Anyone else having problems viewing files?

[Cycledude]

I’m using iPad through verizon jetpack, today everything seems to be working fine.
but definitely been having problems viewing pictures on and off since about Monday.
From my home out in the country verizon jetpack is often kinda slow but in Town where signal is stronger it usually works much better.
Must be frustrating for moderators dealing with some of the comments.

CSS that is dynamically changing the image path to an invalid one (pointing at an old server, a invalid path, etc) on the fly, or not setting it at all? How to Set img src using CSS - Sabe.io

Troubleshooting 101 for browser issues is to clear the cache and cookies for the site in question, often followed by disabling add ons, why are you surprised that it would be suggested?

The CSS is on the server side...exactly how can it be dynamic ??

I was not surprised it was suggested...people often state the obvious...

BTW...I suggested it could possibly be a CSS issue early in the thread...

Something is still not working correctly. Here on HughesNet I still get - a weird initial log in page - a few avatars not showing - a few pictures not showing. Something has grabbed hold of TBN and giving it a good shake. My browser now is FireFox.

iPad is still not working.

Mine neither.

When I open a thread and get "weirdness" - close it - go back to main list of all threads - open the thread a second time - it's usually OK then. It's as though it takes two times to get all the info opened and in the correct place.

Recently I've been getting a lot of dead link image files using Safari

For example:

Groan part quatre

www.tractorbynet.com

shows up with multiple dead image links showing empty placeholders on Safari but images render ok on FireFox.

We didn't change anything. The safari browser issue has led us to some possible culprits but no reasons yet.

see my previous post for some details. Avatar's not loading as well

Here @ 11 pm - things are still not working correctly. Log in page opens with display of raw data. Same with many posts and no avatars. Looks very much like virus corruption.

Well - this morning is a totally different picture. I'm on FireFox and this particular thread is all screwed up. The thread opened up before all the data was loaded. Everything is listed in a vertical column on the left side of the page. Obviously there is work to be done here. I'll just say - adios - for now.

Strange - I checked five other threads on Rural Living - four were fine, one was not. AND now - about five minutes later - this thread seems to be OK.

I'm going over to Safari and see how that looks.

I get that on occasion on Firefox on android, generally a reload fix is it, I'm assuming something isn't loading correctly with CSS as all the data is there, it's just not formatted correctly.

The CSS is on the server side...exactly how can it be dynamic ??

It can dynamically resize pictures to match your screen size, the site does that.

In theory, you could also have CSS set the current image location so that if the image hosting location changes as it has in the past old posts can be updated with the new image location and all the database needs to store is the unique attachment ID.


Looking at what is loaded for this particular page, I count 14 scripts and it appears to use 5 CSS style sheets with a total of 6,989 rules. It only takes a couple characters to getting changed for the whole thing to stop working.

I was not surprised it was suggested...people often state the obvious...

That's because people often get complacent and skip the basic steps of troubleshooting, then act confused when their problem ends up being something basic.
How many threads have there been on here complaining about how their tractor won't start and it turns out to be either the PTO lever not being quite seated in neutral, on a hydrostatic tractor one of the pedals is just far enough out of the neutral position that it trips the safety and doesn't let it crank?

BTW...I suggested it could possibly be a CSS issue early in the thread...

Why the complete and total dismissal of clearing cookies and cache as a troubleshooting step then?
If you've already done it great, say so. If you haven't you probably should.
