I've been getting this alot everywhere. On smilies, post buttons. Everywhere on GTPlanet. What's the problem? I tried restarting, deleting all my cookies and files. Virus scanning, Spyware scanning. Changing styles. What is there left to do?:confused:

I had a lot of problems earlier today. Pictures not loading, a lot of "server can't be found" messages, etc. But I couldn't tell if it was my end or GTP's.
 
Moving to Questions and Comments...

Sometimes a browser can get hung up on loading a given image. What you should do is right-click the image and choose "Load Image" (or something like that). It forces the browser to go and get that particular image, and can often override the hangup. Then the image is cached, and you're laughing.

It's worked for me in the past, anyway.
 
Did you recently download/install Windows XP Service Pack 1? It is a known problem that something about SP1 will prevent random images from loading on all websites. If you do experience the problem, do as Giles suggested so you will be sure to see the image.
 
I think I have Service Pack 1, when I right click on it. I can't do anything, other than save it like a normal image.

This is what I get when I save it.

...you get that, literally? You must not be using IE...
 
In every browser I try. Some images are that. I'm using GTP Lite that shows less X's. For the default theme. I get about 20 X's.

Pic taken with IE6.
 
Something isn't making sense here...that's not the "Red X" that IE normally shows when it can't load an image. I'm really at a loss here as to what it could be...Giles, LoudMusic, any ideas?
 
GTP Default Theme. Alot harsher.

EDIT: It works with Mozilla, that's the only X free browser that's working for me.

Whoa...that is just bizarre. That's definitely not coming from this site or your browser. Even if those backgrounds weren't loading, IE wouldn't tile a red X like that in its place (instead it should just show the background color, and you'll never even know there was an image that should have loaded). It could be some type of program, kind of like a virus. That red X doesn't look like something that professional software would display...
 
Jordan, but it's working with Mozilla. It's really weird.

UGH! Stupid me! I was playing around with the IE Advanced Settings and checked "Disable Script Debugging" and more things like that. I pressed Restore Defaults and it went back to normal!
:banghead:

Sorry, for wasting your time!
 
Haha, not a problem, I'm glad you got it fixed. :)

Hmm. I'm not convinced that the "Restore Defaults" fix isn't a red herring. If you look at the screenshots provided by Super-Supra, and then at the page code, you'll see that there's something weird going on. I'm guessing (Jordan, you'll be able to confirm this) that the toolbar at the top left was composed and sliced in Fireworks. Then because Fireworks' code can be a bit bloated and messy, Jordan stripped out all the Fireworks markup, to leave just the images and the links.

So why does it load the images for My GTPlanet, Search, Members and Calendar, but not Help? There's no difference in the HTML for loading the Help image. I wonder, S-S, did you try clicking the images that hadn't loaded?

Jordan, if you use a tiled image as a background, it will tile the image if it thinks it's loaded that image. This leads me to another theory, that the cache is corrupt, but S-S says that he cleared his cache and the problem returned.

So why do I think that the Advanced Options restore is a red herring? Because there's nothing really special going on in that code, nothing that you would expect to be affected by the Advanced Options.

I don't know. It's a weird one.
