Photo display problems

Post by chrisov4 » Tue Jul 26, 2016 7:55 am

Hope this in right place.
I seem to be having problems viewing some peoples photos and get a display like this Image

When you tap on a picture you get same but on black background.

This only seems to happen with some posts all others display correctly.

Using an S6 phone.
Any thoughts gratefully received.

Hi Chris, I read your post but don't know what the problem is I'm afraid but at least wanted you to know that you're not being ignored. I will make a couple of suggestions to start with

I had a look at the post you quoted and I'm not sure what platform Keith uses for his pics but will drop him a pm to see if he can tell me (he's normally helpful so I'm sure he will) it might be that you have settings which are not compatible with that format. I would think the problem is at your end rather than forum settings though.

EDIT: I can now see that Keith uses photobucket and I have had issues myself viewing photobucket images from time to time, I've no idea what the problem is with them but for me it was intermittent so it might even be signal strength inhibiting them when you try to view them but that is simply a guess

You said you were viewing it on an S6 phone, have you tried viewing it on a PC / laptop in case it's phone settings? I've looked at the forum settings and cannot see anything that I THINK would cause it and also at my own settings but there is nothing there affecting viewing photos which can be changed.

I'll have a google as well later to see if it's anything simple

i think it's something to do with photobucket because as I said I've seen similar problems in the past even on my laptop

Seems fine on laptop and also on phone using main internet site.
Sorry forgot to say viewing via tapatalk when having problems.
Looks more like a photobucket / tapatalk incompatability?
