hey everyone!
since the day before yesterday I have had problems seeing pictures. so far I have noticed it when the pics are uploaded to imageshack.
for instance in jeremy's women pics I see a picture of a frog inside an ice cube and this writing "unregistered domain. go to http://imageshack.us to register.
Same thing in Wot's last thread.
Any ideas? I didn't change anything in my computers.
:( :( :(
-
I am not sure...
I have had that problem before, but with another server.
Maybe if you registered an account at Image Shack...? :eh?:
-
I have the same problem when I post pictures using that particular hosting source. I always go back & check my photo stories & eventually several pictures are dropped & require resubmitting. I have several old photo stories that are missing pictures now that I need to redo. It's very frustrating, but when something is free I can't complain I suppose!

I thought so too at first, but how would I connect the logging here with my logging in imageshack? it makes no sense. :(
Must be something else.

True, but free or not it should work.... :'(
What should I do then?

Which thread are you talking about specifically Gaston?
I could go back and check them to make sure they work. :-\
-
Yeah, I don't have an account at image shack, and the pics you've had problems with work for me, so it can't be that. ???
-
In the second reply where I had personnel pictures, there are several missing again that I have previously resubmitted. The large pictures are all showing up again,...I don't know why there were several that had disappeared last night, but now they're back.
This photo story is on page 9 @ the bottom.

Battering Ram.... I can't see those.
I do see everything from photobucket though.

Where are you located? could it be that your country blocks certain sites due to copyrights laws? OR like in Egypt your government thinks Playmobil pictures will corrupt your mind :lol:

Well... this is a 3rd world country for some :lol: but I could see them two days ago. I can't understand what happened. I have 3 computers and 2 internet providers (home and office) and it is the same in all of them. So it is not the server, nor the computers. :)
-
wait I think I know what it is..... brb
wel..no. I went to imageshack to reguster and a sign said I need to downlaod the latest version of flash player. I did. but still no pics. :(

Try rebooting your computer, Gaston. I did that this morning for mine & some of my problems have gone away.
-
yeah i don't think it's the photo host website, your computer probably needs to get something installed or updated
PS: kind of off topic but Argentina is not a third world country... ;)

Did it BB, didn't work either. :(

;) I know I was just joking L.
Well I have no clue what could be. my home computer has the latest version of windows 7 home premium and doesn't work there either. I don't think that one needs some update. so ...Im out of possibilities. It is very frustrating because Im loosing a lot of the fun!!
-
This is crazy.... now I see them 8} 8} 8} 8} 8} 8}
i dont understand... anyway... never mind.
Thanx for the advice all!

good to know you can now see all pics ;)

Well, I'm not seeing any pics posted from Image Shack either. I can't see any of the pics Jeremy posted here (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4252.15) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/luwerner/gif/hittinghead.gif).
-
oh...what could that be? are too way south? :lol:
-
Probably Image Shack is blocking South American IPs.
-
I've been googling to try and find some tips because I have no idea what causes it. Seems to be a fairly common problem across many forums on the web. :(
-
Probably Image Shack is blocking South American IPs.
But sometimes I see them for a while and then open another thread,,, and when I go back to the pics...they are gone!
-
That is so strange. ???

Still sounds like your IP is being blocked, at least temporarily. I don't think the problem is on our end, but at Image Shack, specially because we both are on the same backbone from the US (Florida -> São Paulo and then here and BsAs).
-
BTW, if I click on Jeremy's pics and go to IS, there I can see the pic (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/luwerner/gif/hmm-1.gif).
Can you see them there?

nop, not even there
-
That's IP blockage.
A few years ago (IIRC) Image Shack didn't allow their pictures to be seen here from Brazil. That's when I started using Photobucket and never looked back.

Yah you know how Playmobil will start a smiling riot and "they" shut the IP's down :lol:
I can never get Photobucket to work right :eh?:
-
Do you have trouble seeing photo bucket pics, or just using it yourself? All my pics are from photo bucket.
-
No, never had ANY issue with PB. In fact, after that debacle years ago IS worked fine, but now it's acting up. For me to see the pics here I have to click on the pic and see it on IS' site.
-

Well that defeats the purpose of using the site ???
-
Yep. If the pic is "embedded" here (and not as a thumbnail where I can click), I won't see it at all. For instance, the Kingdoms map, that WoT posted directly in the thread, I can't see, but Bill's firemen pics, that he linked with a thumbnail, I can see if I click on the pic and go to the site.
-
can you see this picture ?

i meant this question for Ras, actually, since he said he has troouble with photobucket.

