Anyone else getting broken or missing images?

Post by NOTDilbert »

Hey FPF,
Your cat pics, and a lot of the images posted in the last couple days, either will not display (a little box with 'image' instead in Firefox) or broken image icons (IE9). Some of them from even earlier are affected, but not all. Anyone else experiencing this?

Have you tried right clicking on them and selecting "view image"? It's quite possible someone took them or the server they're on down or disabled the ability to hotlink them from another domain - all ways that you'd get an error HTML page instead of an image and thus a "broken image" from your browser(s).

(That said, I can definitely see them here, and I don't have them cached - maybe some kind of content filter on your end is the cause?)

#Leak,

Will try that - no content filters on my end on either browser, will try your way.

All is working now - may have been the server they were cached in (electronictiger.net, in FPF's case) was down at the time.

They're on my own hosting account.

For instance, the first cat pic is http://electronictiger.net/avail/stch1.jpg
