I have a user, who's profile image shows up on Google Chrome...but when he uses Internet Explorer 11...his profile image doesn't show...just a small box with an X in it.
I checked myself, and he is right, on Google Chrome I can see it, but on Internet Explorer 11...it's not there, replaced by a small box with an X in it. I've checked the back-end and the image is there, and is not corrupt. So...what could the issue be?
Thank you
When did they upload it?
When the forum was just installed. They were a select few that were part of the test crew.
What's the URL of the avatar in question?
Wow...I apologize, I never got the notification on this response...
The URL is...
http://ariesgamesandminis.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=122;type=avatar
The forum is off limits to guests, can't see what's going on.
Yes, we have it setup that way as to avoid some spammers. Feel free to make an account & let me know the user name, I can delete it later if necessary.
*shrug* Sorry, but no, I'm not going to create an account. If you'd like help troubleshooting please either create an account yourself or make it available to guests. I have had enough spam over the years with my doing that and people claiming they would remove the guest account before and then not doing so.
No problem, I completely understand...I'll make an account & shoot over the details later via PM.
Thank you!
Wait... How does preventing guests from READING avoid spammers? ???
Long story, it's a carryover from the forums I replaced using SMF. I know it doesn't now, and I can change the settings to allow guests to view, but I like it like this.
You do realize that Google and other search engines can not catalog your site if guests can not view?
Yes, I did know that, but the forums were originally designed for registered members only with no guest access either. I'm ok with that...the forums were an afterthought when creating my website which was the main concern at the time. That's fully cataloged by search engines.
Dragon41673, do you still need help with this? as you havent bumped this in a month I will mark it as solved for now.
Yes I do...I sent Kindred a PM but never heard back.
I'll PM you the info if you're able to look in to it.
Thanks
sorry... this time of year is crazy busy. I have about 5 PMs that I have to respond to at some point soon...
I wouldnt advise sending me a pm it will go straight into the bin ... get too many asking for support so i just bin them sorry
Ok...thanks for checking though Runic!
Kindred...I'll send another PM over to you as I just changed the password since I never heard back.
Actually Runic, in this case, I actually had asked Dragon to do so. :) but things between Turkey day and now have been busy.
Kindred, read his post below my asking if he still needs help, sentence after he said you never got back to him. :P
Dragon, Kindred will help you may take some time (hes getting old) but he will :)
It's alright...I appreciate any help I can get. Even with this delay, the support here has been a hundred fold better than the support I ever got on Kunena Forums support, which was the main reason I dumped that forum software.
oops... it's getting late. :D

Do you remember the time difference for me and you? :P

Has this issue been resolved?
Have you tired the following
https://support.google.com/toolbar/answer/9245?hl=en
Also have you tried to setup an account with Google plus and have the image there.
I know for a fact you need to allow the permission set on Google for some image to display correctly.
Also have you tried setting up the image elsewhere like picassa or photo bucket?
It might show up with these sites.
I would clear the cache out and re set internet explorer again.
i would think you have add on disabled for this to happen.
Bruce please read the responses again, this has not been solved but Kindred is working on it for him, also your suggestions would not fix the problem.

Shark, the issue is not with Google, it's with Internet Explorer. In Google Chrome, ALL images show just fine. In Internet Explorer, some profile images such as the one in this case, don't show properly. They simply show as a small box with an X in it.
All of the images are stored locally within SMF files as it is an uploaded Avatar.
Kindred...any word on this? It is still unresolved.
The point I was originally trying to get to was whether they were old avatars or not, and whether the server actually had the proper identification on them or not, since newer uploaded avatars should have the proper identification for them.
And failing that, you can comment out this line in index.php:
header('X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff');
Thanks Arantor. I don't know why, but I'll chalk it up to being hosted by GoDaddy since it seems my issues with them are endless. I had tried this before (3 times), but it didn't work...yet today when I re-uploaded the same avatar...guess what is now showing!
Marking this solved.
geez, man.. I am sorry.
I a getting too old... lol. I completely forgot about this.
I got hit with a bunch of PMs and it went to my second page.
I am embarrassed
:-[
It's alright...as long as I got it fixed, I'm thankful. It was a minor annoyance issue, but I do appreciate your efforts. Thank you
