Photos not appearing

[iansoady]

I host my photos on my own webspace as I had bad experiences with photobucket. However I can't get them to appear here. For instance:



The direct link is: http://www.iansoady.org.uk/images/hammers.jpg

Is it perhaps because it's an http not https?

[weeksy]

Absolutely no idea... it's certainly possible but unlikely. http and or https should both be OK. Although i'd prefer https

I looked yesterday too and have no clue why mate

I can see hammers...?

[weeksy]

I can see hammers...?

weirdly i can't.... Although often that's my work firewall, but i got the impression some other people could see them yesterday too and i couldn't.

[iansoady]

They've appeared here now! But not in my original post...... Weirder and weirder.

ps I note some other people's images aren't appearing either eg viewtopic.php?p=50309#p50309

I can see their image, but people have had issues linking images from Amazon and also Wikipedia, i don't see either of them being down to the forum, but down to those particular sites blocking off site linking, which isn't that uncommon.

I can't imagine that's my problem as it's my own web space and when I link to images on it from elsewhere they come up OK.

Could it be something to do with my (and others') browsers?

Easy way to find out.

So it fails for me in Chrome...

It works in Internet Explorer, but took a little time to load.

But works instantly in Firefox.

So....
I'm using firefox 84.02 on Windows 10 Pro with adblock & ghostery enabled. I might try switching them off first then give edge a try as I'm not keen on chrome.

As it happens I was having problems with firefox on another forum (not like this) so had stuck with an earlier version till recently.

[iansoady]

Hmmm.

Not adblock or ghostery. But image appears in edge so a brower issue - I must look at firefox settings. Any clues?

Possibly (in Chrome) because it's not an https link, and even if you try the https link the SSL certificate on that domain is invalid (either out of date or non-existent). IIRC Chrome won't allow http sources into an https site (RTTL is https).

Different browsers will have different rules about that.

[iansoady]

Yep I've never bothered with a certificate as I don't host anything sensitive (unless pics of hammers turn you on).

I've now tried chrome and the photos appear. Odd.

not for me ... not in Chrome anyway.
