I can't see any pics attached to messages in Internet Explore :bad-words: , only in Firefox. No more playing for you :tormie: till this is fixed!! ----------------------------------- Nik Wednesday, 18 June 2008, 01:21 PM Re: No Pics In IE ?? ----------------------------------- Um, even behind a paranoid fire-wall, my IE6 still shows those piccies on BBB & WW/C-D threads... But, after everything loads on page, there is often a 5~~10 sec pause while this underpowered Browser_PC gathers its wits... ----------------------------------- Tormie Wednesday, 18 June 2008, 04:58 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- Hi Posfan, I just checked the pages with internet explorer and all looks fine, btw if an user is not logged in the attachments don't show, so what I did is to clear the cache of the site and clear also the session table (so everybody has to login again and leahman will email me because he doesn't remember his password :roll: ). In the process I also noticed a couple of icons missing from the pages :dontknow: and I fixed it. I think that the problem is that you log out in internet explorer, if the pictures are not showing at all, you're logged out, if there is a big X instead of the picture, it's another kind of problem, you should tell me what you see (no pics or a big X). If you see no pics and no red X you should delete the cookies related to the site, you find them in the options page of the browser, scroll the list of the cookies till you see "posetteoforever.com" and delete them, close the browser, open it again and log in, all should be fine :dance: . There is a little pause when a page is loaded because the site connects to a server that checks the IP, if the IP belongs to a spammer it is redirected to a special page... Connecting to the site with different browsers but from the same IP address can also give login-logout problems because it can be interpreted like an attack by our drones :uuh: :yoyo: ----------------------------------- posfan Wednesday, 18 June 2008, 09:13 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- @ Nik though my router firewall is picky I normally don't have such trouble neither with PF nor with other sites and since I'm on DSL there's no seconds pause @ Tormie it showed nothing, no red X nor the attachment bar. Already cleared the cookies (should be more precise next time) and dito - nothing. tried that over some days before I posted this topic. However, now they're are showing up again, so this is fixed. :thumb: You're allowed to play :tormie: again!! :) Thankies!! :hug2: :hug2: Another thing I noticed is, that PF sometimes frozes Internet Explorer so I need to do a reset Pc. never had that happened in Firefox though :mmmh: ----------------------------------- Tormie Wednesday, 18 June 2008, 09:23 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- There is a quick solution :ninja: ... Use Firefox :D !! BTW, its strange, PF is no so powerful :redface: it would be useful to know if the PC freezes before, during or at the end of the page loading... ----------------------------------- tda42 Wednesday, 18 June 2008, 11:39 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- A rough day at PF. :ninja: :redface: :sorry: ----------------------------------- posfan Thursday, 19 June 2008, 09:50 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- [quote user="Tormie" post="39876"]There is a quick solution :ninja: ...

I use 2 or more myself: to test the site and I permit the cookies installation only by known sites with firefox, while in internet explorer I take all and periodically I empty all the data, cookies, cache, history etc. ----------------------------------- Posy Thursday, 19 June 2008, 10:53 PM ----------------------------------- I heard other people use 2 or more him or herself to test the site and he or she permit the cookies installation only by known sites with firefox while in internet explorer he or she take all and periodically he or she empty all the data cookies cache history etc too. ----------------------------------- Tormie Thursday, 19 June 2008, 10:54 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- :roll: ... :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: ----------------------------------- tda42 Thursday, 19 June 2008, 11:13 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- Oh I agree on taste as far as browsers are concern but when you can use Firefox and not get hit by Virus and for most spyware thanks to some free software how can you go wrong. Had Windows 98 second edition with Firefox 2. Spybot and haven't had a virus for 2 years. Can't beat that now can you. :D Keep your Windows 98 folks. When you get tired of the Vesta crap and they (hackers and viruses) have forgot about the 98 OS can bring it back on line and run it like Linux. :ninja: ----------------------------------- Nik Friday, 20 June 2008, 12:23 AM CAD_PC_1 ----------------------------------- Um, my old CAD_PC_1 is Win'98(2). But, new versions of those CAD programs do not work on '98, few of my CAD programs work on XP, less of them work on Vista. To add insult to injury, although my XP CAD_PC_2 has ~ 3 Gb RAM, program bloat means proportionately less workspace per '32bit' program compared to the old 1Gb '98 system. To recover headroom, I must trade up to expensive '64' bit versions. Now the killer: Rather than upgrade my *favourite* CAD program to '64bit', the makers dumped the old core-code and licensed a cut-down version of another package. That has a completely different look+feel, cannot use my custom models, cannot (yet) read earlier versions' files... D'uh... And, sorry, Tormie, I cannot get my router working. But, I'm *sure* I'm doing something stupid: If I keep reading modem and router PDF manuals, also 'Home Networking For Dummies' and 'Wireless Networking For Dummies', the truth may dawn... ----------------------------------- Tormie Friday, 20 June 2008, 08:53 AM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- @ Kenny, modern I.E. is honestly secure too, and I'm not fond of Bill Gates. You can get viruses on PC, today, using a browser, only clicking something that you should not click, a lot of people ( sometimes I fix these things too) think that the PC is clean when it's populated by a large community of them, mostly spywares. I share my main email addresses only with my friends and I receive every day tons of spam even if I sent my email only to know persons, this spam is in every language (a lot of them are about how to enlarge my penis :redface: or how to meet foreign girls :sorry: ). It's because some of my friends has an email spyware and send their address book to spammers :roll: ... And they obvioulsy don't even know... @ Nik, I can help you for sure, I set up a lot of router, just say me the model that you bought, I'll happy to give you a helping hand (you can even send me the informations by PM if you prefer) :thumb: ----------------------------------- tda42 Friday, 20 June 2008, 11:34 AM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- This is just my taste as well as a little joking on the side. But I don't trust IE and that is my taste. If you think it is good then great. But I will stay with what I have. The rule: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :redface: So I don't fix a good thing with me. So PosFan I hope you get your problem fixed. :thumb: ----------------------------------- posfan Saturday, 21 June 2008, 08:58 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- [quote user="Tormie" post="39879"]:mmmh: ... well, only with the main page or in the other pages too ?

