I need some tech help please. phone/forum/pics

[justinspeed79]

So the only internet I have right now is my phone, and all had been well up until a couple days ago. I guess it started two days ago, none of the new pictures in any posts are showing up for me. I am just seeing a little grey box outline with a smaller blue box inside of that, with a question mark inside of the blue box. However, the pictures that were posted before that still show up. Any ideas? I haven't changed any settings, and as far as I can tell all my phone and store settings are the way they should be. Thanks in advance for any help.

Btw, it seems to be only on this site. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary on any other sites.

Same here, figured I needed to update my phone...guess not

[justinspeed79]

That's interesting. I figured it was something with my phone too, guess maybe it isn't???

yep, I see the same thing. Android phone. happened a few days ago.

Are you logged in while this is happening? Is it all the newer pics or just certain ones? Do any videos play?

Looks like non hosted pics, YouTube is fine, and Photobucket etc seem to be ok-

Sounds like a site issue, perhaps a setting to 'not show images on mobile devices'. Does it show a link instead?

I kinda tend to think the same thing except I don't know why older ones would still show. Try going into the user control panel and make sure that it is still set to view images within posts. A firmware update on the device may have somehow changed that setting. Also make sure that your device is set up to accept cookies from sites you visit. If you have a link to a specific thread that you can't see an image in that might be helpful too. Just make sure it's not in the B/S/T, because I'll probably buy whatever I see. I haven't allowed myself in there in years.

I first noticed it on LTO_daves Trackmaster thread.

I have checked my phone settings and everything seems fine, but I am not exactly a tech genius, its possible that I overlooked something. Although it seems that it must be site related if we are app having the same issue. I will take another look at my cookies settings just to be sure.

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

Yes. Sounds like maybe a board setting got changed. If the phone checks out then go to your control panel here and go to "Board Preferences" and click "edit display options". Make sure they all say yes. Like I said it shouldn't really matter, but mobile devices can work in mysterious ways. It should look like this. I'm no expert either though.

That ^ is not showing up, just the little question mark box.

I haven't changed any of my ucp settings, but I always have signatures and avatars turned off. I will try turning everything back on.

Nope, no link, just that little box. Also, you cannot click on the little box at all.

I just turned all my display options to on, and still getting the same thing. The signatures and avatars are working though.

[justinspeed79]

Ok, so I just logged out, checked my cookies settings, cookies is on, and that appears to be the only "setting", on or off, restated my phone, logged back on, and its still not working. Also I just noticed that signatures with a picture in them are doing the same thing.

Is it just this site that's giving you the problem?
