Here's the relevant information:

Storm Clouds over Musee d'Orsay

Gallery: photography->general

Could not view while in the New Images approval queue.

Still can't view in New Images gallery, as well as, in the member's galleries.

Yet.. it did seem to have been approved?

Oh, and viewing with Firefox here.

PM received from gr8ulted:

"Personal message from gr8fulted [2/08/16 22:43]:

It was either a jgp file or a jpeg file. one or the other. I shoot RAW and the software I use while processing converts it to one or the other.

Some folks seem to be seeing it, but I can't see it anywhere. The only time I can see it is when someone posts on it."

... ...

I had asked what the file format was, as this issue had.. sort of, kind of.. similarly crept up before when a member had uploaded a TIFF file.

And another image from today not displaying:

ZapThefly Aircraft II
Author: HazyHairs
Gallery: computer->3d

Another Version of ZapThefly Aircraft.

... ...

Not showing in image queue, nor that of the New Images galleries and the respective member's galleries.

... ...

There are others that I have come across that are older and from various other members.. will endeavour to make note of them in this thread.

More weirdness from today.. as this image displays in the image approval queue in thumbnail.. but, not when visiting the image's page. At all.

This was noted by another member on the image's pages in comments.

Seems some can view these images.. some cannot.

This image won't load full-size for me:

EDITED TO ADD: Problem has resolved now. Can view full-size image from image's page.

This image won't load full-screen either, while on the image's page:

Old State House

However.. if I right-click on it and "Open Link in New Tab".. it will appear in the new tab full-size.

Just need to 'zoom', or, click on the "+".. to get the "full" full-size (not much difference for me, really.. as my monitor's resolution is 1920 X 1200).

Again, note.. using Firefox 48.0 here.

Can't view in queue, nor, in member's galleries.

Can't even click while in member's galleries to bring up image's page..

There is the same problem with my Dahlia picture, i posted it this morning, someone posted on it but my picture does not show up in New Images gallery and it does not show up in my gallery either.

Are you referring to this photo, Jerome?

"Colorful Dahlia"

I can view it, however, the first image noted in this discussion thread.. the member reported something similar to what I believe you are saying.

But.. once someone commented on his image.. he could then go to his image's page and see it.

And I quote;

"Some folks seem to be seeing it, but I can't see it anywhere. The only time I can see it is when someone posts on it."

Yes, i was referring to this photo, i could view it via " Caedes Control " or when someone posted on it but as i said earlier, my picture did not show up in New Images gallery and it did not show up in my gallery either. Not sure how Ram(Raj)... could post on my picture? he is not in my friends list either.

Thanks for the reply, Les.

Well, it seems to be an anomaly.. in that some can view and some can't.

Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.


Insofar as Ramad; aka Raj seeing your image?

He was probably looking through the New Images galleries and saw it and thought to comment. He has a few photos of dahlias in his own galleries, as well as, other flower images.

One more..

"Apache"

As noted in comments (by me)..

"In case anyone has trouble while on the image's page here clicking and viewing (it won't open full-size for me).. right-click and select; "Open Link in New Tab" will allow you to view full-size.

If I simply click on the image.. page goes opaquely 'grey'."

"Mates"

Thumbnail in New Images galleries.. once on image's page.. nothing at all. No thumbnail.

"Sandhill Crane" by stylo.

Could only see the thumbnail while the image was in the approval queue.

On the image's page itself.. nothing displays.

Well, this is new thing..

"Beeckestein"

... image was on the front page, and for me.. was simply displaying white; aka nothing for a thumbnail.

However, when I did a site wallpaper search and once on the image's page.. displayed, both; thumbnail and full-size.

Found something out.

Was looking through member ro_and's galleries and noticed that "Carcassonne 12" was not displaying for me there.

Just a white area where the thumbnail should be.

But.. if I go to the next successive upload, namely; "Carcassonne 13" ... and once on that image's page use the >> keys to navigate backwards to that of "Carcassonne 12" ... et voila. The image's page displays a thumbnail and I can view it full-size once clicked.

Here is the direct link to "Carcassonne 12".

Which works for me when the link is provided.

Reiterating.. not viewable in the member's gallery, though.

I had trouble opening Frank's Londonderry Wall full screen. It goes opaquely gray.

