chirp Posted October 20, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman_Clyde Posted October 20, 2003 Share 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.

scot'teryx Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Just reduce the image size to 600 X 400 or less You can even do that in MS paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa_Eagle Posted October 20, 2003 Share 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.

Dru Posted October 20, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 looks OK to me! Â Â but homestarrunner is real slow and i can't seethe marshmellow een cartoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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.

Dru Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Â I blame that goddamned Gollum pic. I bet it's the new GOLLUM VIRUS!!! Â EEEEEeeeekkkk!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted October 21, 2003 Share 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.
