I know it was a long time ago, but ...

NOTE THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PRESS 'POST' THE PICTURE WILL NOT APPEAR IMMEDIATELY. IF THIS HAPPENS - DON'T PANIC! DON'T DELETE THE POST EITHER! SIMPLY REFRESH THE PAGE IN YOUR BROWSER AND THE PICTURE WILL APPEAR. THE SAME THING CAN HAPPEN IF YOU EDIT A POST CONTAINING A PICTURE.

On most computers it's a simple as pressing the 'F5' button on the top row.

Thanks, never knew that. Admin, would it help occasional users to have an up-to-date summary of how to post a pic pasted up front somewhere? It does seem to be quite straightforward when you know exactly what to do and I am sure it would be good for the forum to have more people posting.

[Henk Vasmel]

Yes, you do have to back out from the screen and go back again. This is so you have time to sacrifice a goat and say a prayer.

Ah, that's why it didn't work for me. I thought it was a sheep.

OK, why the **** is this website now not letting .png pics be posted?

 

[Tim Murray]

Looks fine to me.

Nope.  Will only link.  No image insertion.

Showing for me as well. One image in your first post, two in the second.

Postimage has now allocated .avif to my recent photo uploads which provokes the dreaded 'not allowed to use that image extension.

My previous photos were all given .jpg and still seem to work just fine. 

 

Tim or Vitesse2 how to I solve this issue please?

[Vitesse2]

From my limited experience of .avif files, I think it may be that the extension might have been allocated by whoever/whatever created the original image. AFAIK Postimage only stores uploads as .jpg and .png but it's probably worth looking at the image's link page and examining the address it has allocated - it might have called it something like '.avif.jpg', which would confuse the BB software. I've seen that with .webp images being saved as '.webp.jpg' - which the BB software rejects..

 

If that's the case, you should be able to open the original .avif files in Irfanview (or your image editor of choice) and then simply save them in .jpg format. You should then be able to upload that file as normal. I haven't tried that with .avif files, but it certainly works for .webp files.

[Andrew Fellowes]

All my photos that I uploaded today were .jpg that is until they got to Postimage.    and now end like this one,  /J-Frank-Harrison.avif 

 

I will see if I can reclaim the .jpg extension as you suggest thanks, and in the meantime I've asked Postimage for help. Google has suggested it might be to do with using multiple computers! -I wish but I suspect it may be associated.

 

I will update when I find an answer!

TEST

 

Trying Drag & Drop Photo by WINO

 

Well I am now a happy chappie with this work around!

And what a beautiful image to test with !

[WINO]

Taken with the old Pentax that I still have, and use!

I have found a picture from the Belgian GP in 1976, courtesy of Autosprint, where there is an alternative cockpit cover for a Ferrari. Since it doesn't look like a 312T2, it might well be the 312T Spare car which was used at that race.

If this is the 1976 Cockpit cover for the 312T after the tall airboxes were outlawed, it doesn't match the later Vernon Ferrari.

It supports my theory of feeding air to the engine.

Maybe more tomorrow when I get to the Italian GP 1976. (I hope so)

I seem to have done something wrong as the Track Maps in Ozpata's thread have disappeared. Is that a simple thing to correct (if so how's it done?) or have I messed it up permanently?

[Sterzo]

To give us a clue, Alan could you copy and paste the following into your browser and see what happens? Also, what happens if you click on the link from this post.

Also might be useful to know your operating system, browser, and if your browser is set to clear cookies/history each time you close it. Also what security software you use, if any.

clicking the link gives the Aix les Bains circuit map. copy/paste gives something I cannot describe.

I'm on Windows /Firefox as I have been for many years. Oh, and adblocker

[Vitesse2]

There was a problem with viewing photos for some people about a month ago, which the tech guys eventually fixed by doing a CDN flush of the server. I think it's possible you may have a corrupted cookie or your browser is trying to follow a path which no longer exists. Firstly, try a DNS Flush and restart Firefox. If that doesn't solve it, try this:

 

1 Log out.

2 Clear all autosport.com cookies in Settings>Privacy & Security>Manage Data

3 Log back in and see if that's fixed it.

 

If that hasn't worked, log out again, go back into Settings>Privacy & Security, but this time click on 'Clear data'. Select only 'Temporary cached files and pages' and check the top line is set to 'Everything'. That may take a while - wait until the 'Clear data' button is no longer greyed out, then restart Firefox. That should have fixed it!
