it is definitely an IE6 problem. I am running IE5 (because I was too lazy to update it) and I have not had a single problem running cd, slashdot, ebay, or any other site.

Did anyone check the microsoft IE site and see if they know what's going on?

Actually its chiefdelphi's problem. It is the only website that this happens on.

Okay, so we know that this apparantly started happening suddenly, last night. Since it was so sudden, it is very very unlikely that it is was caused by IE or windows.... Simply because not everybody does windows updates in that amount of time. I haven't run a windows update and it happens to me.

While there is probably a bug in IE which allows this to happen (and always has allowed it), the problem probably started when a change was made to the php code which ultimately spits out HTML. There's something in the html that crashes something in IE and images stop working until you restart it.

I tried validating the site through W3. W3 tried using an algorithm to detect what encoding the site is using. It failed. I suspect there may be some really odd character that is getting inserted into the HTML text somewhere after the last working image and before the first non-working image.

If that's not the cause, this site is not using valid HTML. There's mismatching <font> tags all over the place, for example. According to standard, browsers aren't supposed to be able to support pages like this. I doubt this is the case though, I think it's some encoding problem.

Re: NOT just IE 6 not working

has anyone with this problem tried printing something off of IE? That doesn't work either. Is that related or is it just me?

Too bad Brandon's red emergency phone hasn't been hooked up to his house yet, then the CD server could call him at all hours, for him to fix it :-p

This has happened in the past.
I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is.

I could explain, or I could fix... so I'll fix and then explain

The bug seems to be on CD's end. To the naysayers saying slashdot is fine and blah blah blah...

Technically.. every site is broken, and every site is working.

For those of you not seeing any problems on CD, every site is working.
For those of you that are seeing problems on CD, you are also seeing at every other site which uses PHP to dynamically create pages.

The problem seems to be some kind of missing fragment of CD's script that isn't allowing the pictures to appear. It seems every image not in /forums/images/___.ext will not appear. (For example: /forums/images/smilies/mad.gif does not appear, but /forums/images/posticonnew.gif does [next to spotlights]) When Properties of an unviewable image is displayed, the correct URL is shown, but the filesize is labeled as -1 bytes.

When you go to any other site after ChiefDelphi that uses PHP, this same problem shows up... to you. Which is why when you, say, go to Google, it's fine. Because Google doesn't use PHP. But SlashDot does.

The only way I see around this, until CD fixes whatever the cause of this is to close all IE windows, clear your Temporary Internet Files, and load back up to other sites, and save CD for the end of the trail.

After going to CD you can't see pictures on any other site, but if you close Internet Explorer then reopen it (don't go to CD) you can see pics at other site. I dont know how to explain other website peoblems, except they are probably not related. Some idiot must of hacked CD for the fun of it, Norton Internet SEC. aint giving me ne warning, so it must be something being hosted on CD.

Well At least I found out how to see pics on other sites....

-Greg The Great
This post by Greg reminded me of a similar problem a while ago. The latest image in the picture gallery had something with it that IE did not like to render, causing it to choke and not display any other new images from that point on. Once you restarted IE, it worked fine, until trying to load that one image again. So I killed the image, and all is fine.

Yeah, I was getting this problem on certian websites, and not on others. And some of those websites are coming back. And Brandon says CD is getting fixed now too. So I guess all we can do it wait and see.

It's moot now, but my problem with /. was that I kep getting "Page Cannot Be Displayed" messages.

Thanks for fixing CD, Brandon.
