This is a mirror of the Warbird's Forum website. When I look at it,
there are no images--only a Bill Gatesian red X where the image should
be. When the hosting company looks at the page, the images are there.
I went to the library and used one of the terminals there--no joy! But
perhaps the library and I are both using the same service provider.

So what do you see? Images or red X's?

Very odd.

I get the red x problem initially, but I can make the pictures appear with
some work.**I*right*click*on*the*picture's*space,*show* its*properties,*and
copy the full address of the picture to the browser address bar (e.g.,
http://65.108.100.215/forumbanner2.jpg ).**That*takes*me*to*the*picture*
on
a blank page all by itself.**If*I*then*go*back*to*the*whole*page,*the
picture is visible in its proper place.**That's*using*IE6*and*coming*in
via Earthlink.

Exactly the same here with Mozilla 1.6 via an ISP in Germany.


Damifino what's up. Some sort of cache/address problem, it looks like.

The webserver at 65.108.100.165 seems to have trouble with relative local
image URLs, like the "plain" filenames (i.e. without directory path and/or
"http://..." prefix) of the images. When you pass the full URL to the
server it works. If you then return to the HTML page, the browser get the
JPG/GIF from its cache (if you "refresh" the page, the photos are gone
again, because a refresh ignores the cache).

Anyway, a look at the webserver's access log should reveal which URL it gets
to "see" when the images are to be loaded and which HTTP code is returned
(not necessarily a 404). This should give some hint at the nature of the
problem (almost certainly some kind of mis-configuration of the webserver -
I think some of these have lots of strange options regarding what they
"hide" or not).
