So, my client and a friend of his are having problems with the site I just designed for them. Basically, some images refuse to load for them. It only happens when they are on their laptops.

Now I'm a pretty seasoned web designer... there shouldn't be an issue. So please, go to this site, click around a bit and let me know if all of the images show up, and if there are any problems in your respective browsers.

www.standupstix.com

Thanks in advance. I've tested in IE6, 7, Opera, FF, Safari, etc... but you never know.

    Checked out the site and it seems fine on my FF; though if it's only a couple users on their laptops - I would wonder if they are using an older browser or maybe Netscape Navigator (I had heard that Netscape doesn't handle some CSS well).

    Thanks guys, I figured it was loading fine.

    Really though, what's going on? I mean, more than one person (two) at more than one geographic location and different net connections are having trouble with images not loading... any ideas?

    Have you tried getting them to send you some screenshots of it not loading properly? perhaps there is something in common with an image name and some software on the lappy that's blocking it? who knows really.. more information would be key IMO.

    The extension is (.png). Maybe they don't have an image viewer that shows that?

    Could you change the extensions to the pictures to .jpg and see if that works?

    None of the PNG's use transparency, and every browser will render them. Could that really be an issue? Besides, all the images are PNG, and only some aren't loading.

    True. I'd give it a shot and get the people (that were reporting problems) to try it with (.jpg). It may not be the issue but I personally don't see anything else that could be it (looking through the HTML)

    Is there a setting in Opera that lets you disable pictures from websites that you don't know?

    Massman, if you force reload a couple times in Opera do the images appear? because I just checked in Opera and it loads fine.

    I cannot directly link to the image on my windows Opera, but I can on macbook Opera.

    Windows opera says it is unavailable.

    edit: jesus, no browser on my windows machine will open up those pictures.

    but my macbook is on wireless, vpn'd into same network, and can view the pictures.

    this is fishy indeed

    fact:

    my windows machine cannot load this image at this address

    http://www.standupstix.com/images/fp_image.png

    if I remove the "www." and simply try http://standupstix.com/images/fp_image.png it works on my windows machine


    edit, this makes sense. The pages I listed in my first post that I said I was unable to see, all those link to pictures that start with the "www." and the ones my windows machine is able to load all start without "www."

    hell, my windows machine can't even view http://www.standupstix.com, only http://standupstix.com


    but my macbook, vpn'd into same network, can view both.

    wtf. I've got a comp sci degree and I'm baffled

    www is technically a subdomain. so if your webserver is not set up correctly, the clients may be making requests to a non existant subdomain. the 'smarter' clients may be autocorrecting for the missing www.

    they may also be timing out. recompressing as a jpg makes the image 22kb, vrs the 140kb for the png.

    and really, you should be using relative paths for everything. using full urls leads to weird problems like this.

    The address http://www.standupstix.com does not work at all in Camino 1.5.4 (latest build) for me.
    http://standupstix.com does, but no images load.

    Same in Safari.

    Could be something completely random?
