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?

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.

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?

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.

assuming that the website is valid against the doctype it declares, which gelbooru is not - check everything against the w3c validator, you'll see for yourself. issues with complying to the doctype's spec will cause the browser to flip into quirks mode where rendering is entirely unpredictable, and in that circumstance it is *completely* the website's fault for how it renders.

for instance, the forum list:
http://validator.w3.org/check?ur...octype=Inline&group=0

the main page:
http://validator.w3.org/check?ur...agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3

etc.

Almost NO websites actually have perfect HTML. I've yet to see any outside of w3 its self.
