"Good Change" is good,  Chet...

[Old Man]

Hi Chet I see you've changed the "look" of the site. Everything is OK except for photos and I think my avatar. Beside my name at the top of the page I think my avatar should appear but I only see a box with a red X in it. On the post about the vacuum tanks I only got the 1st photo. The rest are all boxes with red X's in them. I notice if I click on the "title" of the photo I get a dialog box up that asks me if I want to open this file. I click again and the photo downloads. No problem really just the site didn't use to do it. Any ideas?  (I see my avatar is missing from this post)

Old Man,

I am seeing your avatar.  Your browser caches old files so you may have to force a refresh.  Try hitting the refresh button on your browser and see if the problem goes away.  In the extreme you might have to delete old web pages.  I just finished and will poke around to check for any additional problems.  I know for some reason the small picture view from Franks last post didn't work.  But I didn't see it either with the old forum.  I hope this is an isolated issue.

I will check the new forum with a couple of other operating systems and browsers.  I have a few different ones available or at least the major ones.  Apple, Linux, Windows XP - 7, and 8.1, FoxPro and Safari for windows.

Ian,

That's good to hear, I have spent a little time this evening working out some minor setup issues.  I did find a few.  But things seem to be working OK now.

Good morning Chet    F5 refresh doesn't change anything. Doing a "Disk Cleanup" also didn't change anything. Deleted your site from my "Favorites" and added your "new" site and that didn't change anything. Rebooted my computer after doing those things and that didn't change anything. Your avatar and the test photo show right away. No other person's avatar ,including my own, shows. Just a box with a red X. However as you can see posting works fine and I can see any other photos if I want by clicking on the photo's blue title. Don't go out of your way to fix this. I can use the site OK and may stumble on the problem in the next few days.

This forum is now using PNG thumbnail formats rather than GIF or JPG.  PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics (PNG) PNG images support a wide range of features, including lossless compression, a wide range of color support, and more advanced transparency options than its predecessors. The Portable Network Graphics format was created as a response to patent controversies surrounding the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).  It was introduced in 1996. But you don't care about all that.

My first thought is that your computer is not recognizing the PNG file format.  Probably an easy fix once we determine what needs to be turned on or off.  Please do not post this info but email to me what type of computer you are using and the system.  i.e. Acer laptop running Windows 2000.  Then I will research a solution for you.
