[Problem-Help Desk] Firefox Won't Display Pics in Threads

[LeftyTom]

For example, Scott's thread about cutting itty -bitty logs. The "attached" panel appears empty, but I know there are two pics there. These pics can be viewed w/Netscape 9 or IE.

version: Firefox 2.0.0.11

Edit: I took out error message which was not related to the pic viewing problem.

Did this just start to happen?

I see 'em fine in 2.0.0.12. :eusa_thin

 

[LeftyTom]

Steve, I just downloaded Firefox earlier this week. Netscape has been put out to pasture by AOL, so I tried Firefox, since I heard good stuff about Mozilla.

Yes, I did notice this problem as soon as I visited NCWW. Weird, since I can view all the other pics on here, just not ones attached to a thread.

I'm seeing them fine too in Firefox. Please give an example of a post where you can't see the pictures.

 

[LeftyTom]

Monty, here are two examples:

and

I can see the pic in this thread:

Tom, the difference is that the pictures you can't see are those that been uploaded as attachmnets. The ones you can see are those that are being referenced by URL.

This was reported once before, eith, I think, Firefox. I don't remember what the fix was, but I'll look and see what thew answer was.

 

[SteveColes]

This is what I was thinking about, but the situation is reversed. I notice that Gator didn't post any answer.:crybaby2:

 

[WoodWrangler]

Did you get this resolved? I'm using FireFox and don't have any problem with the links above. However, like Steve, I remember this from a couple years ago (in fact, I think I had the issue)

If it is still happening, do you get the "attached thumbnails" section showing?

 

[LeftyTom]

Jeremy, yes, teh "Attached Thumbnail" section appears , and I see the outline of the box that contains the pics.

Jeremy, yes, teh "Attached Thumbnail" section appears , and I see the outline of the box that contains the pics.

My recommendation based on what I've read:
- Install CCleaner (aka CrapCleaner)
- Run CCleaner (cleans out recycle bin and other unnecessary files. It can by run THE FIRST TIME by right-clicking on the Recycle Bin icon and opening CCleaner, then running it)
- Reboot the computer
- Try again

ALSO ... check your browser settings and NCWW settings (per the thread notes)

Also, found this old thread with the same issue:

[Monty]

Good advice there Jeremy. Please let us know if you figure out the fix, Tom.

 

[LeftyTom]

I have not fixed the bug yet, but I can view the 2nd attached thumbnail window (but no the first) in http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13103

(posted FEB25).

Under TOOLS, OPTIONS, FILE TYPE, there is nothing about JPG files. I can view other jpg files, so it must be lumped with another file type.

I ran the CrapCleaner, but no help.
