Not Christian but here goes. On the top panel where you see you avatar (next to the notifications bell). Click on that which opens up your control panel and you will see signature under user account

Good stuff, many thanks.

The graphics appear to be having an issue. In the What Are You Listening To Now thread the pics are not showing up since yesterday.

I thought that it was just me!!

I might have thought the moderators would have picked up on this by now.

I noticed that too!..... Strange...

Hello...is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me!
Seriously, can anything be done to get the images back up and running on the forum?

Surprised no-one replied.

Me too. Guess they're all on Facebook

So that's what happened to my signature! I deleted it & won't put up a new one until the problem is fixed.

Christian, are the images coming back on the site again sometime soon? Just curious.
Thanks again for having us all here!

One issue, used to crop up on the old forum, is people using images from non-hotlinking sites (Hotlinking is linking to pages other than the site homepage, or using images from pages on a site) as this uses their bandwidth, but benefits them in no way. After you post an image, try opening the forum page in an "in- private" session, or a different browser altogether. If you don't see the image, it's probably blocked by the site you're "borrowing" it from. It will show up in your usual browser session as it's now stored in your cache on your computer.

The images showed up perfectly since the site's inception. They stopped showing up 2 days ago. It's something that went down on this site that the moderators will have to correct. Our images have not been blocked by the sites we borrowed them from.

As COT mentioned those sites showing up OK on here. On the old Conforums site, I used only certain sites as they were blocked. Generally images i do show were mainly from music sites such as prog/Archives... Amazon and Discovery were sites that blocked images sent on the old forum. But this one did seem OK 2 days ago.

Only other thought apart from an actual issue with the site is possible implementation of the new GDPR policy by the linked sites.

That seems plausible. The forum administrator was online this mornimg, so I guess the problem has been noticed by the people who run this forum.

That's apparently it. I can't even save an image to my computer and upload it to this site. Everything is blocked. Oh well. Life goes on...

A response will help, instead of guessing here!!.....
