Why are my avatars and images not showing up?

[Boylen33]

Why does my forum look like this? It's not just my computer...it's several other users as well. Please help!!!!

Attachment 150250

Try clearing the vbulletin cache and then rebuilding your avatars in the maintenance section.

Also, if you are using tthe file system to store those images make sure the permissions are set to read and write. (777 chmod)

[Boylen33]

Tried that. I actually hired someone from this forum to fix it and even he couldn't figure it out.

Did you move the attachments into the filesystem admincp/Attachments/Attachment Storage Type

[RichieBoy67]

I will take a look free of charge if you want to give me admin access. Check file paths, permissions, rebuild avatars, etc..

##Have you changed anything recently? Installed anything or moved the site? Upgraded hosting? Anything at all?

Went to check and it says they are being stored in the database and asks me to specify the attachment file path. Where do I find this? On my server fia FTP?

[ForceHSS]

if they are in the database that's ok as its default. If you want to move them to the file system make a folder in your ftp root call it attachments change permissions to 777 then go to your admincp/Maintenance/View PHP Info you will find the file path there or let Richie fix the problem you are having with them now and he can do the above as well once the missing images have been fixed

When did that start happening? What version of vB? What version of PHP on the server?

Try adding this line to your .htaccess file:

Header unset Content-disposition

That header has caused us nothing but trouble with new browsers. Any filenames with a space result in a double header being sent, which causes new browsers to not display the image.

[findingpeace]

Slightly better solution is to leave the header enabled, but add something like this into image.php:

$nocom = str_replace(",", "", $imageinfo['filename']);
header('Pragma:'); // VBIV-8269 
header('Cache-control: max-age=31536000');
header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', (TIMENOW + 31536000)) . ' GMT');
header('Content-disposition: inline; filename=' . $nocom);

There's also a hook up there, so I'm sure you could just do the same with a hook.
