Graphics Problem in Posts - CR4 Problem

10/13/2008 4:38 AM

Hello CR4 Admin,

I have attempted to place some small graphics during the last several hours in CR4 Forum Posts.

I keep getting the message: Bad image file: xxxxxxxx where xxxx is the file name.

I have rebooted my PC several times.

I have cleared out Firefox Browser Cache.

I have overwritten my Browser Cache with random data.

I still get the error message (I cannot show a screengrab, because that message Bad image file still occurs).

File formats tried are the usual OK ones: .gif + .jpg + .png all files.

Is it just my system?

This is not a problem on other forums I am Posting on, at present.

Kind Regards.... (The CR4 internal smileys are OK)

It took you a long time to spot this Sparky ! I've been indecently naked for the past day or two. I mailed mgaulin but, alas, it's been the weekend.

Re-install your o/s, just to be on the safe side......OK, I AM JOKING !! IT'S CR4 ISSUE - DON'T TOUCH THEM BUTTONS !

I don't believe the rumours that you've used up everyones gifquote.

Darn it, they've even removed the 'check this box to remove current picture' thing. Obviously the sight of my nakedness has compelled them to stop others doing similar.

............Maybe I can claim to have finally disappeared up my own **** !

Hi All,

We have a server issue on our end that's causing the image problem. We're working to fix it.

As the old saying goes, there's more than one way to... sorry, Del.

You can upload your graphic to a photo sharing site such as Photobucket or Flickr, then use the url to the pic. I just did that with two photos for a new picture challenge thread. This might help CR4 conserve bandwith too.

Hello 3Doug

I was aware that external linked graphics may sometimes still work OK at

But as you can see, if the still had the graphics problem, then externally hosted graphics would probably also be affected.

The main problem with Live Hyperlinks to externally hosted graphics, is the eventual infesting of malware from some externally linked graphic to the Server on which a Topic or Post is placed.

On several Forums all Live External Hyperlinks are banned, for that very reason.

And a Vote of grateful thanks to the hard-working Admin, who have solved the problem.

The Awards Committee have much pleasure in presenting Admin with the coveted

Kind Regards....

Re: Graphics Problem in Posts - CR4 Problem

Dear CR4,

I still cannot load an avatar. Mine disappeared around Friday (?) and I've tried reloading it repeatedly, but still with no success. At first I got a detailed message regarding the server error, then later I just got a brief message that just said

"Server Error", and now it acts like it's loading the edited profile, but when I go to look at it, the avatar is just not there. I've tried several other jpg files as well, but none of those work either. Nor do I have access to the standard avatars.

Please help!

DrMoose

Hello DrMoose

Almost 4 hours has passed since you wrote the above post.

I see you now have an Avatar there, so it appears the problem has been solved.

Here's a .jpg picture now, just uploaded from me to check

So that uploaded OK from my PC.

Kind Regards....

Hey Sparky,

Yes, they do seem to have solved the problem, for me at least. I do see that there seem to be a few yet that are still not loading, but I imagine they are working on it even now. Thanks

Alert Warning Sign

Hello Kris

There are some interesting signs around.

Your new Avatar does look somewhat battish.

Kind Regards....

Aha.....my 'new' picture has your excellent general knowledge caught short ! I've used () him before - It's Spring Heeled Jack, of Olde Londone Towne. He googles quite well, and harks back to an age of 'Penny Dredfuls' and such. Many a fair lady swooned at his appearance.
