chaz Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I was reviewing my topic about my layout and saw that some of my posted pictures had disappeared and been replaced by links back to PhotoBucket. Have I done something wrong or is this the fault of the recent software problems? This page is where the trouble starts.... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/58132-dock-green/page-4 Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I had the same issue with my Christmas Card which is hosted on Photobucket. I edited my post and reliaded the link and it appeared again. I think the issue may be with Photobucket as I could not delete any of my photos earlier today.

Gravy Train Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hi there, it appears I have also lost all my photos in my portfolio and not sure if it is something tempoary or not. cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted December 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2012 I've noticed this in the blog section also. It would appear the img tags are not working properly at the moment as external images show up on the blog index page, but not in the individual blog posts. Images uploaded to the site are working normally though. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Found that only about seven or eight posted snaps were affected so I spent a few minutes re-posting them. I hope it doesn't happen too often! Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted December 26, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 26, 2012 Most of my images have lost their tags which has resulted in the URL being displayed rather than the actual image. The exceptions are some (but apparently not all) of those which I host on RMweb. I cannot reasonably host everything here as the same images are often posted to two or three sites and some exceed the 2mb file size limit here anyway. I therefore use Photobucket as my commercial image host. With something approaching 4500 posts I simply cannot go back and edit everything to restore the images; to do so in my layout thread alone would take weeks and several reference posts including my extensive photo-reference topics from the railways of north Cornwall are now entirely devoid of the images which are the sole reason those topics exist. I have tried the suggested method to "Reset Safari" which has not rectified the problem here but has caused moderate inconvenience in terms of having to the revisit every page and site I use to re-enter my passwords. I don't have an alternative browser available and don't intend to purchase one simply to visit a single site. Not very happy ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't need to do anything to fix the images that are not showing properly. When Andy has recovered from his Christmas I'm sure he'll be banging heads together at the shower posing as software providers and eventually it will all be fixed without us needing to do anything. The problem is in their code, not something we can do anything about. I agree the browser reset could be a bit of a pain if you had to reset everything, but that was really to fix other problems. As to purchasing browsers, no one does as all the common ones are free but if you're generally happy with Safari then there's no reason why you should need to install a different one. It's just that some folk prefer to use a different browser for one reason or other. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Photobucket appears to be working however not fully as there appears to no pagination at present with all my photos being loaded into one very long page! XF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 just had a look through my posts and i've got the same problem, i use photobucket and am a pro user, all the pics are now just non clickable links, if i go to edit post but dont change anything then the links return as a clickable links instead of images. hopefully its a simple fix as, like others i can't go through all my posts and edit them! photobucket is working fine for me otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 Even curioser (if that's a word). Just looked at my main layout link: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/50822-aylesbury-junction/ Some pics are showing, then it changes to non-clickable links, and then back to showing pics. All the originals are mine on Photobucket, and AFAIK I've used the some procedure all through. Edit: left out the non in non-clickable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 same here actually, noticed it looking again at a certain thread, there is 1 pic showing normally, the rest are as described above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted December 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 When Andy has recovered from his Christmas I'm sure he'll be banging heads together at the shower posing as software providers As far as I understand, Andy acted on this issue on the night of the software update just before christmas. So for any delays that may occur we can only blame the software providers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted December 27, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 27, 2012 Just a quick notice that I seem to be having the same problem with previously posted images not showing any longer. Likewise, it would seem the "media" tags for embedding Youtube videos no longer work either. Haven't had any other issues with signing in or even having to reset my browser, though.

Andy Y Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 This should now be resolved, it was necessary to install a patch for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2012 d'oh! the posts i went into and edited as i described above in the class 67 thread (which resulted in clickable links appearing) are stuck with the links but the ones i didn't edit have the pics back also other people replies quoting my edited posts that have links are showing the full picture other than my meddling messing it up its working fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted December 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2012 This should now be resolved, it was necessary to install a patch for it. First of all many thanks for this Andy - the old entries have now been fixed. I hate to say this, but there's still a snag with new blog entries that have photos stored elsewhere: Photos are not showing on the main page for the blogs, or on the main page for the individual blogs. Perhaps the patch also needs to be installed for these overview pages, somehow? (Edit: Pics uploaded directly to new blog entries also now do not show for me on the overview pages).

chaz Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 As I started this topic I thought I would add a comment. I want to add my thanks to those of others, Andy's efforts seem to have sorted the problem. Previously posted photos now appear as they should and new postings work properly too. Excellent!
