Broken and corrupted picture/video links


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
You should probably be clearing your browser cache (known as Temporary Internet Files) at intervals anyway; sometimes that's enough to stop some of these delays and glitches although not always. It's possible that the first time you click the link you're going to a cached version of the photo which didn't load.

Here's some information about clearing your cache.

How to Delete the Contents of the Temporary Internet Files Folder

If you clear cookies you'll lose any stored passwords, which is a pain, so I wouldn't do that unless you really want to. You just need to clear the temporary files (the browser cache); cookies are probably not relevant to this issue.

If you're connecting directly via AOL there's a fairly simple way to clear your cache, but I need to have my own computer up and running before I can give you step-by-step instructions since it's the only one of our computers with AOL loaded and it isn't working at the moment.

also two links to the royal musings blog, which I think are working but are freezing my computer for some reason.

So most of the links seem to work, a couple don't, and a couple are out of date. Were there any in particular that are giving you problems?

Broken picture/video links

Hello,

I've been reading this forum for quite a few weeks now and very much enjoy it, but I have one complaint: there are far too many broken picture and video links! It's extremely dissatisfying to read an old thread and not being able to see more than half of the pictures! Today, I went through the Spanish Royal Family video thread, where three quarters of the videos aren't working!
Is it possible to simply remove these dead posts or to report dead links? And would it be an option to point people to image hosting sites that don't delete images after a certain period of time? Maybe just allow one or two sites to be hosted from?
Please forgive me if this has been discussed - I looked at the titles of half the threads in this subforum, but didn't see anything related!

But, despite the criticism, thank you very much for some enjoyable reading and all the effort to keep this a clean, well-mannered forum!

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for the feedback!:flowers: We do have a team of admins and mods who check old threads for broken links and delete posts or replace the links. But the forum is huge and several years old, so it's a slow process.

We prefer that members use certain image-hosting sites over others, not least because a couple of them are susceptible to hacking and also tend to have a lot of popup ads, but it's up to individual members what they use. Since some of these image-hosting companies charge money for people to use their sites for larger numbers of photos, that has to be the individual choice of the person looking for somewhere to host photos.

If you come across a thread with an annoyingly large number of dead links, feel free to PM the forum mods and at least one of the admins, and someone will try to check it out.
 
I just cleaned the Spanish Threads
 
Inappropriate Ads Via Photos

Hi everyone,

I was taking a look at the official photos of Crown Princess Victoria's engagement (found here: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...l-westling-february-24th-2009-a-20137-11.html).

When you click the links, as shown

http://img232.imagevenue.com/img.php..._122_470lo.jpg
http://img201.imagevenue.com/img.php..._122_190lo.jpg


etc., they take you right to the photo. However, inappropriate ads for porn websites or obscene "dating" site ads pop up. I discovered this by trying to click to enlarge the photo. On another, I didn't even have to click the picture, an ad just came up saying it was taking me to the photo, then showed a slew of really obscene photographs. I am not sure who is responsible for the links, or if they are unaware, they should be informed. :ohmy::eek:

It hasn't happened for a while, but I just clicked on the link with Letizia wearing a tshirt from Mango, and when I closed the picture another link appeared, the sort I do not visit. This is about the 5th time and it is the same website (of the sort I do not visit)

It only happens on this website but I was wondering whether it is my firewall not working or what? Any help would be much appreciated.

This has happened to me before - I click on a photo expecting to see a princess fully dressed and instead I end up seeing some trashy "model" without any dress sense and certainly no clothes on! :ohmy:
 
then no dress sense needed :flowers: (that is the site I am referring to)

I am mainly worried that these links give my laptop a computervirus, hacker, I have no idea about these things.

There are no details given so it's difficult to check it out or be specific. However, we know that the Supload picture hosting site is one which should not be used by members because it has been hijacked and corrupted.

If anyone comes across corrupt links the "report this post" feature will bring it to to the Mods' attention [click the red triangle icon in the top right corner of each post].
 
I don't know if this can be solved in any way, but whenever I've clicked on "imagevenue" pictures, I also get an adult website and the last time there were horrible pictures on it. One of the moderators reloaded to imageshack and when I clicked on it, got the same site. I'm in no way pointing a finger or blaming the poster for this, it just happens and is there any way to solve this? I realize there probably is not, but thought I would ask. Thanks a lot!
 
Unfortunately there is no real way to solve this problem, Katrianna.

It's not the fault of any of our posters here, these two mentioned
picture hosting sites (and others) refinance themselves with that
kind of annoying advertising. Best thing is to ignore and quickly close
those pop-up windows. I would also suggest not to use these image
hosting sites, but the number of image hosting sites that don't demand
a registration is of course limited, therefore a perfect solution can't be
found at the moment..
 
Thank you iceflower, I know it isn't any posters. It's unfortunate that these occurrences happen from time to time.:flowers:
