See photos don't load?
« on: July 04, 2021, 03:05:30 PM »
Why can't I see all the photos on the  Railwire and what can I do to get them to load?
Using Android Google Chrome.

For what it is worth...I have the same issue on Windows Edge on PC and images are set to be allowed in my permission settings. It appears to be only some photos, not all. Not sure what the cause is...I am guessing it is another security setting that I cant find. If I click on the "broken photo" icon in the post, the photo opens up full screen. It seems to happen with photos NOT hosted by The Railwire...

I appreciate the help, but none of the above are applicable to Chrome on Android. I don't even see the same screens that are posted. Very frustrating. If I use a different browser (Firefox) it works, but I use Chrome for everything.

Don't know what else to say. The first link I posted was from the great Google itself, for Chrome on Android.

Maybe one of these?

This way worked for me... I think David's method is for desktop but I could be wrong.

The Railwire is not your personal army.  :trollface:

You could try this.

I quick check to see if your problem is the same as the one that has been discussed on TRW at least half a dozen times:  If the URL for all the photos you can see starts with "https", and for all the photos that you can't see it starts with "http",  (no "s") then your problem is a variant to the problem everybody else had.

Usually for me its 'guests can not view attachments' if I dont log in.

The other one I have issue with is the in line expandable images that won't load the large version.. but if I let it sit for 5-10 seconds it loads.

Not sure if that helps..

Another reason I just noticed:
I have the NoScript Extension running on my Firefox, and in one of my threads, both Spookshow and DKS had added a few images with 2 different no-load issues.

Spookshow's image was a 'slow load' that I had to wait for.

But DKS attached/linked 2 images that referenced a googlesindication.com script, so my browser blocked those images it until I temp allowed that script.
