hello sorry for lack of information and i would just like to point out i was not demanding and answer i was asking a question and just tried it to boost it back to the top i am very sorry for doing this. i have no idea what kind of information you would need. And if i knew that i probably would have sorted it with out asking.
Title: Re: pictures
Post by: Jimbob on 08 October 2009, 19:32:29
ok, lets start of with

1. what pictures cant you see?
2. are you running windows Xp / vista etc?
3. using internet exporer?  or firefox etc?

do a reboot, and power off at the wall of computer and all assoicated bits, and try again....

hello jim bob i have just got home from work was manic and didnt have time to properly explain myself earlier but at work it would not display any picture on the forum at all its on xp and i was using explorer. i did rebot it but it didnt do anything. thanks rik
Title: Re: pictures
Post by: Jimbob on 08 October 2009, 19:58:23
was it just this forum affected?

was it avatars you couldnt see?

what about the oof logo at the top of the page?

if you click on any of the maintainance guides, can you see pictures there?

what about other websites, eg bbc.co.uk?

are you on a company network, they may have blocked photobucket, there by removing lots of pictures...

Best you call your works IT department, they tend to get the hump when users start thinking they can fix things themselves.

it honestly doesnt bother me pal after boxing for 10 years and playing rugby for 13 the old brain has took a few knocks and is not to technical but common courtesy wouldnt go a miss. and i must say i may have not put alot of information down but if it bothers you that much go back to the main screen and ignore my post. i must say i am quite dissapointed as i visit this web quite alot and feel very let down by some people on here i may not post alot but i read alot and if i dont like something i just move on.
Title: Re: pictures
Post by: tunnie on 08 October 2009, 21:25:31
not really, come on its basic information.

"my screen is not displaying any picture any ideas?" is a bit pathetic, and then following it up 30 mins later. Wondering why there was no answer  >:(

Post by: albitz on 08 October 2009, 21:30:22
The bloke didnt demand anything Tunnie,he simply requested help,and as often seems to be the case you ripped into him.I have it on good authority Tunnie that in real life you are a nice lad but tbh im sorry to say it but on the forum you very often come across as rude spoilt and obnoxious.
Title: Re: pictures
Post by: rikki_essex on 08 October 2009, 21:31:17
sorry mate i have explained all ready why it was so brief and apologised. I dont know what your problem is but move on because im not going to argue with you. :y

Today at 18:08:57 - my screen is not displaying any picture any ideas?

Today at 18:39:33 - any one????

31 Minutes... Can understand if it was a day or something, not half an hour!

I am not bothered, but everyone has their right to an opinion. If you all want to live in non emotion society, i suggest you make an Equilibrium society, as i am watching it now on Film4. No emotions there  ;D

Title: Re: pictures
Post by: albitz on 08 October 2009, 21:42:46
My point proved ,he asked if anyone could help.You accused him of demanding help - he didnt.
You used words like  - pathetic,used angry smileys etc,A bad attitude from start to finish imo.
When you first started asking questions about learning to ride a bike/taking your test/which bike to buy etc,it was a subject you knew absolutely nothing about.It would have been very easy to mock what you said and reply with condescending scornful answers but a lot of people on here with experience with bikes showed you a lot of patience and tried to give you the benifit of thier experience.Dont see why you cant adopt the same attitude with regards to your area of expertise. ;)

So now we've established it is a works computer running XP and IE, the next question is.....

Did it ever work?
If not, talk to your IT Department

If it did once work and has since stopped, talk to your IT Department.

Title: Re: pictures
Post by: TheBoy on 08 October 2009, 22:00:11
Is this resolved?

Seems to be a lack of info still.

rikkieessex, if its still a problem, can you try to explain more exactly what is happening, and if it happens on more than 1 PC?  Is it just this site? Is it all the pictures, or just the pictures posted?  What about the forum logo at the top?

Cheers

Exactly.

People take the piss out of me for buying a beemer, and for having a 4 pot engine.

The difference is, i can take it, and I don't kick up a fuss and start complaining about the nature of the forum and such.

End of the day i make my own decisions.

Not really, i said

1) its like getting blood from a stone - If you find that offensive then you need help

2) The pathetic reference, is valid in my opinion.

2 reasons can be..

your IT department probably made some arrangements in websense which filters pictures

or your explorer is an old version (which happened me in the past when OOF change the software version)..

So its only pictures posted by members - all forum related picures (logos, buttons, most of the avatars etc) are OK.  Sounds like to have an issue with photobucket and similar sites.

Many companies block access to such sites, as deemed to be inappropriate for work.

Is it only at work, or same issue at home as well?

Most big companies now use 'smart' logging systems, they record what you look at and then ban sides you most frequently use. So if you browse a lot of forums (not just oof), which commonly display photos from say photobucket , they will get blocked.

OK, I think thats about confirmed what Tunnie - in his own roundabout way (::)) - and others have said.

Probably not worth labouring the point at work, as:

a) its probably a bought in filter, so out of their hands
b) you're supposed to be working ;D

Ours does that, it also gives different permissions for exploring the internet. They also monitor you use and you can get into trouble or even sacked for misuse. I rarely oof at work,  I am allowed if a lunch break or after hours, most of my time on the Internet at work, which is really very little is for information / research clearly work related so no questions asked.
