Taken from discussion page at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kingboyk#NI_Portal:_pics_not_displaying.3F (edited) Description: I run Win XP SP2. In Firefox 1.5 (IBM version) the pictures were visible. In IE, looking at the portal page the two pictures (van and george) are NOT visible. However they are clickable, and clicking on places where they should be takes you to the image page where they are visible. Refreshes or purges have no effect. I use popups and if I just hold my cursor over the place where the images should be popups work, that is I get a popup with the image info in it just as if they were visible. I went to Portal:Northern Ireland/Selected article, which is where the Van pic and text come from, and the pic displays there fine. Ditto for Portal:Northern Ireland/Selected biography which is where the George pic comes from, that pic displays THERE fine too. Additionally, right-clicking on the imagesreveals that "Show image" is greyed out. Steps to reproduce: Access the Portal:Northern Ireland page in wikpedia using Internet Explorer 6 Expected result: All images should display. Actual result: Three images do not display - areas where images should be are plain white (the background colour). Additional information: I have asked two other editors to investigate this, and both have reported the same problem. Our discussion on this can be found at the URL I pasted in at the top of this description.
Confirmed in IE 6.0 on Windows 98 (logged-out/cached, and logged in); looks ok in IE 7 beta 2 on Windows XPSP2. I can save the images from IE and load them back up from disk (in IE) and they display ok. Not sure why they're not displaying inline; usually that kind of thing is due to bogus ad-stripping proxies but a) I don't have one :) and b) they don't have the usually suspisious URL (eg "/a/ad/").
Attaching it to bug "Internet Explorer (IE) issues on Windows (tracking)".
IE 6.0 is still ~5% http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2010-12/SquidReportClients.htm
Permalink for the link in the opening post: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kingboyk&oldid=112292823#NI_Portal:_pics_not_displaying.3F (as it was no longer where the link was pointing to)
Because this page transcludes other pages, here's the sub states: George Best: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Northern_Ireland/Selected_biography&oldid=43402580 Van Morrison: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Northern_Ireland/Selected_article&oldid=43402635
Has this been tested with a more recent version of MediaWiki?
