Problem loading image in webpage

Post by polly_w »

Firefox can't load this image, but Safari, Explorer & Netscape can. Is it just my Firefox that's having the problem?

I'm running Mac OS 10.3.9 and Firefox 1.5.0.6.

I can see it fine.

Do you have the "Load images for the originating website only" box checked in your Firefox options? I don't suggest ever using that ... it causes many image questions here.

No, I don't have the "Load images for originating websites only" box checked. When I try to load that image, the page says: "The image “http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/icon/iconPurpleStar_25x25.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Maybe it's just some strange thing that's happening to only me.

Can you see another 'sibling' of that image?

If you can see the above image, go back to the purple one that you originally posted and try to:
SHIFT + 'reload'.

Maybe it is errored in your cache.

You solved my problem! Yes, I could see the 'sibling' of that image. I did the SHIFT and 'reload' on the problem image, and it came up fine! You're a genius! Thanks so much!

You're welcome.

SHIFT + 'reload' is always a good idea if you're having page/image problems ... it forces a fresh reload.
