I cannot see nikon shooters images, i used to be able to but nothing now on my windows 10 laptop or my android tablet ?.

Something about Nikon Shooter's hosting doesn't play well with some browsers.

We had some discussion about this in the Insanely low light minichallenge. Post 48 onwards a bit. How about an insanely low light challenge? - Page 3 - Mini-Challenges, Member Contests, and Games - NikonForums.com

 

I can't help any as I have Macs at home.

This is something not observed on an other forum where
all the same pictures are visible on both platform!?!?!?!?

As I mentioned in a previous post... some months ago now... I also can not see Nikon Shooter's images. I've tried several browsers on both my Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines to no avail. The forum software seems to get stuck trying to connect to whatever server is hosting the files but eventually gives up and throws up a broken image icon. On occasion I've been able to click on the broken image icon and have a tab open on the hosting service and view the image. Unfortunately, this doesn't always work and even when it does it seems to take quite awhile to work.

 

I haven't noticed this problem with anyone else's images. It's unfortunate because I used to enjoy seeing those images.

I am involved on Capture One's, Affinity Photo's and other photo related fora
and my observation is that only here do I see so many views with no replies.

I don't know what krag, Bart, Jerry and very few others are doing right but it
seems to work with these guys on windows.

I'm not trying to find fault; Just stating a point. 

 

I'll assume that the fault in on my end. 

 

The machine I'm using tonight is an upgraded Toshiba Satellite running Windows 10, 2004 (2004 refers to the version, not the year) and I'm using Google Chrome 90 something or other. But I also don't have the fastest internet in town (200bps) so that may be part of the problem. 

 

As I said, I used to enjoy viewing (and occasionally commenting) on your image uploads. Something changed and neither Firefox, Chrome, or even Microsoft Edge can handle the files. After awhile I stopped bothering to try. 

 

I don't have any problems with anyone else's stuff. Just yours. Again, it's unfortunate.

 

Edit: just now I found a workaround that seems to be doing the job. After waiting for the image to load and getting the broken image icon, I tried opening the image in a new tab from Chrome's right click drop down menu. The image displayed in another tab perfectly. This may have been what I got working once before, so there's no telling how long this trick will work. But for tonight it is working.

Hey Ron,

I produce jpg files for web use that are uploaded to a site and copy
the like in the post… a most straight forward operation that is accep-
ted by all other fora on whatever platform. I'm all on Mac too.

I am not at all eager to find faults by any member but I think the admin
of this here site should have a look into this.

Have a good one!

ADDENDUM


…if only members would say that they don't see the pictures.

I do not believe it has anything to do with the site.  I have a similar problem on a different site.  On both sites, I have the issue which impacts my ability to view images of some posters on a Windows 10 PC where I am not an admin (work PC) and have zero issues with viewing them on my own Mac.  I believe it has to do with the method used to post the images.  Not that the method is wrong but that the chosen method is not compatible with the configuration of the PC or browser setting.  It could be the site where someone's images are hosted could be on my company's black list or on a particular security application's list.  It could be as simple as a browser setting.

 

Perhaps when someone feels like experimenting, they could post images in this thread with details (where it was uploaded, how it was saved, which link option was selected if there are multiple options, etc.) on how they posted it and we can figure it out... 

 

That said, I always upload my images to this site and I haven't had anyone indicate there was an issue seeing the images.  

 

Here is an image where folks can confirm.

 

 

It is an image I took a couple of years ago when we were out on the water.  It is one I happened to have on my work system.

I used to be able to see nikon shooters images up until maybe six months ago, has not worked since.

[Nikon Shooter]

Can you see the posts on the first page?

[brickie58]

No I have gone through all pages to the first one I can find of yours about page 38 and still nothing ?.

[PebblzNnutz]

@Nikon Shooter Well, I'm finally starting to see your images. Previously, whenever I tried to view your posts they started to load on my very slow connection and they all ended up as little blue squares with a "?" mark. Whenever they started to load, they looked like they were big files and I attributed them not loading fully due to my connection. I confirmed my theory when I went out of town to a place that has considerably better speeds than here and they loaded just fine on my Mac laptop. By any chance have you started linking smaller files than before?

[Nikon Shooter]

Thanks for chiming in!
 

@Nikon Shooter : By any chance have you started linking smaller files than before?

No, same method, format, size, and quality.

[Nikon Shooter]

PLEASE NOTE

From the first post, images were linked to a host site that permits me to lea-
ve any amount / size of data for a two months period after which the space
must be made available.

This should not make any difference in operation but my images are deleted
from the host site every second month — January in March, February in April,
etc.

[TBonz]

FYI:  In my statements above, I was speaking of your images that you posted same day or within a couple of days.  I expect it will confuse people who go to read posts where the image has been removed...

[Nikon Shooter]

Very frustrating… this problem requires some attention from the site operator.

I spoke today with internet guru friends of mine. They looked into my end of it
but found nothing that could explain this situation.

I see your photos are being served over HTTP rather than HTTPS.  Modern browsers are now outright blocking mixed content requests (such as HTTP images embedded on a page that otherwise uses HTTPS, which applies to most websites including this one). You will need to work with your host to enable HTTPS support, which is trivial to do and shouldn't involve any costs.

 

As an alternative, you could simply share links rather than embedding your photos, but this will make for a worse user experience of course.

I see your photos are being served over HTTP rather than HTTPS…

Many thanks, I will investigate this!

I see your photos are being served over HTTP rather than HTTPS.

I got this em@il this morning:

To whom it may concern, 

your SSL certificate was successfully installed on your server.

SSL-Type: Basic-Wildcard-SSL | Let's Encrypt
Valid from: 17.05.2021
Valid to: 17.05.2022
Order date: 17.05.2021

It can take up to 24 hours until your site is also accessible via https://. Please note that you may have to make appropriate changes to your settings in your CMS in order to forward to SSL correctly.

The last paragraph is chinese to me!
