Just a few meters away from Erebus.

Why is it that I can't seem to view a number of these great panorama jpgs you guys post? I've tried with both Firefox and IE6.

I have no idea -it works fine here.

Few meters, are you sure, jvandriel?
Consider those are PanCam images... using parallax calculator, Oppy still about 60m from the rim!

Perhaps you have a pop-up blocker that's interfering. Try holding down the CTRL key when you select the image.

No, that isn't it. I get this message on the browser:

The image “http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1576” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Perrhaps it's on a server that I don't have access to somehow.

[djellison]

Well - it doesnt contain errors, because I can see it fine ( and clearly, so can loads of other people )

Antoniseb,

Maybe you can save the file to disk (right click it, save link as...).
then open it with another image viewing program. Does that work?

[helvick]

Any chance that your service provider is filtering\"optimising" your connection, or that you have a firewall\AV running that is choking on some of the larger images?

I reckon I read >98% of all messages here at the moment and view all linked images - I've never had a repeatable issue with stuff hosted on UMSF.

Ditto. It's not like me actually running it helps, because the hosting company is in the US, and I'm in the UK - it's not like the server's under my stairs or something

The odd page not found, but clicking again and it works...

but I must admit - from 1.2 million post views, I've never heard mention of attachments not working properly

I've had a problem somewhat like this... mine was due to unknowingly having two fierwalls running. Agnitum Outpost, which has worked fine for me in the past, was the one objecting to the situation so I turned it off and things have been fine since.

Your problem is perhaps not the same but I would check firewall, virus scanner and pop-up blockers.

Antoniseb--

We should probably take this up in another forum. I've had the same problem for at least three months with 30% of the images here, and occasionally at other sites as well. I receive the identical error as you:

The image “http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1576” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I've done a bit of research, talked to Road Runner (my cable operator), and have still found no solution. If you figure it out, let us know.

Edit: Joffan-- Thanks for the advice. I checked out the firewall, antivirus and pop-up prgrams, all to no avail. You'd think it'd be something obvious like that.

I frequently have the "contains errors" problem.

I've had the same problem on my home computers since mid July. It seems to be limited to large files (~ 1Mbyte) that are hosted on unmannedspaceflight. Large files that are actually hosted elsewhere (e.g. marsgeo.com) don't have the problem.

Since I don't have the problem at my work address, and I have the problem on multiple computers at home, I thought it might have something to do with my ISP.

My home computers are all running WindowsXP SP2 and IE6.02, but have different firewalls: Norton, Windows, or McAfee. Disabling firewall doesn't seem to fix it.

Dilo,

for Opportunity is 60 meters, a few meters, after driving 6 km ( 3.7 miles ).
