How do you want me to know, I can't make remote diagnosis
Seriously, the server has been down yesterday, I already can't remember but I think it was down before I put the pic. I may be wrong though... Do you see it now? Does anyone have the problem?
According to the logs of the server, the pic was uploaded several tenth of times, so there must be people who have seen it.

This is what happens (from my point of view at least ):
When I open this topic I see your pic's loading slowly, but soon before it's finished it dissappears again.
I have no idea what the problem might be .

Could the loading-time be too long? :huh:

Do you have the same problem adrian _68 ?
I have never seen something like that... But I keep saying such things each time a client reports a strange bug, and there are ALWAYS strange bugs popping up from nowhere
This one looks like a real challenge though... I will have a look.
As a workaround, it should be possible to get the image anyway by making a screen shot right before the end of the download. Don't forget to empty the browser cache before or it will just take the image from the cache.
Oh before I forget... Do you both of you use Internet Explorer? If yes which version?

[fafner]

Ok, I have observed the problem. It seems to be specific to Internet Explorer.
My guess is the image is corrupted in a subtle way that prevents Internet Explorer to render it, but still works with other browsers. I will regenerate the image and see if it works...

[fafner]

Hum... I found the problem...
I made an error in the format and generated the image in a format not understood by Internet Exporer
My apologies... The image should be ok now.
This was indeed a corruption of image... according to Internet Explorer
Here is the image again:

[Strange Wings]

Yes, now it works.
By the way, I use Avant Browser myself. I guess this image's format wasn't accepted by that browser either :huh: .

Weird.

[fafner]

All my images are stored in PNG format. In fact I had accidentally linked to the PNG image instead of the JPG translated one
The PNG format is a replacement for GIF format. The latter is a non-free format. So PNG was developped as a free replacement for it. Unfortunately, it seems it is not well supported, or maybe that image has a peculiar problem, as other PNG images seem to work with Internet Explorer (ie the other Denkou screenshots work very well with Internet Explorer).

It's kinda boring in the forums today isn't it? Well, anyway, can I ask for a screenshot of Astro's house(2003) from the outside. I'm gonna use it as a reference for my manga. Thanks in advance to whomever will grant my request.

You use whomever in the active tense. If someone is to take action, you are to use whoever. whom is used when to peson to which it refers is receiving the action, not taking it. Go to the blackboard, and write 1oo times,
"I will not misuse the word whom, or any form threof."
