Website Pictures

I am having trouble viewing pictures and images posted to cache logs. I can view the thumbnails in the galleries for cache sites, but I can not view them in larger format. Was this feature turned off?

what is your brower?

 

can you point us to the cache page? could be they are not there to see any more?

I'm having the trouble will all images. Actually I've noticed that the mapquest maps don't display on the cache home pages anymore either. (It doesn't matter which cache I view.)

Pictures I've posted won't show up, see:

I've tried both INternet Explorer and Firefox.

Actually, after playing around by turning off my firewall (ZoneAlarm 5) the images reappear. When I turn the firewall mack on - no images...

Anyone else experience this? Is there an easy fix?

[+CompuCash]

looks like you have isolated it to your firewall -

 

check through the help and/or settings and see if you can find out what is blocking the images - there is likely a setting for this.

I started off only being able to view the larger image still only at a thumbnail size. Now all I can view are the thumbnails on the cache logs. In the travelbug logs, I can view the larger images just fine. I have tried it with my firewall off and no change.

remember that images are stored at a separate domain... img.Groundspeak.com, I believe. You may need to tell your firewall to allow stuff from that server to sneak through.

I had the same problem after installing eTrust EZ Armor about a week ago. I emailed their customer support, but they took a while to get back to me, so I ended up finding a solution myself: I dumped IE and Netscape and switched to Firefox a few days ago, and all the missing images and maps and icons reappeared.

 

After this, I did finally get a reply from eTrust. They said this:

 

"I infer from your mail that pictures are not showing on the web pages if firewall is enabled. With reference to your request, please turn off the �Ad-Blocking� and �cookie control� in the EZ firewall( it is on �privacy� option), restart the computer and verify the issue."

 

I didn't try it, though, since the problem had already been solved by switching browsers. Does ZoneAlarm 5 have some similar option you could try?

Hi,

Thanks, this was exactly the problem. The images are part of a java script that ZoneAlarm assumed was a banner ad. In ZoneAlarm, I had to allow the banner ads for the geocaching.com site. This fixed the problem. (The site pages load much faster now as well!)

 

Thanks for your help!
