Problem with Spoiler boxes not opening

#1

Post by Everso Biggyballies »

I have just noticed an issue where I am not able to open spoiler boxes.
I just posted some crash images here http://www.the-fastlane.co.uk/forums/vi ... 77#p403577, but because they were marginally graphic put them behind a spoiler. However I cant open the spoiler box after I posted.... the show button appears but click it and nothing opens.

I noticed in the same thread (a post above the one linked) @FedBet57 also put some images behind a spoiler. That spoiler box does not open either. For all I know we have posted the same pictures :dunno:

As an experiment I tried posting a test post with no images, just text, behind a spoiler. That worked fine, so it is clearly an issue just with posting images behind a spoiler. (I deleted that post btw as It just said blah blah blah as a test)

EDIT: OK the plot thickens.... after finding that text shows ok in the spoiler box, I added some text to the spoilerI had posted that would not open, and now it opens and shows both the text and images. Go figure

I still cant open the spoiler box that FedBet posted though.

I'll post here two spoilers, the first one has only a text behind it, the second has some photos. Tell me if you still have an issue
Can you see it? :cool:

Maybe a setting with an adblocker. I had a moment when i could not see twitter posts. An adblocker prevented it.

I am using Chrome with Adblock. Incidentally I said once I posted Text with the images earlier they showed. I just went to check one of my earlier posts and again nothing in spoilers opens.

Can everyone else see the contents of the spoiler here (I cant): http://www.the-fastlane.co.uk/forums/vi ... 77#p403577

Just thinking aloud, when I could not see my spoilers I was probably using my laptop (Apple Macbook Air) yet I was on my (Windows) PC when I could see them. Use Chrome and Adblock on both. I will go upstairs and check on my PC if that is the case later.

That's a really good point. I have Adblock disabled on this forum, since there are no ads...

Chris, I suggest you disable it for this site. I can see all spoilers, including the one you just linked to, without any issues.

@PTRACER @erwin greven Bingo.... Adblock disabled on TFL and all good now.... even my laptop shows everything in the spoilers. Thanks guys for working it out.

Apologies to @FedBet57 as not being able to see images posted inside his spoiler in the thread referred to I posted some duplicate images in my spoiler...... I have just become aware some of mine are duplicates.

I've been having a similar-ish issue with the site, not with spoiler boxes but with embedded videos. They don't seem to be showing up when I view the site using chrome on my phone (pic in spoiler):

Took a little while, but I sorted the problem.