And I was just about to add "Londonderry Wall" by flanno2610; aka Frank ... to the thread here.

Thanks, Connie.

Same thing here, on the note of when trying to view his image full-size.. screen goes opaquely grey.

One more on the note of when trying to view full-size.. screen goes opaquely grey..

"Autumn Path" by Magicpic

Nothing displaying (for me) even in thumbnail for the following image:

"Whistling Past The Graveyard"

(Sidenote: Can't link to the image's page, as of this writing.. so, simply linked to the member's galleries for now.)

... ...

Edited to add: Once in Ted's galleries.. can use the >> navigation buttons to access and view.. full-size.. the image in question here.

The above image does not show up in Firefox, but does show up in Chrome.

With 'Whistling Past The Graveyard' using purmusic's link above (to gr8fulted's gallery) there is a blank space where the image should be in my browsers Edge, Maxthon, Chrome, Firefox and Avast Secure Zone. In IE it is there and in Safari on my ipad it is there.

However, using this direct link to the image page it opens with no problem in all browsers
http://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=gr8fulted-1477841623.jpg

Being Halloween, maybe such an image is being spooked by ghosty gremlin type thingimebobs :) I think I hear faint whistling . . . . . ..

The perplexing thing to my pea brain.. is that this issue does not seem to be browser dependent.

Mind you,I've not delved into possible browser settings, but, I don't think that is where the issue lies.

In other words..

I have no idea.


Thanks for weighing in with the additional information everyone, your time in doing so is indeed appreciated.

Ok, so..

Using the navigation arrows (<< .. >>) in either the member's gallery for the image in question, or, that of the New Images gallery.. are the current workarounds for some of these images that are not properly displaying for some members.

Go to the preceding or succeeding image.. use the navigation arrows (<< .. >> ... found at the top of the page and on either side of the thumbnail and are coloured blue).. and navigate back or to the image that won't display for you.

Tomeast's "Cloudy shore 2" was not displaying in the approval queue.

Just that of the following was showing..

Cloudy shore 2 by Tomeast, photography->shorelines gallery

... no image.

Same (for me, at least) if you visit his personal galleries.


It can, however, be accessed using the navigation arrows, both, in the New Images galleries and that of his personal galleries. And can then be viewed full-sized.

"Up We Go & Around the Bend"

Image would not display in the approval queue or in the New Images galleries.

But.. using the navigation arrows on an adjacent image while in the New Images galleries.. could go to image's page and there it was, available for full-size viewing.

All images going from Seagulls by Elektronist to Gogg's Darkness are not appearing in thumbnail or screensized. I tried Foxfire, Chrome, IE and it was all the same. Featured images are not displaying, either. This started fairly early in the evening and it is now 3am and still isn't resolved.

Everything reappeared at 3:20am!

I noticed that Chris; aka stylo made mention of the same in a comment posted to his most recent upload, Connie.

Thanks for taking the time to post the information. It is appreciated.

Another image that does not display in the New Images Galleries (simply white space, no image.. title appears below).. yet.. is accessible to view via the navigation arrows of successive image:

Lunakhysst - 2016 Holiday Season

This is a bit different.. as nothing shows once on the image's page:

"Factory Town"

All's I see, once on the image's page itself.. is that of the accompanying narrative.

No.. square with an "X", no "white space/window".. for examples.

Nothing whatsoever, where the image itself is concerned.

Thumbnail was present in the approval queue and that's it.

... ...

Edited to add:

Connie; aka Constance52347 commented..

Constance52347 5/02/17 19:07

"Cannot see the image in Firefox, can view it in Chrome. I love this shot! So glad to download it. :)"

So, it would appear that it might be a browser issue.

This image falls into the category of.. when trying to view full-size, only brings up the grey opaque stuff. As in, no image will display for me:

"Doe and Fawn Sculpture"

Small thumbnail in the approval queue.. is fine.
Thumbnail on image's page.. is fine.

Can't view full-size.. grey opaque screening only, when clicked.

Firefox here.

back in the day someone sent a pic from a scanner labeled wtfkindaformat.youaintgotthis and you couldn't open it? maybe that what's going on here

It has happened in the past that a member has uploaded an image in a format that was not compatible with the site.. i.e. TIFF.. with the results being that the image would not display.

