Can anyone help, please.

Hi there, I have never heard of that happening and we have a few people from the UK on our forum. Has it happened before?

Are you on a computer or on a phone? If on the computer, it might be the browser you are using...... like Chrome, Firefox, Opera to name some. Perhaps there is a setting in your browser that is not allowing you to see the images? so perhaps just try a different browser to see if you can see the images? If that works then it might be a setting in your regular browser. Let me know how you get on Chris. :)

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I use Firefox as my browser on my pc and my laptop. I have tried Chrome and the AVG Browser and still have the same problem with them.

Do you visit TLP as well? I only ask as I have heard that a couple of people were having that problem over there as well so I need to do a bit more research to try and work it out. :) Thanks for letting me know which other browsers you tried as well.
 
I think it is image hosting related and not truly on your side of things but I don't know the specifics. I know of another UK scrapper who had a similar issue and couldn't see several posts because of the poster's siggie. The way it was hosted seemed to cause problems, but again I don't know the details.
That's why I am curious to know where those challenges images were hosted. Maybe it will make sense if we know that too in order to compare with other people with the same issue.

I hope you can see them better soon.
 
@twizzle So a couple of the girls did have their siggies hosted off-site and they have changed them. I am curious as to whether you may be seeing any images now on certain challenges Chris? and by images, was it more the 'images' like the siggie and little blinkies or was it the actual layout samples as well?
 
@wombat146 It was just the siggies. The layouts were okay. I have the same problem in the Gingerscraps Forum.
As I said it doesn't worry me now that I know what the problem is but I noticed the following.

BrightEyes (Kay) her signature does not show up.
Zanthia's signature does not show up.
Nor does twinmomsflor.

Not sure why my siggy does not show as it is hosted here at OScraps.
 
Chris it might also help, if you are on a computer, to do clear your cache, from memory I think you press the CTL+F5 key combo....... or just the F5 key. That should clean up your cache and then try to see whether you can see Kay's siggie. :)
 
This is happening due to the new censorship laws here in the UK. Imgur has blocked the UK starting 1st October. postimage is in the process of doing the same.
Basically stuff that's hosted on those platforms can no-longer be seen by people in the UK (including me).
Many other image hosting sites are expected to do likewise in the near future.

can't see the challenge images for challenges 1 or 3. I have commented on both challenges explaining the cause of the issue to the challenge hostesses.

Thanks so much for the update Angela, I will contact the challenge hosts and ask them to change out their siggies. :)
