Sudden image woes

Post by PieceOfSkunk »

Sometime since this afternoon, some images stopped appearing on my site. From my computer, the comic, navigation spacer, and next_day_ghosted are gone on the index, and on my daily the navigation spacer is gone. From my friend's computer, on the same campus network, no images at all are appearing, on any page. Does this have anything to do with the recent server woes (although I'm on YDK)? Does anyone else see something different or have a solution?

I, too, have the problem with next_day_ghosted on my site, and I've had it for a long time. You might as well just change that with a normal image, instead of using next_day_ghosted. As for your friends computer, you should first go to your computer an delete all temporary internet files, and then check your webpage again. If you still can see the images on your page as before, the problem here should be your friend's computer.

..else than that, I can't help you.
Not using Keenspace, I just am here. For some reason. Probably because I'm making a webcomic. Yeah.

I dunno about the other images, but I mentioned this a while back about 'Next_day' and 'next_day_ghosted'

This post is mainly to bring the problem to the attention of the Keen Staff, and to provide people having this problem with a work around until it's fixed.

Recently, the ***next_day*** tag hasn't been registering for people with link buttons to Autokeen on the indextemplate.html page of a lot of comics I've been seeing, including my own. At first I thought I just did something wrong, but so far about 5 other people have had the same problem. The easiest way to fix this until someone in management actually fixes the Keen code is to replace your ***next_day*** tag with:

If you're using a normal next_day.gif(jpg or png) file:
<img src="next_day.gif" alt="Tomorrow's comic">

If you're using a ghosted next_day.gif(jpg or png) file:
<img src="next_day_ghosted.gif" alt="Tomorrow's comic">

This should make it appear exactly like the ***next_day*** tag would. Note this is ONLY for the indextemplate.html file. The ***next_day*** tag works perfectly fine on all other pages.

I just thought I'd provide this for people having this problem so you don't have to start new threads about it.
Just to reitterate, since the post is now on page 3.

I knew about the next_day_ghosted thing, so I guess I might as well have not brought it up. Either way, all the other images are appearing now. God only knows why they weren't.
