Image Posting Troubles?

[swampdweller]

I've used photobucket extensively to post images on FR. Now my images show up on FR on my computer but not to any of the other freepers. Anyone having the same trouble or know what is going on.

Just so ya'll know...I know I am doing everything right to post.

Maybe you aren’t logged in?

I’ve checked out the pics you posted earlier today, and they’re showing up fine on my computer.

Okay okay...funny...I’ve been in on these kind of ripping sessions. But really...I’m not like those guys. I know what I am doing. I am a posting expert.

Are you doing everything right to post? :-)

Sorry I'm not a techie.

Pro'ly what is happening is that you first access the photo on Photobucket through your account, thus it is cached in your browser. If it isn't your photo, you are at least doing it directly through the PB Web site. Either way, it is cached.

Then when you add it in to a FR post via an html link and you preview, your browser pulls up the image from cache and not the internet. Everything looks hunkydory to you but when we viewers of the post access the link, Photobucket (and lots of other sites) substitute their warning graphic or return nothing at all.

Here's how you can predict the problem. After you preview the post, use the browser's refresh button (or menu command) to force a re-read via the Internet. That might not do the trick if you have Photobucket open in another tab or have your PB session credentials in a cookie. It's worth a try though.

I don’t know what it could be? I use photobucket all the time. Have you exceeded your limit?

[swampdweller]

Yeah, the ones I copied from the FR are fine, but there are ones from photobucket (Helen Thomas) that just have the text Photobucket

I was having trouble with mt PB acct earlier today if that’s indicative of anything.

Is your computer turned on?

Just kidding.

[swampdweller]

Thanks. That’s good advice. I’ll try it out.

[swampdweller]

Is your computer turned on?

Hah! I can't believe I am the butt of this joke.

Sometimes I use sources to post images, but if it is something important to me, I jut load it up to my own server. That way it is guaranteed.

My work computer blocks images from some of the photo-sharing sites. Maybe something like that’s the problem.

Here, Try typing it in like this.

Is your thumb in front of the lens?

[swampdweller]

Tinypic looks viable... thanks! I’ll give it a try.

[mass55th]

I thought about that after I’d posted a reply, because I cut and paste a lot of photo addresses, especially when on captioning threads. But, when I checked the pics you’d posted, the Helen Thomas photo was clearly there...unfortunately :-P

[swampdweller]

Thank you for that. I’ll drift around to some other computers and see if my images showed up. Glad you saw the image....it gives me HOPE!

That guy has to be a democrat. He has his head u.....

Yep, and if you think your image hoster took a temporary powder, open the thread in a different browser and see if it loads.

Image Shack and xs.to, etc, sometimes bog down, especially in the daytime.
