Have you tried clearing Chrome's cache?

There seems to be a glitch in VideoHelp's vBulletin itself Some minutes ago, the smiley-code :cool: was N0T automagically translated to forum.videohelp.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

sorry intracude, I don't use Chrome. if i could post screenshots of the webpages showing my successful posted images, i would (and don't i feel like a fool saying how they were successfull during that session while when later, when i log off and/or closer for the day and come back later, there's no longer there) ...anyway...but now none of the images are showing...and my browser is hung on every refresh or newpage. i have to refresh several times before it releases ? so i don't get it. also, another bug has plagued me..every time i want to log in, at the user name and password box, both input boxes are blank. that is.. when i move my mouse cursor over to it, i can't see my user name as i type, same for my password. this has been happening in both opera and firefox. just signed in, blindly...couldn't even see a cursor or i-beam. scarey. my virus swuites say i'm all clean. i don't know. anyway. also, when i post an image, using the [ ] image icon, i get two different dialogs for posting an image. for instance, in opera, i get a dialog that starts off with an [http:// . . . . . ] while in firefox, i get a completely different dialog box with additional options. so, if i post my image (jpeg or png) in firefox, i can see it while in firefox as long as i am in firefox for that session. once i log off and/or close out of firefox and/or come back to it the next time or day, the images are no longer viewable--i am presented with only the textual post. and in opera, i can only post an image(s) if i click on the botton link instead of the top links' [ ] icon, the one that is recommended to post images directly inside the post rather than showing the attachment version. i don't know what's going on these days at videohelp. its becoming more and more a letdown (a drag) to me with all these glitches i keep experiencing and no resolution everytime i surf to it. it seems to be flash and/or add-ware, redirector of some sort, related. the sad part of this is that, some people get hooked by its claws while some (the savy) know how to get out of it, but i seem to be just plain stuck in all its many forms of claws. anyway, its the only website i seem to have all these problem with. b4 any1 says it...i've already cleared all cashe, cookies, etc., and these issues are still with me. i will try and post a few more images now, this time with firefox. thanks for your comments.

[vhelp]

hmmm..... this is interesting. 1. all my posted text seem to continue posting in one blob. i assure you, they were all in neat paragraphs. 2. now my pics are showing in firefox. i posted these in opera yesterday...saw them, logged out, came back today, and could not see them. but i log in to firefox, and i can see them. sorry, i can't prove to you what i am seeing....i'm in a mystery corner i can't seem to out of.

sorry intracude, I don't use Chrome.

Apologies; I meant clear Opera's cache (which you say you've done).

if i could post screenshots of the webpages showing my successful posted images, i would (and don't i feel like a fool saying how they were successfull during that session while when later, when i log off and/or closer for the day and come back later, there's no longer there) ...anyway...but now none of the images are showing...

Do you have a problem uploading images all the time? With both browsers, or just Opera? The images in this thread don't seem to be on the forum at all. On this site, go to Settings->Attachments(bottom of the menu on the left) and see if they show up there.

What versions of Opera/Firefox are you using? Do you leave your computer running for days/weeks at a time? Do these problem persist after a reboot?

and my browser is hung on every refresh or newpage. i have to refresh several times before it releases ? so i don't get it.

Do you get that behaviour with sites other than VideoHelp? If yes, it could be a problem with you internet connection.

also, another bug has plagued me..every time i want to log in, at the user name and password box, both input boxes are blank. that is.. when i move my mouse cursor over to it, i can't see my user name as i type, same for my password. this has been happening in both opera and firefox. just signed in, blindly...couldn't even see a cursor or i-beam.

Sounds like an OS level (XP) problem. Do you get this problem with other sites that require a username/password?

also, when i post an image, using the [ ] image icon, i get two different dialogs for posting an image. for instance, in opera, i get a dialog that starts off with an [http:// . . . . . ] while in firefox, i get a completely different dialog box with additional options.

Can you see the text "From Computer" and "From URL" on the image dialogue box? Clicking on each switches between the two options. That sounds like the difference you're describing. The forum remembers which one you used before, but a different browser might default to one or the other.

so, if i post my image (jpeg or png) in firefox, i can see it while in firefox as long as i am in firefox for that session. once i log off and/or close out of firefox and/or come back to it the next time or day, the images are no longer viewable

While you're logged in with FF and as soon as you can see the uploaded images in the thread, check Settings->Attachments and see if they show up there. Also check the thread with Opera (not logged in, and with cache cleared). If you can see the images, it would seem the images were uploaded successfully, but then deleted later. If you can't see them with Opera, maybe they were never uploaded properly by FF in the first place.

i am presented with only the textual post. and in opera, i can only post an image(s) if i click on the botton link instead of the top links' [ ] icon, the one that is recommended to post images directly inside the post rather than showing the attachment version. i don't know what's going on these days at videohelp.

You haven't customised how your browsers identify themselves by changing the UserAgent string they send, have you? A while back I experimented with changing the FF UserAgent string to make it appear as Internet Explorer. Doing this completely broke the forum's compose message utility - probably down to browser specific JavaScript.

What about other browser plugins; NoScript, etc?

sorry for the delayed responds..been out of electric since saturday. anyway.

@ intracube

1. i uninstalled opera v9.24 from my c: drive
2. rebooted
3. reinstalled opera v9.24, this time to my e: drive. the cache folder is no longer where it used to be.

4. then, opened this forum's main page and also the forum in separte tabs.
5. although a) i no longer see those annoying re-director, and b) pages load a little faster, c) i can now see my user name and password in the text boxes. however, i seem to have a new problem. when i log in, i have to re-fresh the page twice to see my registered user name, else i can't post.
6. also, all those links you posted above in #4 .. when i click them, they post my images. the url's are showing the forums address, not my computer's. what stumps me is there's no cache or other memory of those pics you mentioned earlier. when i rt-click the image, i get this address of the image: https://forum.videohelp.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9383 for instance.

so, i'm going to try and post a new image and see if my problem is soved thanks to reinstalling opera fresh.

i appreciate you stepping in and trying to help, thank you!

Works in firefox and chrome. I don't like the vbulletin 4 image uploading system. Maybe fixed in newer versions....but it's not that simple to upgrade my custom version.

[vhelp]

i unstalled opera v9.24 completely.

then i downloaded and installed the latest opera v11.52, webpages seem to load realy fast..well, so far. i always find that after a few days or so, i'm back to slow website loads--any website. anyway, i'm ok with this version so far.

also, i can see all the images i posted earlier on all the posts i made in this discussion.

@ baldrick

i realize by now, that the only way to post an image without the Attachment window showing, is to upload your image to another website or your own webspace, then use the url of that webspace and post from the icon that was suggested to post images when you want to directly see the image (not the Attachment window and image) but i'm not sure if others members are actually doing this--they don't mention those details. anyway. the only way i am able to post images "directly" w/out Attachment window is to use the 'hack' method i mentioned above. i hope a the old method can be brought back some day. in any case, thank you for the constant forum board enhancements!

Have you tried clearing Chrome's cache?

Don`t want to be a fly on the wall but images where removed from the webhost ; it may explain the small blanks you reffer as "image"s
