It shows some IPC sign. Can please someone help. Thanks, DDD<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 It doesn't look like that for me. The image in the slot where you have "IPC" shows an image with five little star Christmas ornaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexdee Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yes, that's the field of 5 stars image. And it's still there, but when I click it than the 5 start image appears. I don't know what that can be and why this image. I did the same uploading procedure like always. DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottershead Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Can you right click the strange thumbnail, select "Properties" and tell us what it says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexdee Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 What it says? Location and that, the same as on the other images. DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Can you type in what it says? At least, what is URL for the image that is wrong? What happens if you go to that URL directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottershead Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Those are correct, and they display the right thing in my browser. I think either your browser cache is messed up, or else there is a proxy server between you and the photo.net server that is doing the wrong thing. You might not even be aware of the proxy server if your ISP is running some kind of "web acceleration" thingie that you don't know about it. These often cause problems. You might try clearing your browser cache. If that doesn't work, what do you see if you type in the thumbs.photo.net URL for the image directly into the location bar in your browser? If you are still seeing the "IPC" image, then try clicking the "Refresh" button on your browser while holding down the "Shift" key. This is supposed to tell any proxy servers to fetch a new version. If that doesn't work, try typing the URL again, with "?x=somerandomnumber" tacked onto the end. If any of those work, you should complain to your ISP about their stupid proxy server, or get a different ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexdee Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Can I call you a BRAIN?! Your SHIFT + refresh works. Thanks you man, you helped a lot. DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexdee Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 I would like to ask a question while am here. But from where this IPC image came from. From which software or bla bla, where it belong. This is not a part of Windows, I think. DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 If the Shift+Refresh worked, the IPC image was coming from a proxy or caching server between your browser and the photo.net server, most likely operated by your ISP, university, employer, etc. Often they are called "web acceleration" servers and are promoted as features. Their purpose is to make web browsing seem a little faster, provided you surf the same sites as the ISP's other customers. Your ISP hopes that you won't notice how pathetic your connection actually is, if all you do is browse popular web sites. How the IPC image got there is impossible to say. A lot of these proxy/caching/web acceleration servers are buggy and cause no end of problems. Another possibility, which I didn't mention before, is that you have some kind of firewall running on your box which is stepping on your HTTP (web) traffic, but in this case I'd bet on a proxy/caching server being the problem.
