CJ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Since the forum update I have had a problem viewing attached thumbnails. I click on them and then get a new screen up that says: The image "http://www.mkivsupra.net etc etc" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors". I am running Firefox as a browser and never had this problem before. If I go to members garage and click on thumbnails it is OK but if I try to open the pics in a thread like this one, it doesn't work. Anyone else with the same problem?

AndrewOW Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm not having any problems viewing images, just uploading them, and I'm still using IE 5 on Mac OS9. I've noticed a big jump in the demands on the computer since this recent update. Not long now, and I'll drop off the compatibility scale. Well, at work anyway. Which means I may have to do some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well, I haven't changed anything and yet they are now opening - albeit after firstly showing the error message and then having the blue bar at the bottom running from let to right continuously as if it is still loading something even though the image is on screen. Very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Bumping this back up as I still get the same problem. Anyone have any ideas of things for me to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhawk Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I know it's not a huge amount of help, but I've had spurious issues with Firefox in the past and removing/re-installing cured them. I did try troubleshooting for a while, but in the end there's only so much time your willing to put into fixing something that can be resolved with a rebuild. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ah well, tried that and it's still the same. It opens up a new page that says the image contains errors but eventually does show the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Buggernuts! Tried all the above but still no joy. Ah well, something I will have to live with I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Just a quick update in case anyone else has the same problem. I un-installed the Skype add on and it now works fine 'n' dandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 That's odd. What version number of Firefox are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 That's odd. What version number of Firefox are you using? It is version 3.0.1 Jake. I assume this is the latest version as when I click "check for updates" it tells me there are none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
