Thought it was just me :hillbilly:

Woody, I'm using IE 8.0, Win XP Pro. Things seemed to be fine until a couple weeks ago. I just started using a new monitor and thought maybe somehow that was causing it (not sure how it would but it seemed to be the only thing different).

Anyway, photos in this thread load fine:

https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/360475-anyone-know-good-80-shop-ne-dallas-wrecked-my-lx.html

But some of the photos in this thread don't (only get like the top 1/8th of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pictures. The first and last photo load fine though):

Here is another example:

https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-...axle-service-progress-got-some-questions.html

I actually mention in post #65 about only being able to see the top part of the pics back on 1/29. IIRC before that everything was working fine. Photos I loaded in that thread show up fine. There doesn't seem to be a pattern either to what shows and what doesn't (i.e. some photos uploaded to MUD appear and some don't, and the same seems to hold true to photos hosted elsewhere).

FWIW, photos seem to load fine at work...At work I use IE 7.0 (IIRC) and Win XP Pro. Hopefully it is something simple...I'd like to see the pictures again :)
 
limited browsers installed on my laptop, but it works fine with XP and Firefox...will dig further when I get home later in the week...
 
Same issue here: photos only partially loading. Win XP Pro and IE 8. Thought it was my old beater computer but the same thing happens on another computer in the house running the same software. Hitting "refresh" doesn't help either.

Thanks!
Nick
 
IE 8 has some oddities...

I've been reading up...vB should have a 'new' maintenance release soon, will fix a handful of oddities...hopefully this one too...
 
Thanks for the update Woody!

Leave it to Microsoft to add in the "oddities" :)
 
'all' uploaded attachments in the forum are limited...file size, or dimensions?

outside links/attachments are not limited....
 
Oh Brian, I have stopped wondering about fixing things that 'work' a long time ago.... :lol:

Poser,

I just clicked your links and some of the images are partially loading for me this evening. I've seen this problem on and off for weeks. Sometimes it's worse than others.

Windows XP SP3
IE 8 8.0.6001.18702
Time Warner Cable Broadband.
Linksys WRT54G wireless router
Microsoft Security Essientials

Tried it in Firefox (v3.6) and they load.
Tried it in Chrome (v4.0.249.89 (38071)) and they load.
Back to IE, and they're still broken (refresh/F5).
 
Woody,

Not sure if this will help but I saved the pics from the threads Poser linked to as I see them to show you. I noticed something while saving the pics....

All of the pics that only partially load appear to be bitmap (.bmp) files while all of the pics that fully load appear to be JPEGs (.jpg or .jpeg). All appear to be pictures that were uploaded to IH8MUD. Odd, because I don't see .bmp files as a choice of file fomat for uploading :confused: in MUD. Looking at the pics it almost appears that only the part of the picture that doesn't exceed the max file size for a .jpg pic is what gets loaded :hhmm:

I converted the bitmap pics to jpegs 'cuz MUD won't let me upload bitmap pics ;p - To get them all in this thread I uploaded them to Photobucket (hope that is ok for this purpose) in the order from the threads as I see them - I put the original file size and format of the pic in the description for each.

Win XP Pro SP3, IE 8.0.6001.18702, Linksys WUSB54G router, Norton 360 (2009 v3.8.0.41) for firewall and filtering

As mentioned before, this started recently (within the last 1-2 months) and AFAIK nothing on my end has changed other than any number of Microsoft updates :rolleyes:
