Something completely amiss with the site?

WinsomeWorks

I was uploading & "stopped by" to check on it. But now, for the past half hour, I can't see any of my photos at all. I see all the pages, galleries, featured thumbs, etc., but if I click on a gallery, it appears completely empty.... all of them appear empty. It appears that I'm logged in (i.e., the only option at the bottom of the screen says "logout"). However, none of my typical logged-in buttons such as "upload" or "tools" show up. In fact, no buttons show up. Is it me, or is it you?! :scratch

The same thing happened to me earlier in the day. I cleared my browser cache and everything showed up. I'd suggest trying that.

Thanks, John-- only one problem... You may not believe this, but I don't even know how to clear the cache, and my head computer guru has gone to bed. I've never actually done that myself; guess I never really had to. I'm in FF. Is it under "tools" > "clear recent history"? That's the only thing I'm finding. I fell asleep myself here for a bit, but when I checked again just now, my photos were still "invisible" to me. (I didn't try that button yet; wanted to ask first).

In FF, Tools > Clear Recent History and make sure that only the [X] Cache item is checked, the click on "Clear Now". Then, shut down all FF windows and restart. For whatever it's worth, the one gallery of yours I looked at is working fine for me in FF so it's probably something local to your computer.

That did the trick, John. All my photos reappeared. Well, at least I now know how to clear the cache. Thanks a mil! Will be leaving the computer behind tomorrow, so now I can take care of a few things first. Am on a less-familiar laptop, so I don't know what might be the issue, if it's with the computer.

I get the "everything but photos" showing in Smugmug style quite a bit. I go
into "options" "advanced tab" "network" and as soon as I click "clear now" the
photos immediately pop in.
Status is usually hung linking to cdn. If I don't
clear cache it takes about 20-30 sec for photos to show.
