Team Dragon Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I've recently attached a travel bug to my travelling companion but the picture isn't appearing correctly and I'd appreciate any clues as to what I am doing wrong. I uploaded the picture and clicking the link on the bug page shows the picture perfectly fine. I edited the bug and chose that picture as the one to be displayed for the bug. When I view the bug page, I get an indented box with a small red X in the upper left corner. The usual sign from IE of a broken image. Checking the properties shows that the image is trying to be loaded from www.geocaching.com/track/generatetrackimage/ while other bug images are taken from www.geocaching.com/track/display/ Is this normal? Is there some sort of delay images go through before they can be displayed or did the process break? Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I have been having the same problem with all of my bugs. I ended up having to email Jeremy and have him fix it for me. - Dekaner of Team KKF2A Quote Link to comment
+Dawgies Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The same thing was happening to me. I'd delete the pic and upload it again and the same thing. I knew that the only pic format accepted was the (.jpg) so I checked the image and filename on my computer and found that the filename pic format had been auto save with the (.JPG) in upper case letters. I changed it to lower case, uploaded it and it came up fine. It could have just been coincidence for me but it may be worth a check and a try for you. Good luck! ~Honest Value Never Fails~ Quote Link to comment
Team Dragon Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 I didn't consider the possibility that case made a difference, especially since the instructions say to only use a "JPG" extension. Sure enough, after renaming the file to a lower-case .jpg extension and uploading it, it work fine. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
+nyisutter Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Changing to lowercase helped me too! Thanks. Maybe there should be a warning when uploadign that it is case sensitive. Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Don't add a warning, just add a line of code to handle different case conditions for 'jpg'. - Dekaner of Team KKF2A Quote Link to comment
+darniforgot Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I was able to get mine fixed by using the lower-case .jpg and also by making the size smaller. Some larger images even with the lower-case .jpg didn't show up properly until I made them smaller. Quote Link to comment
