Due to images disappearing from Photobucket, TinyPic, and an ISP change a few years back, I started re-hosting images in my posts to Google Drive. That's a lot of uploading and editing posts to re-link the images to the new host. When I looked at them, they worked great, but my PCs, Notepad & Smartphone all have privileges passed on from Google Drive, which in English means that I can see the images when other folks may not have privileges to see them.
I thought I had fixed many of them and heck, 15GB of free storage for each gmail account I have (5) is hard to pass up. After I re-repaired the links with the proper sharing privileges, I thought that everyone, anywhere could see them. That was until a member told me he still could not see them.
Today at work, I was able to visit the threads with images that were allegedly not visible using several PCs and Smartphones (thanks to trusting coworkers), which since they are not mine, did not inherit my Google Drive privileges. They were Windows 7 based PCs using Internet Explorer and Apple IPhones using Safari. The alleged broken images all displayed, given enough time to download to the person's PC/Smartphone. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the issue may be with how the reporting person's PC and/or Smartphone are set up, not my process, so I need a favor
Can as many of you who see this email please visit This Thread Here and reply back to this post whether you can see the images in the thread? Allow enough time, given your form of connectivity, for them to download into your browser. If you can see them and chose to reply, include the following information if you know it:
Your type of device, IE PC, Notepad, Smartphone, etc;
Open or Restricted(at work) Network;
Your OS, if you know what it is, IE Windows (version#), Linux, Android, IOS, etc;
Your Browser, IE Internet Explorer (version#) Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.
I have untold hours tied up in hunting down broken image links, re-hosting them, re-re-hosting them and then editing the posts they are in and I'm getting fried.
Thanks,
Hoot
