Rooster_Ties Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Berigan, still can't see your Avatar. It still says "Image Hosted by tripod www.tripod.com". Funny thing, though, is that I can right-click on your Avatar (the one I can't see), and can get the URL for it, which is.... http://members.tripod.com/~Anne_F/fungarg.gif And then I can past that address into my brouser, hit 'return', and I can see it!! Looks like a gargoil/bat kinda thing, with wings and green eyes, and a tail. Yes, it's animated. Hmmm... Wonder if I can post that picture as an IMG... Yup, I can see it when I post it as an IMG, and bring up the thread. (Or least it worked when I did 'preview post'.) Not important, but I'm guessing you're tired me me mucking up your other threads periodically about this. ========== HMMMMMMMMM......... Now THAT's interesting.... I just clicked on the link above (where I spelled out the URL of your Avatar), and a new window popped up with the "Image Hosted by tripod www.tripod.com" image, which looks like this.... http://members.tripod.com/adm/interstitial/remote.gif Does that give any clues??? ========= Now that's even more interesting - cuz when I did another 'preview post', now the Avatar image (the first IMG above) doesn't show, and I can only see the "Image Hosted by..." thing again.... Now I'm even more confused.... Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 9, 2003 Author Report Posted May 9, 2003 (edited) FYI, now that I've actually created the thread, I can NOT see the first IMG above. Both IMG's look the same, i.e. "Image Hosted by..." Edited May 9, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 9, 2003 Author Report Posted May 9, 2003 I can see A.B.'s attached image just fine, looks like the gargoil/bat thing, and animates just fine. Both IMG's in my original post still look like the "Image Hosted by..." thing... Quote
Claude Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Uploading instead of linking the avatar would solve the problem. I thought the tripod error image was meant to be the avatar Quote
BERIGAN Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Now I am curious, does no one see my avatar? Is it just an X??? If they could be a bit bigger, hint, hint, we all could choose some really cool stuff!!!! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 10, 2003 Author Report Posted May 10, 2003 I thought the tripod error image was meant to be the avatar So it isn't just me. What do other people see???? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 I believe it's a bandwidth issue. If too many people access the image on any given day, tripod starts restricting the flow of data. Try uploading the avatar instead of using a link to it. Quote
BERIGAN Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 (edited) So, I guess this avatar has been just for my amusement for the last week! Now the tree should be falling in all forests, and making lots of noise, heard by everyone... Edited May 10, 2003 by BERIGAN Quote
shawn·m Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 I believe it's a bandwidth issue. If too many people access the image on any given day, tripod starts restricting the flow of data. Try uploading the avatar instead of using a link to it. I ran into this problem when using Village Photo as host. They cough up more bandwidth for a fee, and I’d rather not tax Organissimo server space with my attached images, but I guess I’m just too cheap. Besides, uploading the Live At the Meat House cover and Berigan’s censored seniors is akin to public service, right? Quote
