Hello friends,
I seem to be having problems seeing pictures in a lot of the posts, I have a little red x. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden? I've been offline for the past few days and the site changed servers when I got back so if this was previously posted, sorry.
It makes it really hard to vote for figure of the month when they're all red x's, hahaha, they all look the same!
Thanks!!!

They are doing a server upgrade, they are still working out some "bugs" apparently...

To the powers that be:
Could we have a general announcement when it is fixed.

Thanks Graywolf, the link worked but again, no photos. I'll just wait it out I guess.

If you are using some kind of firewall you should check your settings and allow the images from Armorama.net instead of Armorama.com. Just a suggestion..

Probably. It's called browser caching. Try hitting refresh or CTRL + F5 key if you are on IE. If not you will need to do a "forced" refresh where you tell your browser to ignore the cached files completely and to go out and grab them all anew.

The page is working though both for visitors and logged in users.

Also the domain to authorize would be "kitmaker.net"

Cheers,
Jim

Yeah, same prob as Mary. Ctrl+F5 just refreshes the red Xs into fresh red Xs.
I'm not sure why I would have to change any firewalls I have, I never had to do anything like that before, ever.

Hmmm...
