Missing Images

skastel · Nov 6, 2002, 05:55 PM

Everytime I load the main forum, I either can't see the

-off image or the

on one, happens probably 75% of the time when I load the page. I ussually just right click>show picture and it pops right up so it doesn't really bother me, just thought you might want to know. It happens to me @work and @home, which is the only reason I mentioned it.

well thats an interesting problem and one ive never heard anyone else mention, but we have been having some forum issues lately. If Shaith wishes to give a possible answer to that one perhaps he will. I really dont have any possible reasons why it would be happening on that specific graphic. are you running win XP and IE6? first thing would be to try clearing your cache or a forced control refresh. then you could set your IE to refresh every visit to the page. (as long as you arent on dialup).

I would also like to say that I cant really speak much about it atm but we are going to be having some quite considerable changes soon on Driverheaven, which, will make sure the forum runs smoother and the bug list should drop quite considerably.

I really dont wish to comment about the forum changes just at the moment until nearer the time, but it will be in the very near future, and will be beneficial to everyone.

do u have a estimate time on whent e changes will take effect?

Zardon · Nov 6, 2002, 08:34 PM

within the next month or so.

It's odd, but I have the exact same image problem, and I'm running a Radeon 8500 - yet my wife's computer never has that problem and she's running an Nvidia.

What video card are you running? If it's an ATi card, it might be something to forward to the guys at ATi.

It's an IE6sp1 bug apparently (Or so I read somewhere on the net) and only happens when you install WinXP-SP1 over a previously installed copy of WinXP.
I installed a slipstreamed copy of WinXP-SP1 inside a virtual machine and the bug it's not there.

I have the same problem and it happens on several different sites. Not a DH specific problem.
Will do some researches, hopefully someone found out a solution already.

Shaith · Nov 11, 2002, 07:48 AM

Nope, not limited to SP1 installed over the top etc - I'm on a clean install of XP and IE and SP1 and it does it to me all the time on sites (including DH) - it's annoying too.

skastel · Nov 11, 2002, 03:32 PM

Ok I started having the problem with other sites, not just driverheaven, shortly after I posted. I'm not sure what was causing it, I emtpied cache's and all that jazz but to no avail.
Well anyway I did a re-install two days ago, and now it seems to not be a problem. I did the re-install after a little too much oc'ing corrupted some system files, luckily I did a repair and backed up all the data first. But after that format, re-install with SP1 slipstreamed. No problems YET. We'll see...
Oh yeah and I am also running an 8500, but now I'm on the 6200's and that might have something to do with it. And I recently started using Avantbrowser, so perhaps that has something to do with it, although it's really just IE6SP1.

I'm having to hit the Refresh button on nearly every page if I want to see the icon indicators in the left column. There are other icons/images not loading during the initial loading of each page, too.

i had the same problem at work, on win98se/ie6. but it fixed itself somehow

***craig5320*** · Nov 14, 2002, 10:31 PM

could it be to do with the amount of people trying to get a file at the size time? like if 50 users all are trying to download the same file? i get at least one image, usually the PM buttons or avatars not loading the first time round?

they all come up for me... course, it could be due to the fact that i have more bandwidth than the server

I've set DH to be availble offline, hoping that cache's more of the images? so far more are displaying but there are still some missing, hopefully it will fill up

I'm having the same problem with my sig. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Mostly not.

Any help is appreciated.

Judas · Oct 26, 2003, 05:55 AM

...... those images don't load for me...clean XP Pro install..... Also, on the front page.... at some given times..... random amount of images will load no problem...others are just x'ed...... and i've never mentioned this problem because it's completely..... well....random..... at any given moment..... it'll load it incorrectly... even after viewing it five minutes ago....

Your .sig is hosted off site - nothing we can do about that

I didn't know there was a way to host it on-site.

I changed from my free ISP site and it seems fine now.

Logla · Oct 27, 2003, 05:11 PM

I used to think this problem only happened to me. It only ever started happening though when I OC'd my CPU to 3GHz or above. So I assumed that it would not be a good idea to start going that high, backed off and rebuild windows. For the most part, that worked. Then it started happening all the time mainly on DH. I contacted my ISP as I was having problems with the sig images of one or two other members and they told me to enter their proxy server into IE. I did this and all is now ok.(for the meantime)
