images and avatar thumbs no longer loading....

For about a week or so...I have noticed that I cannot view many photos in the forum (including my own). Instead all I see is a generic icon. Same thing happens to most people's Avatars. Recently I tried to upload some photos, and even those appeared as the generic icon. Any ideas? Seems to happen on several forums. Is this possibly linked to a recent Windows Update?

Here's an example:

I cannot no longer view the photos of this Colorado (even though I'm the one that posted them).

I don't know how to fix it, but this is the case for me on my iPad and my Samsung phone...

Alrock had said there was an issue with pics on the chat board and he needed someone smarter than him to fix it. Guessing we are still looking for the smart person[emoji15]

Bigunit · Sep 13, 2015

Yes, we are. We are in the process of lining up an IT support tech for the forum to fix this and other forum software issues.

And to think, I thought you were smart, ya know lawyer and all[emoji15]. Just pulling your leg Luisa!

Sorry guys, I think it's an easy fix but it's a bit beyond me and I've been strapped for time. Will get it done.

No problem...I'm relieved to learn it's not on my end. I poked around the net and read something about Java updates and security settings and msconfig stuff.
It's all Greek to me.

I tried to help alrock work through what he thought the issue to be, but it turned out to not be so. Though now I'm wondering if this is hosted on a Windows server (shudder to think!) or a Linux server (yay Linux!), as if it's a Windows server then I have no idea (I'm a Linux sysadmin). I try to not trouble myself with that cluster#$%^ of an OS.

alrock · Sep 15, 2015

I got my new sys admin on board, now need to familarize him with our systems. We're on a Linux server.

This isn't part of this thread but how do you start a new thread? I did when I first downloaded tapatalk but now I can't figure it out. I'm on an iPhone. Googled it and they said there should be an arrow at the top right but it's not there. I have questions. HELP! [emoji16]

Tapatalk keeps changing their UI; it's annoying as heck. I'm not sure on a iPhone as I haven't used one in a while.

I just posted a thread in the "BUILDS" forum....typed & uploaded from my desktop....no luck. I'm going to try and post the same photos from my phone and see if they appear.

4speedfunk · Sep 18, 2015

Okay...here's the same pics posted from Tapatalk...

4speedfunk · Sep 18, 2015

Hmmm. Weird. I can see them fine now. Does this help the diagnosis?
I'm willing to bet that Super Buick and 06H3 are posting from their phones as well. So it appears that the problem may have to do with the source the photos comes from. Perhaps old school desktop browser uploads are no longer supported? Seems to post fine from my phone. Strange.

I thought I was being punished for not posting enough! lol

rascole · Oct 1, 2015

I am still unable to see most of the pics and unable to load any either. Is there a work around?

alrock · Oct 1, 2015

Not yet, sorry. I've hired someone but it will take him a bit of time to learn what we have here. I appreciate everyone's patience.

Hired someone? Lemme know if you need $$ to help offset the cost, I'd be happy to pitch in.

alrock · Oct 14, 2015

I'm on contractor #2, first one was not available. I suspect it's a stupidly easy fix, but I'm really pretty darn stupid.

Bigunit · Oct 14, 2015

I'm even stupider and of no use on this issue.

Dumb and dumber?

3Hummers · Oct 15, 2015

and that is being kind.

Bigunit · Oct 15, 2015

Hey watch it! I resemble that remark. [emoji12]
