Since the site has come back up, whenever I post a pic it comes up a link, and not an attachment showing the pic???? Am I doing something wrong? The pics are small enough and should post up? I just want my pretty pictures to be seen....
Thanks

 

You mean like your sig pic? That's coming up fine. Link to examples maybe? Did your host site pull a geocities maybe?

 

i think he means like this:

One of the moderators here has that same issue.

The file appears to still get uploaded into the database, but something is happening (incorrectly) at that point. Likely something only Dirk can dig into and fix.

 

I had that problem a while back. IIRC I updated my IE and never had a problem again. I also swapped computers a week later so I can't wholeheartedly attribute the update to the fix.
Used to be that you could hit 'edit' to see how they entered everything, that doesn't work now so I can't see if they typed it in or if they tried it as an attachment. Maybe they could try using the html tag method to see if that works for them?

 

At first i wondered if it wasn't browser related, and was going to ask what browser was being used when to upload these files.

In the other case, i was able to download the attachment that was posted, despite the fact that the link appeared to be local to that user's computer. So the file does upload into the database. It's up to the software to properly link the file, which appears to be the issue here. Since the file is uploading into the database, it would seem to me that the issue possibly could be on TGO's end, since the user's end is sort of already "finished" its job by having supplied the file. i would think.

However, i never ran the attachment feature, so i have little experience with it.

 

I guess this all makes sense...I will PM Dirk to see what's up. I had noticed that OkFoz was having the same prob....
Thanks all

Edit - Apparently you cannot PM Dirk....He is un-PMable... I will now attempt to email him....

 

Just checking.....

 

Email sent....I hope Dirk can figure it all out.....
I have faith....

 

Let's make sure it isn't the pic...

 

That's what used to happen to me. It would seemingly upload fine, but would show up as above rather than as a pic. 911rsq (and anyone else that's having problems) post up what browser and version you are running. Granted it's a stab in the dark... :shrug:

 

Yes, it may help to know what browser they are running, and if any firewall/security programs. i think it may be a long shot though, as you can see the picture is getting uploaded into the database. Same as the other example in the other thread. Since the software is what properly links the file, that is why it seems it may be a TGO software glitch. Instead, it keeps the local link. However, as i mentioned, i didn't run the attachment feature so i have little experience and knowledge.

If it turns out to be a glitch in the system, since Dirk is upgrading to a new server, and may also be upgrading to vB 3.x sometime i would think, the issue may be on hold and may even go away with the upgrade, if it isn't a user related issue.

 

I am running thru internet explorer thru my local cable company.

RedDevil...u said this used to happen to you.... any ideas on why it stopped doing it????

It really sux not being able to post them up.

P.S. - That's NOT my car....

 

Without knowing much about the attachment feature at this time, and being only on the user side, it is a stab in the dark.

But what version of IE are you using? Also, are you using Windows XP Service Pack 2? Or XP Service Pack 1?

Also, are you running any third party type security programs? Such as Norton Security?

If I was you, to help eliminate a lot of this, i'd download and try FireFox. FireFox is a fast growing, free, browser program. It has pros and cons just as Internet Explorer.

Perhaps give FireFox a download and a quick try here to see if you can use the attachment feature or not.

Same problem, everything worked great (posted pictures) before the site crashed. Now I can't post any pictures without a link from my personal files coming up. So when can this be corrected??? Soon I hope.

 

JT..... I am not really sure which version of IE I am using. I go to properties and it doesn't really say anything about which version it is. Also, I don't know which service pack I am using of XP. This has to be related to the site itself as everything worked fine before the "crash" and now nothing works. I have heard it from several other people with the same problem. I sent Dirk an email, but he must be busy as he has not replied yet.

 

To find out about the service pack, you can right-click on My Computer and select properties. You should see Microsoft Windows XP. If you have Service Pack 2, it will show that listed as well.

To determine your IE version, in an IE browser window, you can click on Help and then About. It should show the version.

You are right, i have suspected it is a site issue, as your PC is uploading the image to the TGO database, and really, the vB software is responsible for proper linking. But it is quite strange on how many users have no issues (like myself), while only certain users do. i fairly familiar with vB and know that user groups exist and such, but that does not seem to apply for something like this.

 

JT....... Service pack 2 for XP and for IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 .....that seems like a lot....

 

In the past few days, images I've tried to upload also were posted a links, not images. Perhaps it's related to the file naming convention... I"m using XP, SP2, updated OS and MS IE.

My sig image is linked from my website and displays ok, but I'll try a test image of my son with his '92 Z-28 during our trip through Death Valley as an upload from my computer...

Worked ok now, the file name had no spaces -- DeathValley72-1.jpg

 

 

I too recently had this same problem. I ended up hosting the pic to get it to show. The next day I was able to post a pic normally without any IE or windows updates.

 

lets see if it works......Tried and it still not working right.

 

I've been having the same issues. Half the time it will work right, and half the time it will just post the link.

Windows XP service pack 2, IE version 6

 

I came to the conclusion that it is a site problem, bcause I can post attachments from the same file with NO PROBLEMS. Nothings changed on my end and been using XP2 all the time with all the updates.

 

I just downloaded firefox, and I can attach pics ok now. I don't know if it's because of firefox or TGO though.

 

I actually switched IE versions. I also started using Firefox. I can't seem to stick with one or the other. :shrug:

 

hmmmmmm

 

Nope....still doing it...
How do you change versions of IE ??? Maybe that will work for me!!

 

I have the same problem what can we do?

 

I sent Dirk an email....no replys..... HELP US DIRK

 

i'd imagine that Dirk has been very busy getting the new server ready to take over. Since that affects everyone here, and was likely his original plan, i'm guessing he is trying to get the new server transfer taken care of, first. So you may have to wait it out for a little while.

 

no complaints here... i have nothing but respect for him... just stating a fact that I had sent him one

 

I was running an older version and upgraded to the newer one.

Have you tried out firefox yet? It's really rather good.Hell of a lot fewer pop-ups and malware problems... until it gets -really- popular anyway.

 

I like it alot so far. It also seems to load pages faster too, maybe I had spyware that my detectors didn't detect...

 

I haven't tried FireFox as of yet, but I checked and the version of IE that I am running is the most current....
