this is the worst site possible

[Harry WilkesParticipant @harrywilkes58467]

Trying the same image on my tablet that was successful on my laptop

OK I’m able to add text below the image and had the wrap choices appear but I’m not able to drag the corners

A quick note [it might as well be here as anywhere]: I see the Cookie icon has moved, from bottom-left to bottom-right … thus overlaying the other ‘privacy’ one.

Hi MichaelG, I noticed that, but if you hoover over the square white area of the privacy one, it will reveal the privacy and terms tabs, don’t know how easy that is on your phone though.

Michael, I have noticed that some of your images just appear as  text ie. IMG_9214 but the Cookie and ReCapcha icons seem to have merged bottom right

It seems to show OK for me, another quirk of the system…

Hello all, it is nice to be back. After days of not being to access the site at all. I was pleasantly surprised to find I can actually log-in.

Of course this may be just a one off.

I too have the two Icons superimposed on each other. Is that the fix?

Regards

Gray,

Harry, John and Nick

 

Having discussed this issue previously with Jason, I remain ‘reasonably confident’ that the pictures will appear, as-if-by-magic, in the fullness of time.

If they don’t then I may as well give up posting images … because I am only doing what the site says is acceptable.

Yes, John …that’s a crop from a screenshot, which I inserted to illustrate what I was describing.

It seems to be taking a lot of Fullness this time, still not showing for me.

[Ian PParticipant @ianp]

What is ‘it’ and what do you mean by Fulness?

A serious question

Michael re IMG_9214 what is the file format of the file ?

It’s .png … the default for an iPad screenshot

Nor me, when my missing images have eventually appeared, it’s been minutes, at most maybe an hour or so, rather than days.

I’m not sure this proves anything at all, but I was just having a look at two adjacent posts, one with an image showing, and Michael’s where they don’t; Really I suppose it’s just showing the page how to display.
This is from Inspect Element in Opera.

I’m not really familiar with coding, but it’s noticeable that on Harry’s post, the internal URL of the image includes the post number.

Whereas in Michael’s, and presumably mine, it just shows temp

I did try copying the URL, and replacing “temp” with the post number, but that didn’t work

When I tried with the URL from Harry’s post, the image displayed fine.

The errant .jpg (yf7ckxye4i63f7cxcopau7fgfhh69u8z.jpg) might be hiding somewhere on the server, but I wouldn’t know how to search for it.

Back to an earlier post; would it be appropriate to amend the title of this topic, so visitors don’t keep seeing the Worst Site comment?

Well done, Bill … You’re getting somewhere, even if the Developers appear not to be.

OK, so before anyone else mentions it, assuming you have again posted an iPad screenshot in .png format.

.png seems to be accepted as your image is showing OK in your post above mine.

Using the same method as previously, it looks like your .png is converted by the forum software, and the post number has been correctly inserted in the internal URL

Again I’m not sure how much it proves, other than .png is acceptable, and it’s converted to.jpg for display/storage.

Sounds like one of the problems I had.  Try telling your Browser to delete cookies for site http://www.model-engineer.co.uk

Shouldn’t be difficult:   with Firefox, open the home page and click the padlock symbol in the address bar.    Click on ‘Clear cookies and Site data’.

Other browsers provide the same function by other means – ask google.

I was also locked out entirely like Graham.

Both issues caused by a cookie bug, believed fixed, that left incorrect cookies on some client computers.

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Unless I deliberately convert them, Bill … all my screenshots will be png and all my photos from the i-devices will be jpeg

Those are the defaults for iOS/iPadOS

I have the facility to resize and to convert the file-format, but I am not generally inclined to so do … simply because the forum claims to handle png and has demonstrated that ability [albeit slowly sometimes].

You mean change an OP’s thread title to suit a hijack?

I sure hope that doesn’t catch on.

[Harry WilkesParticipant @harrywilkes58467]

Micheal Bill I’ve had problems with posting pnp images just prove a point Michael can you convert one of the no show images from pnp to jpeg and retry

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

No, Harry … but, just for you,  I will convert a png

png converted to 99% jpeg using CropSize

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

It’s a very simple process … but I don’t want to keep using it for the convenience of a forum which claims to do the job itself.

Definitely dont change the title. Its threads like worst site and comments constructive etc that are keeping the forum going. It would be very quiet without them!
