Forum:Images not displaying

<<< Back to Logical Sector • <<< Back to Forum

hey, what's up with all the images? they're not displaying, like there's no actual image, just a red link. like this page. i don't know what happened. i looked at the deletion log too, and no images were deleted. (the school wi-fi is acting up again (of course) and stuff takes forever to load, plus i'm using my iPad) my question is - is stuff actually messed up, or is it just me? ♡80gallonsofgas♡river talk♡contribs♡ 15:04, 29 Arply 2019 (UTC)

First of all, school Wi-Fi is best experienced with a VPN.

Second of all, Illogicopedia is best experienced with a computer; the mobile version is t e r r i b l e. If you can only access it on a mobile device, scroll to the very bottom of the Main Page. There, you will see two links that say Privacy and Desktop. Tap Desktop to enable a rendering of the page that would be identical to how it would be seen on a regular computer, which would enable you to navigate the website more freely.

Third of all, there might be some links and pages that have been adversely affected by our recent MediaWiki update. We have a forum dedicated to pointing out these issues to our sysadmin, so I think it would be best if you brought up this issue over there.

Fourth of all, sjink.

It's not just you, 80Gallons. It's been happening to me too, and I first noticed it when I was creating Template:SCP-userbox and the image of a dead cat wouldn't load. It's not a mobile thing, I've been using a laptop, but it might be a school Wi-Fi thing. I primarily use a school-issued Chromebook which comes with the iBossConnect extension enforced pre-installed. This means that my school's Wi-Fi rules are enforced even when outside school grounds. It very much could be the reason for this bug. Kow Tow to Mao (talk) 02:42, 30 Arply 2019 (UTC)

@2+2=5 - i actually have been using the desktop version. i just don't have a VPN(i'll explain at the end of this). plus, i just didn't realize the other forum was for that (i never really looked at it, lame excuse tho). @Mao - it probably is the school wi-fi. there's a visitor network that "could" fix it, but it's about as fast as dial-up. we have a "device manager" (kinda like the iBoss thing) but i don't think it would affect the images displaying. (we get macbooks next year, idk) (about the VPN - i do have one, but it's on a diskette drive that hooks up to a computer, so it couldn't work now) ♡80gallonsofgas♡river talk♡contribs♡ 13:59, 30 Arply 2019 (UTC)

Can confirm IBOSS does not allow uncyclopedia, illogicopedia, encyclopedia dramatica, and many more. As in images of course. 104.225.183.70 19:14, 20 Octodest 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, it's like, the funkiest thing. I don't know why they don't allow images. (speaking of encyclopedia dramatica, is their site still down? haven't checked it in a while)
