Trouble displaying images here in the forum?

Post by JFR » Sat Nov 11, 2017 12:32 am

There have been a few reported cases here in the forums of images failing to open for some members. The reason is that the forum software occasionally can only display images one or a few at a time. It is easily overcome but can be a little disconcerting. If one of the teaser or other images fails to open, instead just showing the file name of the image in bold print, try one of the following:

1. Press your browser's Reload button to reload the page. On most browsers, the Reload is identified by a circular arrow and is located near the upper left corner of the display panel. You might need to try reloading more than once.

2. The second method is to "Right-Click" on the bolded file name of the image and select "Open Image in New Tab." The wording may be a little different if you are using an OS other than Windows 10. Your browser will open another tab under the one you already have open and display the image.

In 9.5+ out of 10 cases the image will just open normally but if you have had trouble, try one of the above. If nothing works at all, please let me know.

In Firefox, right clicking gives you the option of 'Reload Image' or similar. I have had similar issues in other fora (forums?).
