Blue boxes with "?"

13 years 1 month ago #47486 by Lori G
I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but when I try to look at some of the photos in the gallery (including some of my own photos), all I see is a blue box with a question mark in it. Do I need to change a setting? I've never had it before... It's not like that for all of the photos.

I believe that has to do with the "who can see" drop down. If you mark them "anyone" the photos will appear.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

The icon for that is a padlock. This is a blue box with a question mark. My photos are marked for everyone, so they should all be visible. I would think, even if I marked them with something other than "everyone", I should still be able to look at my own photos. It's not all of the photos. Just the photos I added today. Weird.:S

I had the same thing happen a little while ago. I refreshed/reloaded the page. I still had 9 of 40 photos in this particular album just show the blue box and question mark. I attribute it to either the Internet gremlins (like the ones who had this site totally shutdown early this morning; is the Amazon problem to blame?) or perhaps there's some type of overload or capacity problem (slow servers). I noticed that I didn't have this problem yesterday.

Neither did I. I sent a message to Alex. Maybe it does have something to do with the servers... but I would think it would affect more people. Maybe it is, and they just aren't whining about it. Hmmmmm....

Oh thank goodness. Thought it was something I was doing wrong, but then I figured that couldn't be as I make a practice of never doing things wrong. :rofl:

A Smurf movie??? I thought I had heard something about that, but hoped that the makers had come to their senses. The Cat in the Hat movie was bad, I can only imagine what the Smurf movie will be like. :ohmy:
