OwinThomas Posted March 3, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm using an iPad to browse the forum and whenever I go into a post with an image all I se is a blue square with a question mark in it. Just wondering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted March 3, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2012 It might be caused by some bandwidth saving settings of your iPad. OTOH, the more likely culprit is your ISP who might be filtering out all images in order to save bandwidth. It has been discussed several times in this forum. Which is your provider?

india Posted March 4, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 4, 2012 I have the same blue Question mark . I am using my iPhone to browse the LUF. Not sure what it can be. Warm regards David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted March 4, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2012 Could be a Mac thing then, I get it occasionally with the iPad, and have just seen it for example on a few images on e bay. Not seeing these images saved me some money of course, so I'm not complaining. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope not an ISP thing, I can see the same images posted on another forum. How do I know they're the same images? Because it's only started to happen in the last few days, it was fine on Friday March 2nd, I remember seeing this post by Bill Allsopp and the images were present, now they just appear as little blue boxes with question marks in them. I have the same blue Question mark . I am using my iPhone to browse the LUF.Not sure what it can be. Warm regards David OK thanks for this seems it's not just me then. Did it just start in last couple of days for you? Never thought of looking on my iPhone, as i don't browse with it much,but it happens to that as well. Could it be something to do with the site? Something has maybe changed in the last 2 days? I don't have this problem with other sites I browse. Could be a Mac thing then, I get it occasionally with the iPad, and have just seen it for example on a few images on e bay. Not seeing these images saved me some money of course, so I'm not complaining.Gary How can it be a Mac thing? Other sites are fine, it has to be something with this site, which a shame because I enjoy looking at the images on this site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted March 4, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 4, 2012 No problems at all viewing images with my iPhone 4S, so I doubt its a Mac thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted March 4, 2012 Share #7 Posted March 4, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the same issue when I browse the forum via a dongle, but photos show fine on my iPhone. The dongle worked fine to start with then suddenly one day I had the blue square of doom! I also thought it must be some kind of change to the forum to cause it...

tobey bilek Posted March 4, 2012 Share #8 Posted March 4, 2012 I see it on Mac all the time, always have. Possible causes format the forum does not recognize image too many GB. You have to use size for web function to be sure it is not too large when posting. Image size read out seems not to work well enough. read instructions again image has been taken down host server is down image is marked for private viewing only on host server probably more I can not think of.

I can see any of these being a problem if it was just one or two images, but ALL images on this site? I don't think so, especially as it has only happened in the last couple of days.
