Not a big issue but I'm curious to know why a particular photo appears on a page at night but shows up as an x during the day??? Photo in question is #612214 on page #612206, "Some thoughts on early season travel". Seems quite bizzare to me??
Thanks!!

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but my understanding is that photos on SP are stored with a "cloud" storage service, which replicates data across several server locations. When you view an image it may be served from one location or the other (distribution of network traffic). Now if for some reason an image file is not synched properly between those locations, it may show correctly when served from one location but incorrectly when served from another one. I've seen before that synching can take a while with this service; For example when you replace one of your images it can take more than a day until the new image actually shows up in your browser.

It appears that image was not loaded as a .jpg, but as a .tiff instead. Not sure if that could also cause an issue.

Ya browsers seem to display tiffs with a plugin, quicktime on Mac (Firefox won't show the image, Safari/Chrome does). You shouldn't use tiffs on the internet; convert it to jpg, replace your tiff with it, wait a day or two, and the issues should be gone.

Thanks for the info!! Don't know what a tiff is, let alone how that particular photo became one. I'll see if I can dig up the original and redo it as a jpg.

There are lots of free tiff to jpeg converters. If you have a browser that will display the tiff, you can save the image as a jpeg. This shouldn't be hard.

In fact, here it is:

Make sure it doesn't have the .vamp extension.

Not sure what that is, but do have some photos in my iPhoto that show up with a black background and a large ! mark. Maybe that's the vamp you speak of.
Anyway, I located the original slide, rescanned it and reposted it as a jpg.
Thanks for your help!!

That explains a lot.