Now I only use the routers hardware firewall. I can beat it - 3 1/2 years without any problems and that with IE. One can avoid virus simply by not clicking on everything if one uses his brain. Unfortunatly most users don't use their brain. ----------------------------------- posfan Saturday, 21 June 2008, 09:29 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- [quote user="tda42" post="39887"]This is just my taste as well as a little joking on the side.

[/quote] And I second your rule: never change a winning team or a working pc It's not really a problem. I mean i still can use FF if IE strikes with PF. But since it only happens with PF it may be something in Tormie's configuration. and @ Tormie I can't remember exactly when this started, but I know that I don't have this problem from the beginning. so maybe it was the last PHP change or the one before when this problem occured for the first time. Probably the one before since I had that happen when I still was on modem use (but I thought it was because I had a slow connection. Since I'm on DSL for some time now and it still happens... :mmmh: ) ----------------------------------- tda42 Saturday, 21 June 2008, 09:36 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- Posfan wrote: I can't remember exactly when this started, but I know that I don't have this problem from the beginning. so maybe it was the last PHP change or the one before when this problem occured for the first time.

She might be on to something Davide. It is funny how all of a sudden a change has been made. :mmmh: ----------------------------------- Tormie Saturday, 21 June 2008, 10:49 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- Well, in the last period we have been attacked a couple of times by hackers, one time successfully. And we were also spotted by comment spammers, comment spammers tries to every site, with automatic programs in order to post the links to the sites that pay them (things like porn, viagra, how to enlarge my penis :redface: etc... ). In big sites, like rosity for example, they pay a bunch of people for doing nothing else but finding the messages and delete them. I installed some software that does it automatically, and the staff can see that no one spam message has appeared here in months, even if I made the registration process very simple in comparison of what it was in the past. Basically, a comment spammer have to register to the site manually(here) with their real IP address to post something, and they are still blocked if they write something wrong (new users are under the eyes of another drone, if they write something like "sex" or "viagra" for example, they are blocked since my intervention). We've also a code that blocks the referrer links from renderosity, because the staff there took side with the pornguy dphoadley when he continuously spread dirt on Posetteforever: I wrote some replies and I was banned from Karen James (an admin that is in the friends' list of the pornguy). For that reason links coming from renderosity goes to a special page :D . These codes makes the site a little slower, just a little, because when you connect , they check your internet connection to the site, and we're on a cheap hosting company (godaddy) on a computer that is shared with other sites, so sometimes this computer get busy with other application that are resources hungry and we become "slow" :roll: ... I could go to a faster hosting company but it would cost me a lot of money and I prefer to keep Posetteforever without advertising (but maybe sooner or later I'll win Lotto or a lottery :wink: ). I mean, this is all I can do with my bus driver's wages :oops: I think that one of these codes interferes with your (old) IE6. In this two days I checked and removed a piece of software, but I can't do else or we'll come back to hackers and comment spammers era :dontknow: . We have to keep this software because I don't have money to pay people for keeping an eye opened on the site 24h deleting spam, the staff here is all on volunteer base so I can ask nothing. BTW all seems to work fine but your configuration, what I can suggest you is to upgrade a little your system, I don't know if IE7 is available for windows98 but your system is a little "old" :mmmh: . At the moment I don't have enough data to solve the problem :sorry: ----------------------------------- tda42 Saturday, 21 June 2008, 11:07 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- Davide Wrote: I don't know if IE7 is available for windows98 but your system is a little "old" Nope can't be that. Even I am on Windows 98 SE when I am on PF or the net. But I am using Firefox. You might want to convert back to IE6 or 5.5 to help you out. I used 5.5 and it seemed to do ok for browsing. I hope this helps as well. :thumb: ----------------------------------- Tormie Saturday, 21 June 2008, 11:08 PM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- P.S.

I like the little PC better for net. We pay way to much for expensive PC to be put out on the net for garbage to be put on them. Just think of all the Poser software and things you have on a PC with 3 hard drives and then a virus hits it knocking it out and days end to bring back up. My PC on the net how ever has an 8 gig hard drive. Then I have an eithernet with a cable going to the bigger PCs to just transfer what I had from the net. Alot easier to format a hard drive of 8 gigs than 3x350 gig hard drives. Talking about a nightmare. :redface: ----------------------------------- Tormie Saturday, 28 June 2008, 01:39 AM Re: No Pics In IE ----------------------------------- Ok Kenny :) . The problem is that with older version of the O.S. or the browser you couldn't even "see" some features of the sites you're visiting. If you use the "little" PC only to surf the net a good solution is to install Linux on it :D ... I had to format the main HD after some years because the report from "Partition Magic" was "Partition Damaged". Even if I kept the PC clean from viruses, it may be something to to a virus, I was not able to fix it... It was not even in the MBR, so I transferred the data on a spare HD and made a clean install...
