Broken picture in blog

Travel Forums System Talk Broken picture in blog

1. Posted by Old Man At (Budding Member 56 posts) 2d Star this if you like it!

I have used pictures in blogs a lot never had issues. In my latest entry I put an image of a dog I uploaded but it shows up as a broken link icon, with Alt text and caption displaying.

I tried deleting and re-adding. Same result.

Is this perhaps because pictures need to be screened ( to avoid unacceptable behavior) or is it because I perhaps cropped the image to a strange size?

Also normally when I right click on a picture I can open in a new tab and this works (don't ask me why I tried that :( ) but when I tried it on the icon I get an xml snippet whit what seames to be part of error processing code (access denied)

Thank you

It's showing broken in your gallery as well, so it's not a problem with the blog: https://www.travellerspoint.com/photos/stream/photoID/6609685/users/Old%20Man%20At/ - Most probably something went wrong with storing the picture when you uploaded it. If you upload the image again, that has a high chance of just working. If it fails again, there might be something wrong with the image itself - in which case Peter would have to take a look at the technical details.

Is it showing up broken for you? For me it looks fine in the gallery as a thumbnail and also when I click on it, I see the larger picture just fine.

But the suggestion of uploading it again is a good one, I will try that and let you know.

Okay lol.i uploaded the picture again (without deleting the broken one in the gallery) went to the blog to update the reference to the new photo only to see it now display perfectly. So I don't know what you did but your mere gaze seems to have fixed it :)

I see it working now as well. In that case, I guess it was just a temporary hickup with the storage server. Glad it got resolved, in any case! :)