(In this instance.. if you clicked to view full-size.. a gray opaque screen would appear and cover the page.)


But, in this thread, we have instances of absolutely nothing at all displaying. No thumbnail.. nadda.

So, I am leaning away from just an image format problem and towards this issue being browser and server related.

100% browser

Been a while, however.. got one for the list from Ted; aka gr8fulted:

"Well, That's A Relief"

Accessed image to approve via his personal galleries and using the navigation arrows.

As nothing was showing in the approval queue. Just a blank white square. Same for his personal galleries.

... ...

Edited to add: Image now displays fine.

(*shrugs*)

I can see the picture you mentioned above "Well, That's A Relief" but it does not work via " New Images " or gr8fulted's galleries, a blank white square shows up, thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for weighing in, Jerome.

I am experiencing similarly.. as in;

Blank white square in the New Images gallery, and the same for his personal galleries.. for that image.

... ...

But, to reiterate.. it is viewable if you use the site's navigational arrows located beside any given image.

... ...

ETA: Oh, and to reiterate.. am using Firefox here. 32-bit version.

Can see thumbnail in image approval queue.. but, once on the image's actual page in the member's galleries.. nothing. Not even the white blank square/space.

"Dappled Hill" by Tootles.

... ...

Hopefully the issue resolves after being approved. And/or.. can access the image via the navigation arrows.

Will update this post if need be.

For what it is worth - Dappled Hill I first viewed on my ipad - and it displayed ok.
Maxthon is my main browser on PC - no go.
Also it will not display on Sea Monkey or Google Chrome. Nothing at all,no space where it should be, just Name, Copyright info then the description. I do see the thumbnail in New Images.

I can see it on Edge, Firefox and Vivaldi and also on Avast Safezone Browser.

Thanks, Lyn.. appreciate you taking the time to weigh in here.

I do think, after PM'ing with Tootles.. that this particular image's mystery may be solved now.

In that, one; the file size was 20 MB.

And more importantly, two; the bit depth was 16. Not your 'usual' 8-bit color.

I don't understand but will bow to your knowledge. I downloaded the image and although it has been uploaded at 20 MB it is just 1.32MB after being resized by the site. It is also not as large as some others 2160x1440 pixels. However the dpi is 351. Most are 72, maybe that has a bearing. It just seems weird you can not see it on Firefox but I can.

"It just seems weird you can not see it on Firefox but I can."

Agreed.

There are times when I do think it comes down to a browser issue only, and then.. not.

(*shrug*)

Sorry for the confusion... I was talking about too many images. :-)

The one that was 20 MB was last night's one... whazzitcalled??.... er... ah, A Bright Spot. That's the 20 MB file, and it was slow loading.

Just to check, as I still have the same PNG I uploaded (I put them in my wallpaper gallery), Dappled Hill was 1.9 MB.

I think your previous suspicion or pointer is the correct one, that it's something to do with Firefox. I did have Firefox open, and though I wouldn't deliberately opt to upload using it, I might have done so thinking it was Safari. They are both fairly featureless, so I'd just type my password in to log in, et voila.

"Rose Garden 07"

For me, I can see the thumbnail in the approval queue.. but, once on the image's page in the member's galleries ... there is nothing.

No thumbnail, no blank white square.. nothing at all, save that of Cornelius' accompanying narrative.

For me it appears perfectly in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Avast SafeZone,and MS Edge.

Chrome, Maxthon, Seamonkey, the picture is absent

In most similar cases the image is usually visible in an alternate browser.

However, I have had a problem sending a pm using Edge - I am told to log in when I already am logged in.

Something I had not considered before, and that Cornelius addressed on his image's page.. that of the 32-bit version of Firefox versus the 64-bit version.

Me?

32-bit version here.

Provided you have 64bit windows you can upgrade to 64bit Firefox without loosing your settings. No need to uninstall the 32 bit version (which is the default install) and easy to revert back to 32 as default if for some strange reason you decide you like it better.
Instructions are here https://www.howtogeek.com/298291/how-to-upgrade-firefox-from-32-bit-to-64-bit-in-windows-without-reinstalling/

I was going to do that just the other day.

As I had tried Waterfox in the past. And lost track of keeping track for a release of a 64-bit version of Firefox.. till noticing it in the last weeks.

