Picture display on HPOTD

[Philly_SWAT]

Am I the only one who is not seeing the the icons in the threads on this board? I forget what they even are now, but on the top of a thread where it shows the thread tree, the little pics to the left of the posts are not showing. Everything else on the site is, as well as any other website I visit. When I click on the broken pic icon and hit "show picture", it still doesnt show it. I think it is supposed to be a little arrow or something.

Does this even make sense?

Everything appears OK to me...

Post a direct link to a page having the problem, along with the forum style (colour) you are using...

Every page I am having the same problem. Look no further than this link. Above these posts, in the thread tree, next to our names where I think there is usually an arrow, I just see ...."the box with a red X in it" that means there is a broken link or unavailble picture. I usually see this on a website where the html code says to display a picture, but is either typed in wrong or the picture isnt in the folder it is supposed to be in, or has been removed from the server, but the article remains. I am using the green color scheme.

Tis fine for me... Even changed to your 'Green' style...

[Philly_SWAT]

Weird then......

[Andy]

Ive checked each style, all of which are working for me.

Has this problem been ongoing or just for the last day or so, since the upgrade?

A few things i would suggest are try hard-refreshing the page (shift+F5 on your keyboard), try right clicking on the X and clicking "Show Image" from the menu, try emptying out your tempory internet files and cookies or try viewing the forums with an alternative browser.. for example firefox or opera.

These fixes will eliminate possible causes of this issue, please do get back and let me know if it continues.

Clicking on the x and hitting show image does not solve the problem. Maybe you could post a direct link to the image file, to see if I can see that? Perhaps that might even solve the problem.

Dont know if this is realted or not, but I just noticed that the [glow] tag is not working anymore, at least from my display.

Philly, is this problem still ongoing?

There is another update available already which i will be doing in the next couple of days, hopefullly should fix some of the recent problems.

Can't see how VBB has anything to do with this!? At the end of the day the HTML page is rendered and has completely standard HTML code to specify what/where the image is?

Philly, do you know any HTML at all? Would be worth seeing what one of the broken images is pointing to for you?

vBulletin uses templates to render the HTML for all its pages and the template system was completely changed and revamped in the last upgrade, since philly has said this has only been happening since the upgrade last week im thinking its causing some kind of conflict with his browser or system ;)

I'll upgrade us to 3.6.8 when i get time to this week, which i know is supposed to fix a couple of display bugs on certain systems, so we'll see if that helps at all.. if not then we'll have to look at other solutions.

Philly - Can you see this image? http://forum.homepageofthedead.com/images/misc/navbits_finallink.gif

This is one of the images used in the top nav bar that I believe you say you can't see?

Yes I can see that image, but I still do not see the images up top. Today I just bought a brand new computer, and even now I still do not see the images up top.

Can you email me a screen shot showing me the missing image so we know we're talking about the same thing..?

Maybe I am dumb or something, but I dont see a way to add an atachment.

[Neil]

LOL! Just email it to neil[AT]homepageofthedead.com

--- EDIT ---

A true example of a picture speaking a thousand words!!

Andy - Switch this thread to threaded or hybrid view, and then use the green display template/style... Now look at the top of the browser...

Blue is fine, so it appears its a 'spacer' image missing?

Lol sorted, it would seem the new version of vBulletin uses several "tree" images instead of just one which during the upgrade, where not added to the "style2" and "style3" directories i created for the green and red styles.

Fixed :)
