turned off, so didn't notice this at first, but I can't see the image either. Use Photobucket.

Definitely strange! also starting to see more of the little blue question mark boxes appear across the forum!
I have a feeling this may have something to do with my MBP still running OS X 10.5.8 and missing some little bit of software
What would be the best way to get my sig onto Photobucket?
Thanks again

Thom

Create a photo bucket account and upload the image, copy the img tag, replace the existing img tag, done.

Thanks Jay, pretty much as I thought, I'll sort it tonight when I'm back home :wink:

The Photobucket apps for Android is pretty good, I assume it's the same for iOS - loads of features and you got the img tag at the  tap of your finger.

Absolute doddle on the iphone 5 jay, opened up he forum, tapped on image, and put it into camera app, opened up photobucket on Iphone and transferred the pic, then Photobucket on the MBP and swapped out the old Imageshack code, and in with the new... can't believe even I managed to do all that :grin: :grin:
Just happy that the sig is back at least for me only! would still like to get to he bottom of the problem though, as more and more little blue boxes are starting to appear on here, and across the net...

Thanks again everyone for the input
