Twokinds ARCHIVE Forums

Hi, I think I got some kinda technical problem:

I can't see any comic pages from http://twokinds.comicgenesis.com/d/20060920.html until the latest page.
I can see the comic on the 2kinds.com main page though.

From 20060920 onwards, all I get is a white block where the comic should be.
So do you know if eveyone has this problem or just me ?

And how I might fix it ?
Thanks

Go to the page that has a white page- If you are using Internet explorer or Firefox hit CTRL F5. That will force the page to refresh and should load the page.

If it does that means at some point you tried to hot link to the image - Since Comicgen does not allow hotlinking you get a 1x1 white image instead. When you go to the comic page your browser says "Hey! I got this image in my cache! I shall load that up instead of downloading it again!" And so it loads a 1x1 image into the space and size of the comic- thus you get a big white image.

If that does not fix the problem then go back to older comics and make sure you can see them. If you can hit ctrl f5 while looking at one. If it changest to a white image - that means that you have something blocking images from the site. Like a Virus Scanner or a FireWall. If that is the problem go to the comicgen.com forums and use the search feature for something like "Cannot see comics" or "can't see images" - That should help you locate a thread telling you how to allow the comics to apear.

I think it is my firewall, but the Ctrl+F5 fixes it.

So thanks Sage !

If the ctrl f5 fixes it then it is NOT your firewall. It means at some point you were on a page where someone tried to hotlink the image and so you got stuck with a file that says "lol you fail at the internet".

So now that thats settled-- this thread shall be locked.
