Hi Brian - Some of this sites areas are for members only, so that could be part of your problem. The other part might be when people host photos HERE ( you can upload them to a gallery ). If you aren't logged in, you probably can't see them.

That seems the opposite of what it should be Brian. The only problem I have ever known with photos is what turtlex said and if your job actually blocks the site it is hosted on (photobucket)Originally Posted by east-tennessee
Photos uploaded to the site (Gallery) should always be viewable
The first part of your post is true. We prefer that instead of trying to use the "upload attachment" feature at the bottom of the posts you "host" your pics in the gallery or off site. It saves on database space for the forum.
If you can give me a specific example of a pic you can't see, I might be able to help out more.

Yes the site gallery is always viewable.
It's when I'm logged in and reading posts I cannot see uploaded photos, what I see is the link to click on to open a new window with the photo,,,such as imageshack, photo bucket, farm 5 ect....an example is the last page of Your new pride and joy in calvins corner..when I'm logged in all I see is links to open to look at the photos.
When I log out and view as a guest I can see the photos...strange..
This is the same on both my home and work computer..
Thanks Brian
What browser (and version) are you using?
If you have software that blocks 'malicious' sites, it could be inadvertently blocking content from this site.
both computers use internet explorer 8.
windows xp operating system.
it's just strange that eveything looks fine on the site untill i log-in.
no big deal, i usually view the site not logged in untill i want to post a reply anyway.
thanks brian
POST MORE
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I'll check your group Brian to make sure you are in the same one with the rest of the members but it does sound like it might be local somehow. We'll keep working on it.

Hi,
I didn't really know where to ask this and if anything can be done, but I was wondering if there is a way to avoid the dozens of notices that I have to "dismiss" manually (and individually)? They show up on every page, between the banner and the rest of the forum, and, quite frankly, are a bit annoying. :/ Hate to say that, being new and all, but I know I'd enjoy my time here a lot more if there was a way to, at the very least, dismiss them all at once instead of one at a time, waiting for the page to reload in between.
Thanks!
the easiest way to get rid of the notices is to vote in the polls they indicate
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, if you don't wish to dismiss them manually voting is your only other option I know of.
If you're quick enough, you can hit dismiss on several of them at once. They don't always all "take," but usually I can dismiss at least three or four at a go, which cuts down on the wait time.
There is actually a reason it is set up the way it is. The notices are purposely "in your face" because we really want people to vote. It is just as easy to click the link and vote as it is to dismiss.Hi,

We hold a complex poll to see which one of Kings books is the best once a year and we like to get as many votes as possible.
If a person absolutely positively does not want to vote, they can dismiss but I really wish they would use the link to vote.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
why should anyone prefer dismissing to voting anyway? voting is fun, while dismissing is a drudge
and, Mo-linoDeViento - where you vote you can also post, you know, and read what other people/animals have posted, and this way integrate into the community the quickest and easiest way possible

Yeah, it's only for a couple months, and then they'll go away again. But, like bears said, voting is MUCH more fun than dismissing them.

If it's only once a year, I think I can deal with it. It's a bit of a nuisance now because of a slow internet connection, but we should be getting that fixed in a few weeks. With a slow connection, it's more time consuming to vote on all of them, and less time consuming (though still very much so) to just hit dismiss...a dozen times...every day.
But you raise a very good point about getting involved in the site that way, so I'll be voting on a few more now...
Thanks! (Sorry if I sound like I'm whining, by the way.)
No worries! We know the notices can be a bit of a drag for people who aren't voting, but have no other way of reminding people to vote.
By the way, the notices should only have to be dismissed once per notice. So while you may see a lot of notices up at once (my fault, as I usually create all fifteen notices on one day instead of doing five per day like I should), once you dismiss each one they should go away for good.
Welcome to the site, Mo-linoDeViento!

I've noticed today that I cannot put in any "smilies" into my posts. When I click the [More] button for the smilies, I get a refreshed page of the one I'm on, but no separate window for the smilies. I also cannot double-click a thread to indicate that I've read it. Just nothing happens.
John
Hmmm...that is interesting. I have done a few tests and didn't run into a problem.
Do you use the quick reply box or click "Reply"? If the quick reply, do you see smiliey choices lining the bottom of the box?
Could you post a screen shot of what you are seeing maybe?
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
No need for a screen shot--I just don't get any response whatsoever. The listings on both the quick reply screen on the bottom and the regular reply on the right side are both there. When I click on one of the smilies, the cursor disappears. I don't know if that means anything or not.
John
I just rebooted my browser and the problem went away.
John
Yay! That is the best problem I have had all year John.

Thought this might be worth noting:
Yesterday, the link in my favs list stopped working. It took me to some kinda "search" thing but wasn't google or anything familiar. It happened to Dolso as well. We both went to the SKcollector site and got on through his link. Then I deleted the old one and replaced with a new "Add to Favorites" after clicking thru the Collectors link. Evrything went peachy after that.
Then today, I got a email notice of a posting in a subscribed thread and the post was not there!!
I don't know if these things are indicative of bigger problems or worth looking into, but I thought I would just pass them on to TPTB to ascertain their relevance.

I keep getting reports of people that cannot access the site so they will not benefit from this but we did have a problem with the company that controls the registration for our domain name. The site has about 3 different "services" that need to be paid every year and I missed the email on this one.
They deactivated the domain. Site was taken off line and replaced by a search engine/advertisement page.
It is all fine now and I can access the site with all major browsers so I'm not sure where to go with the people that can't get on. I am going to keep researching it of course.
If anyone that can access the site has someone that cannot asking them about it, please have them contact me at: mattrayne@thedarktower.org
Thanks everyone.

Cool Beans, Matt. We figured it out, but I'll do what I can, when I can.
