Blue Box?
Posted on: 07/19/12 04:32PM ok so just recently All the photo's I click on load up fine other than I can't see the picture itself all I see is an outline and in the middle a little blue box with a "?" in it. I see all the comments and everything else but not any of the pictures.
I'm using the iPod by the way any clues to why this is happening? |

Posted on: 07/19/12 06:54PM Does this happen with EVERY post? If it's only happening with a few, it may be images too large to fit in the iPod's memory.
Does it happen with images on other sites? Which browser are you using? I know many third-party browsers for the iPod Touch (which are often aimed more at the iPhone) have features to limit data usage, which may prevent large images from loading. This may have accidentally been turned on. Does it happen from the same connection on a non-mobile device? If you can connect to the same wireless access point with a laptop or desktop computer, and it does the same thing, it may be caused by a slow internet connection, which would cause images to load slowly. |

Posted on: 07/19/12 07:04PM Generic answer...Try Reset on Safari menu tick all boxes and hit Reset button. Trust all our certificates. Find a faster connection.
As an aside, do we even fully support Safari or I-Pod? |

Posted on: 07/19/12 07:54PM Yes, it does. Websites generally do not need to be coded in a way to "support" any given browser. If a website works in most browsers, but doesn't work correctly in a single specific browser, it's usually the browser's fault, not the website's. The same is true for all mobile browsers. All browsers are supposed to render any HTML document the same way. If a browser does not, then it is the browser's fault, not the website's.
Yes, Safari, both the desktop version and the iOS version, support Gelbooru fully. |

I've yet to see any outside of w3 its self. |
