Myst42 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I have this issue with certain sites I can be a bit a of a lurker sometimes Every once in a while I look at those image sharing threads even though I haven't played Skyrim in a while, and my last post in one of them was ages ago. But from a few months I stopped since I can't see shit Everyone is posting from a site "postimage.org" and all I get is red "x" 's for preview and a 404 when trying to open the image manually It's very freaking frustrating Tried another browser, tried another PC, nothing Does one need to sign in to be able to see? Is it an antivirus, firewall thing? Tried disabling my antivirus temporarily too, no results Any ideas please?
myuhinny Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Have you tried copying the link and trying to paste it into a new search bar? Maybe the place they are linking to is like imgur.com most of the time imgur.com doesn't appear correctly but if you copy the link address and then paste it into a new search bar it will bring the picture up.
Nergui Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 What country are you in? It is possible you might be in a situation where you're caught in a "Do not allow connections from this IP range" or "Do not allow connections to this IP range" due to local or international politics or some other absudity. Check the image link with one of those sites where you can check if a site is down or not. I use http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
Mr. private Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Its just that the image host has removed the image. Dont worry its not you computer,internet or country. This is what i found on http://imgur.com/: How long do you keep the images?As long as images are getting at least 1 view every 6 months, they will stick around forever. After that, your image may be removed to create more space for newer images.
fizzybutt Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I get the same issues with postimage or whichever it is that a few people are using. If you can't rightclick it and open it up in a new tab then you might want to clear your cache. Or you might be in one of the areas that website is restricted.
Chronotime Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 ok this is the prob i run across it so often. I work with lots of sites and have found image host sites can be a nightmare. many work hre or there bur the most varied and useable image site is imgur. this is used at 100s of sites with no probs. ihave used all of hem. also gyazo comes in handy least usable ones are lookpic/ dont use, and photobucket useless any probs if can help ask im new here but been around 2 decades now. tc C

Chrome but I tried Explorer too and nothing happens, a while ago, it worked, for a few of them... sometimes... but now it doesn't Perhaps Firefox, but I don't have it installed right now What country are you in?

Check the image link with one of those sites where you can check if a site is down or not. I use http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ Don't think is country as I've seen a few images in the past, but it went from buggy to no images at all, and site is obviously not down as people keep posting from it Its just that the image host has removed the image.

It's not time either Here Post from today Skyrim Counterpart Can't see shit 1 More thing I have addblock enabled But disabling it did nothing either
mkprovince Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Are the images the only thing that got blocked or something? I use Firefox and there's no problem here. Adblock (or anything similar as I use Ghostery) doesn't block pictures unless you have to go through some sort of blocked site to access them.
Myst42 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Not sure... I guess so, since I can actually "access the site" (see 2nd pic)
nonusnomeni Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 still have that problem dunno for help i remember i have similar problem with chrome didn't see some pictures(like on pic1) which i was see without problem using firefox... my solution was delete chrome and anything connected to GOOshit
Emberheart Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Not sure... I guess so, since I can actually "access the site" (see 2nd pic) The site and the actual domain where it is uploaded often are two entirely different addresses. It's entirely possible that the site where the images are actually uploaded is blocked while the main page isn't. Or your country, sometimes there's so much malignant traffic from a certain country, say east europe or russia that an image site just blocks them, not caring much to lose some customers if the majority of users comes from other areas of the world.
myuhinny Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I looked at the link and can see all of ao2thend pictures. I know awhile back I was having trouble on a different site some things were not working correctly/showing up and it turned out I had blocked something on the site through ghostery but then I went through the list turning a few on at a time till I found which one it was and then went back and turned the other ones back off. Have you tried using the search bar and searching for the loverslab link and then clicking on proxy to see if something is being blocked? If you have something like zonealarm make sure to go through the list it has to make sure it doesn't have something blocked. Check addons/extensions and see if any of those is doing it.
badbat111 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 could be you have a blocker active thats blocking pics something like adblocker of something else check your addons adblock might do that sometimes
