Broken Image Links

[a Bill]

I'm still getting a bunch of broken image links. This first started happening when you had that problem a week or so ago (I'm lousy with dates :) probably occured several months ago and I still think it was only a week or so :))

These images are displayed across the top of my screen with only the 'user cp' button showing, no other buttons and everything above those buttons isn't displaying. The rest of the screen is fine.

I'm using Mozilla Firebird 0.7 on a Win2k Pro box. It also had the same problem with Mozilla 1.3.1 on the same box but Windows Exploder 5.00.3700.1000 worked fine.

Both Mozillas allow cookies only from the originating website and allow all images. I'm not sure what Exploder does but I rarely use it anyway since I just use it to check website display once in a blue moon.

Hit refresh. if still missing let me know what theme you are using and I will look into it but no images are missing for me

You won't find anyone more refreshing than me :) Err, uh, yup, I refresh often. For the Phoenix browser I use the most it is the Pinball 0.7.5 theme while for Mozilla it is the default theme. I'm not much for flashy stuff, Windows is already too much of a problem without adding additional potential problems.

OK, I tried it on my laptop running Redhat Linux using the Mozilla 1.2.1 browser and it comes up the exact same way. I don't have any remote servers available right now to try it on. My firewall is wide open to internal boxes so there is no problem there.

I happened to have a fresh install of Solaris 9 on an Ultra 5. I hadn't removed Netscape yet so I tried using it. Just going to the default xtremepccentral site it locked up Netscape hard and forced a 100% CPU load :)

You do all this stuff on Windows, don't you? Didn't you know that MS doesn't follow accepted standards? :D Not that Netscape follows standards all that well either ;) j/k

The only thing I found while looking at the source was the slashes in the wrong direction on the src paths.

We'll ignore spelling :) but this is all I found that *might* be related since the world I'm from uses absolute paths. I don't know diddly about software or HTML so I could be looking in the wrong place.

Very odd, i see you use Emerge, and i use that myself too, and the slashes are right for me...

[Mntsnow]

I'm running this site off a custom *nix server and I test with IE, Opera and Mozilla (I dont use Firebird). and the images are showing up fine for me....

*edit* I have double checked the coding and the coding is exactly the same for all of the images so why you are seeing a flipped slash is beyond me.

You may have deleted your cache outside from the browser.
Toggle the grafics reload settings and close and restart the browser and reload the pages after each toggle. Delete your cache only via settings.

Well, I did just about everything except format the HDD and it's still the same. Weird. When I viewed the source in IE it showed the same as I posted above, wrong slash. I guess IE doesn't care because it displays the images.

If it's just me then it doesn't matter because I don't look at the pictures anyway :) Sorry to bother you.

[Mntsnow]

No problem...cause I dont like broken things either.


Try now as I did find in a template some incorrect coding of the theme which I have changed around so hopefully that will fix the images for you. Everything still seems good to go for the browsers that I use so let me know if that fixes it for firebird :)

[a Bill]

It fixed it. Both Firebird and Mozilla are now displaying properly. All the slashes are correct now...
