I added a picture a few minutes ago. It was on my Control panel and in New images gallery. Then i came back to it and now it isn't here. I was wondering why it got deleted. The picture was Lake Como sepia, i Photography - Landscape.

It looks like you may have accidently deleted it. I have added it back to your gallery.

:o) ... I hate it when that happens

How come in my gallery the thumbnail for Are You Ready? doesn't show up but instead it says 'The image that was supposed to be here is from caedes.net and the chihuahuas are coming to get you' but if you click on it you can see the sketch? What's wrong with the thumbnail? I haven't received any PM's or see anything in my control panel to suggest a problem.

That's hotlink protection coming into play. It shouldn't show up in your gallery though, only if someone tries to embed it into another site.

sounds like a cookie issue .. the site doesn't recognize you as being you

I'm not sure I feel comfortable vouching for you either .. the Pat I know is a rock solid, unflinching, pillar of the community that wouldn't panic so quickly

what's your mother's maiden name?

;o)

Speaking of mothers n stuff my father was a General. Maybe you heard of him...General Electric.

Well, I might have known a couple of wise-crackers would show up, lol...so Jerry, your father was General Electric?...well I'll be a monkey's uncle!...oh and Keith, re: my mothers' name, that would be 'maiden Canada'...now to address the only sensible person here, thank you KJ, yes, I've seen that chihuahua thing and about hotlinking somewhere on the site before but as you say, it's funny it shows up in my gallery...I certainly didn't try to hotlink myself but suddenly I feel like my own worst enemy...is there some way to get rid of it?

Edit: Hurray, my thumbnail is back! Thank you to whoever fixed it. "Bob's your uncle".

I had the same dealie on Mystique, I believe it was, but it's fixed now. So I guess I really don't have anything to comment on.

Uh... hidey ho everyone ! Have a great week ! ;o)

I had nowt to do with that Pat!....'Honest'?...

Don't mean to sound suspicious or anything but how come you're in disguise today, Bob?

Makes you wonder doesn't it Pat ? Hmm.

doesn't anyone see it says "wor lass" (his wife) on the pic?

Gee, what good eyesight you have, Rob, lol...tho' I must admit I did enlarge and discovered the same thing...no use hiding behind your wife Bob...we women stick together, 'ya know.

I always 'Hide' behind Wor-Lass....

A far better view! than looking straight on?..

I just realised the link between that image and the non-embedding protection.

Why does this happen:
1) open the information page for an image;
2) do something else for a while (look at something else, make a cup of tea - whatever);
3) now try to open a full screen view;
4) observe the warning image?

The waiting time seems to vary, so if it doesn't do that, you may not have waited long enough.

For some reason, the site fails to recognise itself? Is that what's going on? Or am I just hopelessly confused?

Or both?

I would guess .. possibly .. your "session" timed out

or .. it is something due to the NEW way that the site is serving images from before ..

as explained in the news article on the front page .. images are no longer being generated and stored in the various sizes .. they are being chisled from marble on the fly .. whatever doesn't look like an elephant is dust on the floor

:o)

It's not new.

I don't know about my "session" but I'm definitely logged it. If I wanted to post a comment on the info page, that would work fine. (I could then get the full view since the page refreshes after posting, but that's not the right order to do it in!)
