RESOLVED: Broken Images on Different Languages
« on: January 27, 2010, 07:23:54 PM »
At least it's made me memorize which button is which:



Many of the forum images of this type (except for the options image) are broken, at least on my browser.  They weren't a week ago.  Anyone else experiencing this?

I think that most of the broken image links are in CN which uses a different theme than the rest of the fora.

I've had the same problem for months, and have bitched about it as well, but nothing has been done about it.  Not a big deal though because Firefox uses the alt text as it's intended unlike other browsers (apparently) so there's no memorization required.

LOL.  Btw, what happened on August 30th that I should nevar forget?  I can't even forget things if I have never heard of them.

FES was hacked and we lost everything.  Except there was a backup from the host that was recent, which ended up only losing a few hours worth of posts.  Still, we should never forget.

Set your language to US English. The "English" option directly above "Spanish".

@Raiku: I don't think it was ever discovered who did it.  It was last year, 2009.

I thought we lost 2 days of posts in the hacking. Also, I thought it was Al Qaeda.

I LOVE YOU!  Not really.  But thanks so much helping me get the images to work!  There's three English options, and two have the same name...  Very confusing.

You would wait another hour and a half for me to see this thread, only to find that Tom beat me to it.

Also, use Firefox. Even if the images don't work, it displays the alternate text as a link and not just a blank image.

Firefox is a browser. It does not work in a browser. It will always use alt text on any site that isn't loading an image for you.

That doesn't change anything.  And regardless if you read the rest of the thread, the solution has already been discovered.

False, because that's the theme I had before and I had already tried switching between themes before.  The problem was there weren't any images tied to the "English UTF8" namespace.  I have no idea how or why my board language got changed, but that was most certainly the problem.

Not false, it's working fine for me. No "fix" or whatnot. Had the issue, switched themes, and all was well.

Regardless, that did not fix the problem for myself, and Raiku either evidently.  Just because it worked for you doesn't not necessarily mean that is the only solution, nor that the problem that you had and what I've had for months was even the same thing.

Nor I.
Nor my phone.

It's probably a cache error or something but I'm far too lazy to try and fix it on my end.
