Are my pictures really that BAD?

I know that this topic has been discussed before, and have tried all the suggestions, but nothing seems the work. My picture (s) and my avatar just keep disappearing on me. [:'(]


Tried picture upload from my computer, Flickr, and from my files on this site, but still no luck.


I use 3 different computers with the following O/S: Window 7, Vista and XP, all having the same problem.


Downloading the site and changes of pages is very slow. I do not have any problems in up/down loading for other sites at reasonable speed.


I have check my settings, and that seems all in order. I do know other members can see my photos.


Has any member that has similar problems fix this and if so please let me know How you did it.


Trial pix uploaded from my TDP files. Thanks for your help Wally.

I have not had any problems with photos disappearing that I know of. I cannot post directly thru this site though and must go thru flickr. I do have problems with going from page to page in a thread being very slow sometimes or going back to the main forum page. Also, a majority of the time the numbered pages at the bottom of the threads doesn

Thanks for the feed back Denise

Now how can I put this delicately? It

Wally....I feel your frustration.


I posted 2 pix in the bird thread and they both disappeared....today I was reading thru the forum topics and went back to birds; lo and behold, not only did my 2 pix reappear (w/out explanation), but Joel's pelican shot did also.


I don't have an answer for you, but I've been using the same computer for the past 3 years and I use rich formatting, the "insert image" icon on the toolbar and flickr.


Hmm, just thinking; we did have an earthquake today on the east coast....maybe it snapped HAL's, err, I mean the TDP's program back in line.


Well, we'll just keep posting and hopefully Bryan will figure out the bugs.

Correction: Just went to the bird thread; all pix are missing again, including Joel's latest HB pix.

What I've noticed is that every page can be viewed, except page 1. When you try to view page 1, it goes to the last page, via a slightly different URL. At this point, you can re-click on page 1 and make it there.


And yes, the site has become a bit slow to load pages at times. Bryan is aware and considering his options, including other forum software, if he can keep the existing discussions intact.

Not to be a fly in the ointment, but my avatar is there, and my pics and everyone elses' (at least, Bill's and Joel's in the bird thread, and yours at the start of this thread, Wally) all show up - I haven't seen any disappear in recent memory.

I just went to the last page of the bird thread and all are there. Could it be that it is because I still use explorer 8 that I

Wally, what type of browser do you use?


The forums are also slow from time to time here, but my pictures(from Flickr) and avatar seem to stay on. I'm using the latest Firefox and have no problems at all. If I remember correctly, John(neuroanatomist) is probably using something like Safari? And he has no problems either, so I'm guessing the problems are with Internet Explorer?


If you have problems, please state what browser you use, it might solve the problem.

That can be possible. Seems that Internet Explorer 9 isn't the best product Microsoft has come up with. My mother has big "problems" playing online java based games, so there are more problems.

I use internet explorer and get a lot of broken images on this forum (little white boxes with a red X inside). I just refresh the page (hit F5 with most browsers) until they appear, usually only takes one try. If it bothered me that much I
