Dick Splash 23 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 In the last week or two, when I click on an image in here eg. the GR2 line-up on the home page appears fuzzy. Today, it appeared incomplete. A few posted images in the forums are appearing fuzzy too. Everytime, I click on refresh, but it doesn't improve the image. Any ideas?

firefly2442 0 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I had this happen before. Go in and clear your cache. It's probably cached a picture incorrectly. Now reload gr.net and it should reload the pictures. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blistr 0 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 It sounds as though the picture isn't fully downloaded at your end. Right click the image. Is the Show Picture option available to select? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dick Splash 23 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 This is a wierd one! Any chance of posting a screenshot of the issue? ← Rather than do that, I think it's the fact that my PC can't cope with large images, coz the 'USMC 229th Birthday' thread image appears in full, although a little fuzzy. I know my comp's long overdue for a replacement, but this is really annoying. As I said, regular sized images appear fine, but hi-res' and huge 'now' seem out of the question DS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dick Splash 23 Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Give us specs of your computer. ← P4 1.6 512 20GB Creative's GeForce Anhialator Pro 256 [The best money could by 4 1/2 years ago!] It 'creeks' I know, but it still plays GR well DS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeko 33 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 With that specs u should had problem viewing large pictures. Somewhere else has got to be the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 It has to be a setting is your display options somewhere, colour depth or some damn thing... This is frustrating me now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is the Show Picture option available to select? ← I think blistr is right on the money with this issue. DS: I'm guessing it may be a problem with how your browser is caching the pictures. Here's a few things to try: 1) Try right-clicking on a blurry high res pic and chose "Save Picture As" and download the file onto your desktop. Open up the pic in Windows Picture Viewer and see if it looks normal 2) Go to the tool bar in IE and pick Tools-> Internet Options -> Settings ... and then tell us how big the size of your Temporary Internet Files folder is. I would suggest you expand it to 256MB 3) Try a different browser like FireFox v1.0. See if you still have the blurry picture problem with that browser. If you don't, then it's just an IE problem. Let us know how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if it's your modem or your ISP then ... something is cutting off the image from downloading fully. Any chance you got an old modem (even a 33.6) around to test if it's a modem problem? Also give FireFox a try and let us know what happens. It's amazingly only 4.7MB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use it because my wife is used to it and well.......that's it really. I've become to dislike it because, although it looks pretty, there's too many bells and whistles that I don't use and when opening it up, my HD sounds as though it's 'flushing' forever.

WhiteKnight77 1 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 DS, your wife may like gAyOL, but she needs a small lesson in econaomics. For at least $2 less a month, she can get better service (my opinion) with Earthlink than gAyOL. Visit Earthlink for more info. Right now they offer dialup at $9.95 a month for 6 months with unlimited access. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
