Update Forum Images

[2wheelsagain]

Hi gang I've had a quick play with some options and got the forum looking ok for now.
I'll work on another banner over the weekend unless Cam comes along first.

Thanks mate .................home page looks like it did years ago from memory ( before it was tissied up by sloth27 ? )         well done 

[Chook]

Great job 2wa

[paul]

Yep , working a treat . I looked on ASB forum , & they ,(and any other forums) have the same problem with past post pictures from PB .................a small price to pay to still have the forum usable & not be held to ransom by photobucket! . I assume the adds we are seeing under the header are from the forum  & not photobucket   ,.............. as has been said elsewhere RIP Photobucket................. glad you got it sorted, thanks

I've used SERVIMG from the start and not really had any issues with them.   I did learn early on to only host pictures from my own system, even though they can link to other URLs there is no saying if these other sites will close down and/or lock you out.

Recently I recommended them on another forum and someone wrote back saying it appears you cannot join SERVIMG as a new user, there does not appear to be any gateway from their public facing pages.  

Wonder if they'll be the next ones to close their (free) doors, hope not ?

[paul]

I hope they don't as well  @barry_mcki..............wonder who the new members on here are using then if they can't join servimg ? 

I like the new header TW.

Thanks Paul. Needs a couple of oilers. Unless Cam tells me otherwise I'll change it occasionally.
The header photo is hosted by the forum site. At least that's free (for now)
I'd love to know how many companies have coughed up PB's ransom. I hope it sends them broke.

hi All,
I am using a Apple computer and on this forum only, I can only see some members pictures and profile pics, and this is sporadic (a members images appear in some subjects but not in others) Work computer is all good.
All I am seeing is a blue box with a question mark in it.
I've tried searching but cannot locate anything that has been able to change it. I'm not computer savvy so hoping it is an easy fix.
Any tips?

Don't use apple

Or try a new browser and see if the images come good. I presume you are using Safari?

[paul]

I don't know much about apple , but there is this ..............

https://appletoolbox.com/2016/04/safari-images-not-showing/

or this 

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=some+images+blocked+by+apple+mac&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilsdSN1ajWAhUIwrwKHc1YCyIQvwUIIygA&biw=1920&bih=950

or as reddog suggested , try another browser

[2wheelsagain]

Probably no help but working fine with my 2 Macs iPad and iPhone (and Explorer on Win7)

I think that's called " rubbing it in "

Do you think Apple have me on the hook mate?

to try another browser, do i use safari, then type in google and then head here for the forum. I did that and the images have not changed.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm happy yours is working 2WA. %^W%#$#!!

once you are in firefox or google , you should be able to go into settings & make that your default browser

Installing chrome

[truck]

Thanks All,
I'll give the link instructions a crack when I get home Reddog I think it might be the computer settings, but I remember I was wrong once a long time ago and even then I think I was mistaken.

Thanks Again.

 I'm only wrong when the better half hears me 
Got my images sorted just now. I tried everything suggested and in the end I downloaded google chrome and now I can see the normal images.

Installing chrome

I've been using Chrome on my PC and Laptop for a few years

My PC which is still running 98    is still going fine

Last week while I was away for work Chrome started playing up on my Laptop (windows 10), it seemed like it wouldn't open at all but eventually (10-15 minutes later) it appeared and worked ok but a bit slow.

I've uninstalled Chrome and had 4 attempts at reinstalling, it gets as far as the the downloading window but the progress bar doesn't start, If I click on the X to close it it ves me the options "cancel installation" or "continue installation"
4 hours sitting and no progres?

Any ides?

Same problem with windows 10 laptop & also with facebook app not always working  .............I had a notification windows 10 now has the creators update ( almost 7 gig ) after which the internet didn't work ..........I went into settings & changed drivers , & then the internet worked again ...........then I had to delete the old versions as I had not much space left ..........then windows defender came up with a health caution that you guessed I had no space left .......... I did a scan & that fixed that . Then windows informed me a restart was needed to finish the update ......................9 hours after it was finished .............did the update & all now it all  is working well ................obviously a few bugs in their original update .I think Microsoft were stuffing around downloading the update to start with  & then supplied a buggy update , this may help if you have the same drama

(PS I don't use chrome with windows 10 but mind you , I also had some weird shit with google & chrome on android I posted about the other day ( corrupted ) , so I uninstalled all chrome updates & reinstalled them which cured the problem
