fyi- some Photrio performance enhancements going in

[RattyMouse]

Safari works fine for me. Are you sure you are logged in?

Yes. The quote button is there. When I click it, the page loads for a quote, except no text box appears.

If you mean Reply w/ quote - it works fine on mine (Mac and using Safari), though it was at the very top of the page at first.

If you clicked + Quote then it doesn't give you a text box; it just adds that post to a clipboard for you to add more quotes to and then post them all in one post.

Hi Ratty, on the broken page. have a look at the safari web inspector and console:

Then the errors tab:

Do you see any errors or anything there? Thanks (p.s. this post is coming from the latest Safari on mac)

Also, check safari "settings for this website"

and disable 'content blockers'

Thanks

This will happen if scripts are blocked from loading from the new CDN. I don't know what kind of default cross-site script loading is allowed by safari ( e.g. "tracking protection" or other settings ).

That's what I've been thinking. The site has never been faster for me, even in NZ it's nearly instantaneous now. I hate to back out of the CDN over a few anomalies so am trying to get to the bottom of it. I'm discussing with other forum owners to find anyone with similar issues. But like you say, it could be the browser thinking something malicious is happening, but why it is only happening for 3-4 people is currently a mystery. It could be an overzealous anti-virus app or such. Still investigating.

 

[NedL]

I had to adjust uMatrix to allow scripts and images from the CDN. Before that it was just as RM describes.

The site is noticeably snappier here near the Bay Area in California.

BTW for the "support us" section of the site, I think both the "gift" and "upgrade" options point to the same page.
I was thinking of sending you a small donation because I think I've decided to keep my ad and tracking blocking on and not try to manage exceptions just for photrio.
I couldn't find an option that would let me make a donation w/ a note attached to it so that you'd know what it is

FWIW, I'm using Safari and have both "prevent cross-site tracking" and "ask websites not to track me" checked.

Ok, I'm running the js through a new CDN, apparently more friendly to xenforo. @RattyMouse any better?

 

[Sean]

Ok, now running all js and static images through a different CDN provider. Several other forum owners use this service. If anyone still has issues let me know. Thanks

FWIW, I have a tendency of leaving Photrio on an open tab whenever I leave the site, the Chrome browser or even the entire computer. That includes having the computer switch to my wife's user page.
I'm frequently seeing the " Oh Crap" ( correction: 'Oh Snap') warning page when I return to the computer - something I rarely saw in the past.
Chrome on Windows 7.

See if it's any better on this new CDN. I had to quit using Safari because 70% of the tabs left open kept giving me "this tab is using too much resource" or something. I even disabled this option but still had problems. I run the latest Chrome on MacOS and have around 10 photrio tabs open all day. So far I haven't seen an 'oh snap!' message.

Everything was ok about six hours ago, but now avatars and many pictures show up as "?" in a blue box. Nothing has changed on my end. I have reset, restarted everything and still have this problem - but only on Photrio.

Have any of the changes been related to displaying or referencing images?

Can you right click on one of the broken images "copy link" and paste it here for me? Thanks

sorry, that's the link, what I need is the "image address". So right click the broken image "copy image address" or right click the broken image and "open image in new tab" then copy the address of the image in the new tab (if that makes sense). Also, check another browser. As for hard refreshing a page you can try this depending on your browser: https://fabricdigital.co.nz/blog/how-to-hard-refresh-your-browser-and-clear-cache

I've spot checked with a 100 browser test and haven't seen any issues so I think something is caching data on your local system. Do you have any browser 'speed' plugins or anything?

Here is my view of the classifieds:

I'm still having problems in Firefox. IE works OK, but it took 3 times to get it to work.

1. Screen full of code.
2. Screen with Phototrio and an odd login with no window and then no reply boxes in threads.
3. Normal Phototrio login with window and reply boxes.

Each attempt was followed by a close tab and reopen. Same with Firefox, but all of those were like #2.

Firefox says it is up to date. FF and IE are both using the same Java etc.... Win7.

All is fine in Win10 and Firefox. Uses 64B FF etc....

This code you're seeing, a screenshot might point me in the right direction. I tested a ton of browsers in win7 without issues, so this is pretty bizarre. I use a testing service that tests around 100 browsers, versions and OSes and OS versions.

 

[Sean]

for example this is Windows7 with firefox 15, both very old builds

 

[Photo Engineer]

The code only appeared one time, and was gone in an instant. It never reappeared. Also, I just noticed that in IE the "go to last unread" does not appear, but it still works. Go to last unread does work in Firefox.

Also, I can no longer see the short synopsis of each thread when I pause the cursor over the thread.

What a strange mix of things.

[Photo Engineer]

In my Firefox in Win 7 it used to have a login in a window the same as IE does now.

All of this points to local java issues. Have you installed java from here?

https://www.java.com/en/download/

If you're running some Microsoft flavor of java that might be causing some weirdness. Try re-installing java too, even if it says it's up to date.

 

[Photo Engineer]

Yes. Just a few days ago I got the latest version and both IE and FF use the same version.

I tried making some screen shots to post and every time IE froze and had to be shut down.

Sounds like your system might be due for a format and re-install. I used to do this on my windows box at least once a year. Have you tried a different computer?

Well - I should've mentioned I'm using an old Android platform that can no longer be updated with new browsers or apps. My browser and my OS is just too old - I can't get that address to display. Already there are many sites I can't load anymore (e.g. Ken Rockwell's).

So - sorry for the bother and distraction. I'll have to live with what I've got until I can upgrade.

Ah. Have you tried Opera Mobile Browser? Maybe you'll have some luck with that.
