Wing/star problem

Probably best explained through screenshots.

On the my games page, the first game seems to always 'wing' written where there should be a wing.
i.e. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/Bad_wolf_01/wing2.png

edit: and when I posted this, the wing problem is on the right now on this post.

And on for example the sticky thread game sometimes it looks like it is above, but atm it looks like this:

for my post at the top


seems to be always the post/game at the top of the list.


Not that it particularly bothers me, just curious to why it would be like that, if anyone else is having the problem, and what you could do to fix it?

Seems to be a problem in how your browser displays the alternate tags for pictures. The text you're seeing is the html alt tag. Do you ever have the same problem when viewing any .gif files from any other site?

You could try updating your browser if it's not the newest version. Or go into your "Preferences"or "Options" and see if you can change the way it deals with alt tags, perhaps set them to not show them at all. Other than that, I don't know.

I'm all updated and having the same 'problem' though it doesn't really bother me.

Some times it says Subscriber.

Firefox.

Well, I've never, ever seen this, and I also use Firefox, so I can only assume it has something to do with alt tags in your browser settings or perhaps your Windows Internet settings.

"subscriber" is the alt tag for the star .gif itself, "wing" is the alt tag for both wing .gifs.

Suz, Badwolf doesn't have WING next to his star?

Read his OP again.

He sees the wing text next to a star on the first line of his Games page. He posted a .png of what he sees.

He also says: "edit: and when I posted this, the wing problem is on the right now on this post."


The fact that he and you (and I) see different things leads me to believe it's something in the settings.

I'm not sure what to make of it seemingly "coming and going".

My firefox is pretty much the latest version and I've never noticed this problem before, I haven't changed any settings yet lately either.
I did add block some annoying avatars from certain people though...

It won't have anything to do with settings on your browser, OS or ad-blocking software. In simple terms, your browser can't load the image from the RHP web server.

I'd hazard a guess at it being down to you having a crappy internet service or you're using up all your bandwidth with games, porn, streaming music, etc...

Same here, it has started happening quite frequently not long ago.

On reflection, this makes a lot more sense. After all, the reason for alt tags is in case your computer can't render the image for whatever reason.


I'd make a great customer-service person, eh?

I've refreshed this page and shut my 50 porn tabs and it just won't load for Bad Wolf.

I am having the same problem with the star and and some time the flag.

Sounds like a central server issue or something, considering the amount of people having similar problems.

Seems to be a problem with your first post... it says WING

This post I replied to has the wing and says nothing.
