+barnold Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Recently I noticed that cache-pages do no longer show the background image when viewed in Firefox 50.1.0, but do show the image when viewed using Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m Anyone else having the same behaviour? it is particularly annoying when a puzzle cache uses the background image as source of information. see my cache Griftbrug nano Edited January 25, 2017 by barnold Quote Link to comment
+Pontiac_CZ Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Displays correctly on my end (FF 50.1.0). I suppose you have installed some add-on that interferes with gc.com. Quote Link to comment
+Team Microdot Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Firefox 50.1.0 here - background image displaying just fine. Quote Link to comment
+barnold Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 It is good to know that it works for others, I tried switching off all my extensions, but no success. Thank you for the reactions. But still waiting for the golden suggestion. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That background image displayed fine for me, too. I noticed that your image is in .png format and it's not hosted on the Geocaching.com image system. One of those facts could be a contributing cause of your issue. Quote Link to comment

One of those facts could be a contributing cause of your issue. My golden suggestion would be to upload the image to the cache page itself. If one can access geocaching.com, one can see images hosted there. Quote Link to comment

But still waiting for the golden suggestion. Working for me too (FF50.1.0) so almost certainly something your end. Perhaps you have a bad version of the image cached, try clearing your cache. What happens if you right click the background and select "View background image" What happens if you access the image directly : I would also suggest posting the image to the cache page, as you have done with the other images.

+barnold Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) uploading the image to Groundspeak did do the trick. it still is a png to me the strange thing, however, still remains. why did i not see the image, while others did?

+barnold Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) The problem also appeared on other cache pages (e.g.this cache). Looking into it I discovered that for some reason, I really don't know which one, FF on my computer was blocking images from cloudfront.net. I removed the blocking and all works fine. Could be that, when trying to solve that mystery-cache, I looked into the image details and, by accident, checked the blocking tick-box .... Edited January 28, 2017 by barnold Quote Link to comment

+Damned Rodan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) I don't know whether you're using the No-Script add-on for Firefox (and it may apply to other add-ons), but if certain scripts are blocked on the source page (where the image is stored), it won't show up on the cache page whether add-ons are disabled for geocaching.com or not.