Thanks, Lyn.

One more..

"Mushrooms in Unreality"

... ...

The 'how to' stuff..

Right click on the page and select; "View Page Source".

Then..

Do a search, via Ctrl+F for "cloudfront".. which should bring you to the storage location of, and for the example here..

<*a href="http://dr92wy3r2elps.cloudfront.net/il/LynEve-1499605013.jpg" target="_blank" id="fullsizelink">

(^ Note: Asterisks (*) have been added so that the site doesn't convert.)

Copy and paste just this part..

... into a new tab/window.. et.. voila. You can now view.

... ...

Firefox 32-bit version here.

'Mushrooms in Reality' comes up fine on iPad, Safari.
And this is an old iPad. :-)

The same for 'Rose Garden 07'.

pastureyes's "The Dentist".

Can see the thumbnail in the New Images galleries.. but, once on the page in his personal galleries.. nothing. Blank space, only the accompanying narrative in place.

In Firefox, Edge and Maxthon the thumbnail square on the personal gallery page is empty but the full size image displays just by clicking on the words 'Click here to view he full size resolution'

".. but the full size image displays just by clicking on the words 'Click here to view the full size resolution' "

^ Thank you so much, Lyn. :o)

My curiosity got the better of me.. so..

I went back through this discussion thread and the images listed and a couple of things came to pass:

i) Some of the images now display.. no problems.
ii) The images that are not displaying.. the words and clickable; "Click here to view the full size resolution".. does not appear.

... ...

For example and on the former note.. Lyn's "Mushrooms in Unreality" now displays.

And then, on the latter note: "Rose Garden 07".. "Click here to view the full size resolution".. do not appear.

Gremlins for sure :).
Little devils !

Rose Garden 07 views beautifully for me :)

Using IE

"On the Rocks" by Kathy; aka trixxie17.. just greys out when trying to view full-size.

... ...

Again, viewing in Firefox here.

And as reported by another member on the image's page in the comments by Constance52347.. no issues viewing via Internet Explorer. (Chrome is a no go, though.)

Same results here - Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome & Edge all have the problem - IE works OK

Thanks, Lyn.

Appreciate your time and the added information. :o)

It opens fine on iPad too

Opened fine on my phone 😊

Richie's; aka biffobear "Thortergill Force".

No thumbnails in either of his personal galleries or that of the New Images. Just blank white space.

However..

Can access the image's page by using the site's navigation arrows and once there, thumbnail is present and accounted for, as well as, no issues viewing full-size.

I only have access to safari on I Pad right now and all aspects are displaying perfectly.
I will check in browsers on pc later
I think that gremlin is up to its tricks again !!

Nope, thumbnails dont work properly here either - Maxthon, Edge, Firefox tried.

Thanks, Lyn.

Appreciate your time and efforts.


I have my fingers crossed, that like some images in this discussion thread.. the issue will resolve at some point for this one.

Viewing fine for me on IE & phone.

"Covered Bridge, Oregon City, Ca.".. by Bruce; aka Flmngseabass is not displaying.

No thumbnail on image's page.. but, there is a preview thumbnail if you go to Bruce's personal galleries.

Can't access via neighbouring images in his galleries by using the Navigation arrows (<< .. >>) either.

... ...

Firefox here.

Viewing OK on laptop running IE

OK on phone

OK on tablet using Chrome.

Not working on Firefox, Chrome, Edge or Vivaldi.
Maxthon displays the frame where it should be and is clickable to the full size image.
IE - that works.

Thanks, Mimi and Lyn for fleshing things out some more.

Appreciate your time. :o)

Also ok on safari with iPad
And iphone

Thanks again, Lyn. :o)

This image won't display properly on the image's page when clicked to view full-size:

"Stepping out of time Fire Terry Montana"

Get the 'transparent grey overlay' thing happening instead.

Fortunately, as pointed out by commenters.. right-clicking and opening the image in a new tab.. can view full-size.

... ...

Just an f.y.i. and.. Firefox here.

"Ruby's Wildflowers #3".. by Sandi; aka tigger3 ... shows up in thumbnail in the New Images galleries and in the member's personal galleries.

But, once on image's page.. nothing showing at all.

Firefox here.
