chirp Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Anyone else having image loading issues on this website? If not, I am not sure why... but I am. hmmm odd. RC.com has the same issue. im wondering if its web wide or perhaps some low level, annoying virus? Edited October 20, 2003 by chirp Quote
Norman_Clyde Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Me too. My digital camera produces images too data dense to download. I've been able to shrink a few, but it's a real pain. Tips from the cc.com regulars have not been very helpful, I think because they have different photo software than I do (I have MGI photosuite and Lexmark Viewing Booth). If anyone with those programs can tell me the most reliable way to de-sharpen images, thereby reducing the file volume to downloadable proportions, I'd like to hear it. Quote

scot'teryx Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Just reduce the image size to 600 X 400 or less You can even do that in MS paint Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 if you're looking to reduce resolution (thus reducing file size), check out http://www.irfanview.com/ batch resizing means you can resize all the images in a particular directory. Quote
Dru Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 i think the problem is some people couldn't see pictures uploaded (screen full of red X's in white boxes), not couldnt upload pictures? Quote
iain Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 images seem to load just fine, I mean, check this out: Quote

To_The_Top Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Notice the leaves on the sides show the water was deeper before the picture was taken. Quote
iain Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I can just see the dude in the car. "Don't worry we can make it no prob" Quote
bunglehead Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Hmm, I've never seen giant hail streak up.. Quote
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 The site seems to be loading real slow and when I click on Gallery I only get the top four photos. From Thrashador's "North Twin" back to Trask's "Fatty Weed" no photos load. Then, When I click on My Gallery none of the photos will load, just the text. And now on the emoticons for this post, most of them are missing WTF!!! Quote
Dru Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 looks OK to me! Â Â but homestarrunner is real slow and i can't seethe marshmellow een cartoon Quote
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Somebody, Anybody click on the gallery and see if all the new photos at the bottom come up. The click on one that does and see if that comes up. I'm just getting the text, The server just quits downloading. Other sites are working fine, so I don't think it is my computer. Also, about half my gremlims have disappeared from the post page. anyone else? Quote
E-rock Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I noticed this problem the last couple of nights with a fast connection. Quote

Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Actually, now I can't even get MSN.com to show it's pictures. Text only. Is it my machine or my internet provider? E-rock, where are you located? Quote
AlpineK Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I'm only getting a couple photos to load in the photo gallery. I don't think it's you Billy. Quote
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 well, good I guess but what gives? Kurt, when you click on the ones that show does any thing other than text come up? Dru, try clicking on one. Also, half of the gremlin/emoticons on this posting page are gone: Anyone else? Quote
Alpinfox Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Â I had the same problem and had to restart my machine. Things are fine now, but if I try to go to the photo gallery, the same thing happens again. Maybe some kind of killer photo in the gallery? Â Weird. Quote
Dru Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 ya i have all the grems and all the pics come up when i click  sounds like your server is overloaded or under virus attack? or it doesn't like heavy rain? Quote
Alpinfox Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Â I blame that goddamned Gollum pic. I bet it's the new GOLLUM VIRUS!!! Â EEEEEeeeekkkk!!!! Quote
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Something similar happened a few months ago everytime I clicked on this one particular Michael layton photo, it wouldn't load and then I couldn't load others and had to restart my machine. I guess later Timmy and Jon posted a notice that their server had been slammed by the I'mDanandyurnot virus or something such like attack from rc.com or whatever. But why wouldn't this affect Dru.
