Problem Viewing Galleries

Arkady · 05-01-2006, 20:06

Her last email to me:
well ive switched off firewall, enabled your site on norton.changed my lan settings to automatically select. gone into advanced and changed security to include ssl 1.0 whatever that is. disabled pop up blocker and on and on... phew. its just not meant to be viewed by me i'm afraid! never had this prob before.

Anyone?

Other than it's deffo the same problem as I've been having, Rob. I'm gonna have a play this evening, and if I hit on anything, I'll let you know...

EDIT: It's just happened now. I'm gonna get my tinkering-with-settings head on in a bit...

I'm even trying to upload some of the pix onto my Photobucket site as she can see that OK - it just takes bl00dy ages!!!

It's really basic but worth a stab, under the menu 'tools' go to settings, then the 'advanced' tab, then scroll down to the section that says 'multimedia' and just ensure that the box marked 'show pictures' is checked.

scrub that, just seen your post above, if she can see pictures on photof***it then she should be able to see them from here. The only thing I can think of is as above really, that the soupernet blouser must be somehow blocking images from this site!

Spencer (who spent an embarrasing couple of days wondering why only images linked to from outside the forum showed up, then discovered a certain tab in FF :cough: )

No dice mucking about with the firewall settings, or even turning it off momentarily. I've turned off ad blocking, enabled access to the site url and so on. Still getting loads of little red crosses... Has your friend had any joy yet?

Don't forget while testing, when you refresh, you need to do a forced refresh, ie CTRL F5, not just F5 or the refresh button

You probably already know that but still worth mentioning just incase.

Yep, Marcel, done that. However... I HAVE A FIX!!!

Not sure how to achieve this with other Firewall software, but with Norton Internet Security on my web proxy, I did this...

1. Click on 'Options' on the bar at the top of the Norton Internet Security window
2. Go to the Web Content tab (therefore nothing to do with the actual Firewall settings, which is what was throwing me...)
3. You should get a list of non-standard websites on the left. Click on 'Add Site' at the bottom of the list
4. Add 'www.thephotographyforums.com' - all default settings will be enabled in the frames on the right of the window.
5. Uncheck the default on 'Information about visited sites' and click on 'Permit', followed by 'OK'

Essentially, you want to be telling the web server that you've visited this site. Typical that it's a rather well-hidden setting. The clue was when Matty said 'tell her to set it to allow this domain'... I hold my hands up and say I was looking in the wrong place (ie the Firewall settings - go figure!)

Let me know how she gets on Rob...

It can also be effected by norton antispam.

Here's what I had to do (Before binning Norton):

Open Norton Internet Security, Click on Norton Antispam> add blocking> Configure> Advanced.

Add site, in this case 'www.the photographyforums.com'> OK> Add> Permit>www.thephotographyforums.com

Click OK> OK> OK.

Still don't get why t was intermittent though... Bloody computers!

minimeeze · 06-01-2006, 11:21

Supanet shouldn't make any difference as I'm running from it and I've not had any probs!
I told my friend's hubby about the site (see, I'm spreading the word

) and he sent me an email saying that he can't see the galleries - only red x's

Arkady · 06-01-2006, 11:31

OK Mini. Let me know if he finds a fix as well.
You'll notice I've been a nice Arkady and not posted any photos of my student as requested? Hmmm?

minimeeze · 06-01-2006, 13:04

Yeah...but I'm waiting for the blackmail...lol

***Dave*** · 06-01-2006, 13:09

Ever get the feeling we might be selling our souls to Arkady here.........just wait when wolfie starts a revolution...we'll all be dragged in

Matty · 06-01-2006, 13:09

re: the gallery, no idea about that either!

If you can get screenshots from your friends of what they see, it might be easier to diagnose those that havent been cured yet

When I've finally moved to Surrey I'll have to see if I'm brave enough to submit myself to the scrutiny of one of these little outtings... I hope Arkady has some patience for those afflicted with a lack of skill

wrong thread... but you get the idea
