Title: Missing piccys
Post by: GordonY on 07 January 2014, 08:20:43 AM
Getting worried here chaps, just noticed that a piccy I posted yesterday has dissapeared along with my avatar, now to make matters really serious piccies have dissapeared from our favourite thread, yes its true, to misquote a movie title "Some of our Totty is missing!"

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Given that "pics sell" is someone "selling pics?"

Discuss :)

Yeah, I keep thinking that I've posted on various threads, only to find nothing there. I just put it down to Altzheimers....

I get the same thing from time to time Ray.
But I think it's because I preview the drivel I've plonked down....99 times out of 100, anyway......and then miss out hitting the 'Post' key...So the post never actually comes up.
That's my excuse anyway.
Cheers - Phil

Going back to the missing pics.....
Been and had a quick look at the first few pages of the Totty Thread.....
Do Nosher and Sandanista use the same 'photobuckety' thing (host ?).......Is there a problem at that end perhaps ?
Cheers - Phil.

One the first few pages of Top Totty.....
Nosher's and Sandanista's posts have .....'deleted by admin' instead of a piccy .....At least they do on the antiquated PC here at Techno Towers
Same with another pic posted by Ian in the Painting and modelling thread.

YET....a later pic in the totty thread posted by Nosher.... of the lass, prone, firing some sort of gun....IS there.

Very odd. :-\
Cheers - Phil.

Just the first few, and last few pages Steve. :P
Can you see images in Nosher's posts in the early pages ?

Mrs T has "GOT AT" your PC and has somehow put a virus on that deletes a Totty Photo everytime you go on said thread :)

I think it's (at least) poor Nosher who's been 'got at'.....His totty pics aren't the only he's posted that have gone awol....Though there ARE some he's posted that don't seem to have been affected....Very curious.
Cheers - Phil.

No its not just Nosher, and no its not at the Photobucket end, the problem is the forum. My avatar's piccy is stored there (Photobucket), and it appears on other fora, large as life and twice as 'andsome but here I'm avatarless.

There was an update to the software behind the Forum about a year ago I think, which caused a problem with some of the images which had been posted as attachments, instead of links.  Those are the ones showing as 'Deleted by Admin', as they were lost from the server. 

Anything which is posted as a link should always stay intact, the only time those would break is if the actual host of the image deleted it.  So if you change/delete the image from your Photobucket, it will no longer show up here.  Some of the older Painting Comp ones have gone like that.

Mea Culpa, Leon, its my browser thats been got at, just seems rather strange that its only here that certain piccies arent displayed.

Ok I'll get me coat.........
