STW and picture problems

Is anyone having problems where on some some or none of the pictures are showing in people’s posts this week? There doesn’t seem to be any particular pattern to it, I might get all the pictures in one post, but only get 1 in another (the weekend rides and Raw NBD being 2 examples). It all seemed to be fine about a week to 10 days ago, and it’s happening on my iPad and iPhone

Edit: just checked 'happy dogs' thread, most pictures missing.

Had that yesterday, pic showed on my Android phone but not on Windows. Rebooted laptop and they showed again.
Today, the edit toolbar has no insert image button Screenshot 2024-03-12 120149

and if you click the missing button you get this

Not moaning, just trying to give the devs a few more data points.

@onewheelgood - I have no idea what your message was about as it was some words with big blank gaps between the paragraphs.

Similar issues here on Windows using Firefox browser, Acer laptop. But on the same computer in Chrome the pics are all loading. On Android phone all pics loading Firefox and Chrome.

Hi All,

I appreciate all the information, and will be looking into this, if anyone else notices this issue then please state which device and which browser, this should help me identify and resolve the issue.

Thanks

Opera on Android had this issue for me. Looks to be related to images which are stored on STW rather than external e.g. Flickr

The thing is though, even as a paid subscriber the site is just very slow and unwieldy without an ad blocker running.

Edit: sorry that was complainey without any positive ideas. Do the ad networks you pick absolutely have to run the amount of JavaScript that they do? Are there alternatives that might prioritise page performance a little more?

Chrome on Android 13 using a Google Pixel 4a & I can't upload pics.

I get a weirdly formatted upload box & then when the progress percentage reaches 100% I get an error telling me something like the jpeg format is not recognised.

Sorry for the wishy-washy description. I can run through it if needed & provide a better description.

I've been having this issue with Opera One on Windows 10. Ad blocker status doesn't seem to affect it.

Trying to list some bits on the Classifieds and it won't upload pics, blue bar showing % complete loads to 100% then just sits there.

Now I annoyingly get STW videos I’ve watched before autoplaying in the forum which is rather distracting. I guess I’m back to no pictures again.

Also I can't see (Android phone, Edge) any images in the Rockshox Flight Attendant review.

Android and Firefox. Seem to have lost the ability to upload pics. Where the image icon used to be there is a box that says "visual". Clicking it doesn't do anything. Somewhat ironic that a forum supposedly used by lots of IT experts is the worst by far of any I use for uploading pics.

So I noticed this a week or so ago, using Opera on Android and no photos in the forum were appearing. By default it has an ad blocker and it's switched on.

Disabling it for this site sorted the issue.

Turning off ads does work but reloading this single thread with ads shows that Opera catches 240 ads....on this single thread!
