Problem with previewing images. (Not site issue, just on my pc)
-
@Kevin4fm Just tried with Firefox, and still getting the same issue. Like I said, I don't think it's directly related to this site, as Torrentday won't load either, and a couple of live streaming channels on Plex won't work until I do a reboot. Just no idea why.
One thing you can do to try and find out the cause, using Firefox:
- Go to gaytorrent search page
- Press CTRL+Shift+E to open the Dev Tools' Network tab
- In the filter box, type tpics
- Change the filter mode from "All" to "Images"
- Should look like this:
- Press CTRL+Shift+R to perform a full page reload
- Trigger the opening of the thumbnails when they aren't working
- Click any of the red entries in the Network panel, check the HTTP response status at the Headers side panel:
If you get a status code report it here and we'll try to figure out what's prompting it.

Odd thing is on some sites such as gay-terrents.net picture preview popups still work fine

Another example page
you can delete this if you're able to edit, you were not supposed to show that much info

@frostycab are you using a custom dns provider?
-
@ianfontinell Erm..... no? DNS server assignment is set to automatic.
-
@frostycab if your issue started right when ipv6 was introduced for the tracker, this could very well be a bad router, but in that case i don't think there's much you can do.
next time you can't see thumbnails, try to access pic.gaytor.rent to see if it will timeout or give some other error code. when the site is reachable you should get a 403 message, anything else indicate a bad router.
-
pic.gaytor.rent
I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks. Got a 403 error just now and pics are working since I recently rebooted. I'll see what it does later.
-
@ianfontinell Just tried it again. Pics have disappeared and I can't reach pic.gaytor.rent. I'm guessing that this confirms your suspicions? (Even thouygh I don't understand any of them. LOL)

Specially considering that rebooting the router always fixes the problem, and with uptime it eventually resurfaces, I would say bad router indeed.
-
@ianfontinell Ah! I haven't rebooted the router itself. When I mentioned rebooting I meant the PC.
-
@frostycab yeah that changes things a bit
-
@ianfontinell Cleared cookies again, and have now rebooted PC AND router. Will have to see if things improve. It would be odd if it is the router though, as rebooting just the PC fixes it, at least temporarily. Fingers crossed, and I appreciate the help.

Yes it's leaning more towards a bad DNS request. So next time it comes up, use cmd to erase the dns cache and see if it the pic.gaytor.rent domain start connecting again
Use "ipconfig /flushdns" in cmd when the problem come back.
if this command alone fix the problem, maybe switching to a different dns provider will resolve it more permanently. -
FWIW: I sometimes have this very problem. I have noticed a pattern to it though. When the network load of the server gets to a certain point, I start noticing some interesting behaviour, including this very issue.
Simply put, when the network load level gets too high, not only does this very thing happen for me, but I often get random "Network Error" messages pop up here and there. In some cases, there is even a delay in the pages loading, and it seems that it takes some time to actually process the request and begin to render the content.
Perhaps this issue may be in intermittent issue related to the network demand of the server? Specifically, due to the high load levels, there is a delay or in some cases, even a time out that occurs, resulting in the content not displaying as intended?
@Joker have you heard about this? The frequency at which this happens is often not consistent. I only finally put 2 & 2 together on this issue when I ran into a situation where instead of getting delays (among other strange issues), I actually ran into a full page error message about the network load level being too high. It was a "too many requests" page that more or less said that the page could not be retrieved because the network load level was too high, though I don't get this message very often. Sometimes, the problem lasts all day, while other days, it only happens here and there once in a while, but then goes away. The "Network Error" messages are most common in the messages app.
