Strange... I don't seem to have any problems.
There's images all over the place
For the past two or so days, all the smilies and other assorted icons from Apolyton have not been working.
Ironically, these very same icons work in the forum cache when the main site is down.
All we need to do now is figure out why.
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

I've had no problems, its just you or your browser type.

No problems for me either. From the size of the font in your attached image, I'd guess you're using some sort of zoom feature... maybe that is the problem.
'Yep, I've been drinking again.'
I too have not noticed any problems.
Fine for me too. In fact it's working a bit better than usual, I've been able to turn avatars back on because the site has been loading images quicker for me over the last few days.
I expect it's something you've done Skanky.

I have this problem, from time to time, also...
This space is empty... or is it?

Well your new avatar certainly isn't broken. What is it?
It looks like an Egyptian War Chariot defeating a Babylonian Bowman.

It's a War Chariot defeating a Persian Immortal.
You should read this thread for an explanation:

It's 150+ posts, but it'll be worth it, I promise.
Keep an eye out for Eli's avatar in particular - it's the original that mine is a reaction too.

Ohmigod that is worse than Nation States. I understand now......but I am overspammed. I will return when I recover.
/me goes to lie down.
I had the frames no in their correct place yesterday, other then that no problems
No problem at my end.
What is Eli's avatar supposed to be?

It's a Persian Immortal from the DemoGame team he is on (Vox) killing a warrior from another DemoGame team (GS - the team I'm on) in a sneak attack. The two teams have had an uneasy alliance since the start of the game, but now war has started and one of them will be extinct in about 20-30 turns time.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

My avatar is of one of our War Chariot's killing an Immortal in our counter-attack. It's especially good for us because it triggered our GA.
DemoGame's rule.

Gee, Skanky, looks like you're alone on this one ... do you hear the crickets chirping?

Well, I kind of guessed that I would be the only one having problems. They images normally work, but my DSL server have been having network problems for the past few days which has led to things like half the internet being unavailable, and images not showing up on Apolyton.
What I want to know is why the images actually did show up when I went to the forum cache, despite the fact that I am still having network problems.
Speaking of avatars, they all show up fine (except for Gatekeepers).

I am having intermittent image problems as well, for about a week or so.Originally posted by Gatekeeper

No, that didn't help. Alas.
Oh, and answering previous questions:
I don't have any zoom feature. My display is 1280x1024, normal size font. I also haven't changed anything on my system in the last week that could have caused this.

Try a different browser.

Hmm ... that's strange why my avatar wouldn't show up for you, Skanky. It's one of the standard ones that 'Poly offers ... I think it's an F-15 jet fighter. (I haven't seen it in a while, having avatars disabled and all

hi ,
just close all your browser windows , empty cookies , history , open again and that should do it , .....

It's amusing the kind of acrobatics you have to go through to get something simple like a Web browser to work like it is supposed to be. Imagine a car that behave in the same way.

Tried both of the above suggestions, they didn't work either.
The properties tab of images that don't work look something like:
"http://64.246.32.176/forums/images/smilies-xmas/uhoh.gif"
whereas pinging apolyton.net shows an IP of 64.246.32.51
I can not ping the IP address that ends with .176
Any ideas?

64.246.32.176 is a secondary ip of Settler (our server)
do you have any kind of proxy or anything like that?
can you do a traceroute to 176?

No proxy or such. My router is a DSL-504 which I also use to connect to the internet.
I have made no changes to it or my computer between last week (when it was working fine) and this week.
I think the problem lies somewhere between myself and the 'Poly servers, but it is strange that one I can see fine, the other doesn't exist to me.
One quick note about the difference in seek times: I did those two tracerts at different times. Doing a fresh tracert to both servers gives near identical seek times. I still can't get to the secondary server.

If it means anything, a server between Poly and I was unresponsive from March 10th to April 12th. Only at certain times could I get an extremely lethargic connection to IP: 64.246.32.176
If it's related then...
