It was my understanding that the issue is contrast and white on black is as constrasty as black on white. This theme has no transparency, and that's another thing that is supposed to make things better. Which theme are you using? I know everyone is different, but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents... I like the dark background/ white text theme. With a white background/ dark text screen (such as facebook) I get terrible eyestrain and fatigue, and the dark background is much easier on my eyes when, for instance, I'm reading stories in the fiction sections. Photoshop finally started offering a dark background theme a few years ago and it's been a godsend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLbear Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Since a few days I can only see some pics. They're all .JPG but some I can see and some just show up with the little box with an X in it. Only seems to be on this site so don't know what changed.

lynn1964 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 OK, so this is weird! I could see the pics posted by Jaybird, but not the ones by NLbear. Also looked at a few profiles and if they had an avatar, I could see it, but if they had their own background, I just got empty box with the jpg symbol in the corner.

NLbear Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I also have this with pics from the same member. If I look at their gallery then some pics are visible and some aren't (small box with X again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddysapig Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) My own pictures are disappearing. They were there 90min ago, but the picture I tried to up load, didn't. Just a box and a description. I just downloaded a blacked out picture from my album to my computer. It came back fine.

Administrators rawTOP Posted September 1, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 The problem with pictures seems to be that my host is blocking the CDN I use. So pictures that were in the CDN's cache you got, but any that have expired or are new didn't show up. I yelled at my host and It should be fixed now. If that doesn't make sense, let me explain further (if you're interested). When you type in a URL on here it goes to my server and returns the HTML. The HTML has URLs in it for things like stylesheets and images. They exist on my server, but you don't get them from my server. Instead, I use a CDN which means you request the file from an "edge server" and the edge server requests it from a "shield server" and the shield server requests it from my server. That may seem horribly inefficient, but it's not because the edge and shield servers cache the file and there are many edge servers around the world, so unless you're in Atlanta, you're probably getting it from a server that's closer to you than my server is. Anyway, my server was rejecting requests from the shield server so everything sorta broke down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn1964 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 rawTOP, I just went to several member's profiles, I could view avatars, backgrounds and, if they had an album, view album pics. Hopefully the issue is fixed. I know it's quite easy for you but man....it sounds so complicated, LOL. I'm just happy you took care of it for us!!

Photoshop finally started offering a dark background theme a few years ago and it's been a godsend. There's research about this in areas like Human Factors and such. Lighter text on a darker background can be a lot easier to read and less fatiguing. I remember a professor telling us about this several years ago when I was in undergrad; encouraging us to go against the preset themes in powerpoint to make our own dark backgrounds with light text. Therefore, I also like the style of this site with the darker background - it not only makes things easier to read, but it sets the mood as well (the "darker" things we discuss on here). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddysapig Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hi. I did finally get my pictures back, thank you, but some came back in duplicate. Also when scrolling thru the album the right and left arrows don't seem to know right and left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
