If you can do so, try clearing the cache from the work machine's browser. Can't remember how to do that in Internet Explorer though.

I've done it before for something else but like you can't remember what I had to do. Will try to look it up and give it a go when I get a chance.

Meanwhile, it actually no big deal as there are plenty of nice pictures to look at throughout the rest of the forum :)

How about using CTRL+F5 when you are in your browser on the forum. That should refresh all your files for the forum.

Is there some reason that I am suddenly having to link out to photbucket every time I tap on an in post thumbnail? Before it just showed me the picture full screen but now (due to fat fingers I know)I can only see smaller pictures on photo buckets page (mainly cos every time I try and tap the tiny magnifying glass it takes me to the next photo). It only used to link me out if someone posted a link, now it does it from the thumbnails too.

PS, this it in tapatalk.

If you edit the post, you will notice that the IMG tag is set within a URL tag. Therefore when you click on the image it takes you to the website. It is a setting change in the Photobucket user account. If the user has enabled 'The Link back option' in Photobucket, then you will link to Photobucket when clicking on a picture. Alternatively, they have copied the IMG THUMB code rather than IMG code. I have no control over this and it is nothing to do with the upgrade.

As examples.
This the IMG THUMB code:

Code: Select all

[URL=http://s1210.photobucket.com/user/RupertKW/media/20130723_102301_zpsb98148ad.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc413/RupertKW/th_20130723_102301_zpsb98148ad.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
resulting in this:

Or the better option is this IMG code:

Code: Select all

[IMG]http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc413/RupertKW/20130723_102301_zpsb98148ad.jpg[/IMG]
resulting in this.

But the best option is to use the Photobucket button to the right, just below the smilies. It gives you the right code all the time.

Ah, I get you. Must be coincidence then as I've never come across it before, the links were always obvious links.

That is because I had to reset the user flags to a week ago as part of the maintenance I had to do. It would have reset the last read posts to a week ago too. The flags are not kept in cookies but on the server, so that it works across multiple platforms.

Just a question about the gallery algorithm. The, I assume, random pics that show up near the top of the page appear to be about 50% mine. Is this just that I've thrown up more pictures than anyone else? Just seemed a bit un-random to me.

There are currently 186 photo's uploaded to the gallery, of which 67 are yours. So, the likelihood of one of yours showing is about 36% (1 in 3) per box. I have 42 photo's uploaded and my likelihood is 23% (or 1 in 4). Once the gallery has a lot more pictures in it, the randomness will improve as the software has more choice.