I see the image of the frog in the icecube
-
That's so odd. I hope you can get it figured out. :-\

I've tried to use PhotoBucket too, bb, but I have too much trouble getting pictures transferred. Ras showed me how to use Imageshack years ago, & since some pictures are dropped occasionally with that hosting service, I've tried PB, but it's too frustrating. :hmm: I'm not computer savvy! :-[
-
I see the same as Gaston. On other sites where pics hosted at IS were posted, the image is the same, and other Brazilians are complaining too. All the pics from the Rio Exposition, that were hosted at IS, are not viewable anymore by any one down here.
-
Bill, I never used IS, so I don't know if it's easier or not, but PB is a breeze to use. You can even upload pics from your cel.
-
so is definetely a regional matter.
guys PB is extreamly easy! and has a lot of edition posibilities and effects!

I find that if you use their bulk uploader, it's much easier! Is it finding the pictures on your computer that is the problem? Because that can be pretty challenging until you get the sequence down. What you can do is, when you are in your picture software, looking at the picture you want to upload, right click the pic and go to "locate this image on my computer", and it will help show you the path to get there. I've actually taken out pen and paper and just wrote it down so I would remember where to find it. And when using the bulk uploader on PB, you can just check off all the photos you want uploaded, instead of having to find the right file again each time.
-
I may try to use it when I post my custom blonde sideburn pic's. I set up an account way back when, but got too frustrated to continue trying!
-

using photobucket. if people can not see image shack i would look for a place to host pictures that they could see. THere must be more than 2 free sites
-

same story here. I have never had pictures dropped but IS was easier , maybe PB has changed making it easier
-
Yeah, I get the idea they have changed. i'm new to it, but I understand that their bulk uploader is a new feature. it's much easier to use than uploading the photos one at a time, which is very tedious!
-
:wave:
I am on a Mac and find that Photobucket is quite user friendly. I would recommend placing all of the pictures you currently want to upload into a single folder - rather than trying to add them individually. On a Mac you just drag the pics out of iPhoto into a folder on the desktop and :clap: Viola! use the bulk uploader . PB. Easy peasy japaneesey! (no offense to our friends in the far east! 8-)] I think I've seen Shawshank Redemption one too many times.... but I digress.
One other note is that prior to uploading them to PhotoBucket I often use "Preview" to shrink them. Just open them there, adjust the quality slide bar to the far left and "save as" JPEG. (More often than not you can get the file size down below 1 MB.)
;D So far it seems to be the easiest way to do it on a Mac ;D

How's this? ???
I still can't see stuff with imageshack ... :-[
(Actually, there's a possibility that there's no way to solve this ...)
-
Look here: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7425.0 and you may find the answer. :)
-
Oh, thanks for the link, Beth. I'm updated now. :wave:
-
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT.
Actually I don't why we didn't think of it before :lol:
This afternoon Luis posted in my facebook wall a pic from imageshack that I couldn't see and still can't see here. In facebook I see it perfectly.
So it seemds that the problem is with the forum platform or server or whatever it is called, no expert here. Maybe it will fix when Sylvia do the upgrade she mentioned somewhere?? ??? ???
Does this give you some clue Sylvia of what could be happening?
-
But remember, when you contacted imageshack, that was what they said, was it could be the forum, so you had me email one of them to you, and you still couldn't see it.
-
If it was a forum-related problem, then wouldn't it be the case that none of the members would be able to see the photos hosted by Image Shack? :-\
I can't understand why it works for some people and not for others. :(
-
no idea, I was just guessing.
I think it is not a regional thing as we thought it was as I don't have any problem viewing it on facebook.
or maybe it is a combination of forum problem-location thing?
??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
it's a conspiration against you, Gastón ;D
jk, it is indeed very odd ???
-
Like your new avatar pic, Luis!
-
now that i remember Gastón - when i posted my Valentine's pictures/cards they all were hosted on imageshack and you could actually see them ???
Like your new avatar pic, Luis!
thanks, Bonnie! :)

yes but that was before the problem. from certain point on Luciano and I stopped being able to see them. but before that we didn't have any problem.
