OK... Question 1 is this: Who of all of you are considering going to 11th Street Coffee Shop this Friday evening?
Question 2 : I can see my new avatar on MY computer but
Tom looks on his and it just isn't there.....Can you see it and what do you think might be up?
Please post a reply for this ,OK?

Answer to the first, not I as I rather stay within the confines of my home and sleep.

Answer to number two: I see an avatar

I don't see an avatar. Hmmmm, he & I both use Macs, right? PM the question to Dark Vader, our admin & Mac specialist.

I might go, it depends on what time I get off, but I will be going to whatever happens after that. I think vicious_blood is going to.

JaNell...you answered one of my questions... what about"are you going to the Coffee Shop?"

I will let you know about tomorrow.

I do not see an avatar, but I am also on a Mac.

I show it on mine and plan to be there.

Yes.

I don't live in Knoxville, so 11th street's a no-go for me.

I don't see an avatar, and I'm using windoze.

At first I could not see the picture. I then checked the URL to make sure it was working properly. It was so I right clicked thew red X and clicked show picture. That seemed to fix the issue.

yeah but its probably just pulling the pic from cache now. think the pic was inserted into her profile wrong? or the site doesn't allow offsite images. *shrugs* :\

Vader said the image was no longer availale, thus the difficulty. I'll have Tom set her up with a new one. Thanks guys!

As for the Coffee shop, hope to see you all there!

I checked that and it seemed fine, if you put iht url of the avatar in a browser address bar, it comes up fine. I'll check the profile sectionjust to be sure though. I think it's a cashe issue to do with the outage.

OK, I'm an idiot, but I just gotta ask... what is a cashe?

Forgive me, but I'm technologically retarded.

*sigh* ......i'm just gonna get a new avatar.....this is getting on my nerves.....Oh-look! Its about time for me and Mother Mo to be at 11th Street! If nobody's there yet... I'll just play at Fort Kid. Its a nicer day today than the last few we've had....

Alot of ISPs and web servers save images and such for a limited time once a user has accessed them from another part of the web. The reason for this is that it makes bringing up the page you requested faster.

...which from the point of web application development is an aberration of responsibility. To date I have yet to encounter a single webpage caching mechanism that didn't clobber web applications horribly. Mind you this is partly due to the web application developers not accounting for the possibility of a web cache engine. However more often than not the web caching engine is over zealous in caching http traffic and does naughty things like cache authentication tokens, application level cookies, and other extraneous bits of http that break things. Additionally the web cache engines often mismanage the state of a dynamic page (like the Knoxgothic forum) and do not provide the latest version. So on a service by service basis people can run into these kinds of issues.

this is from the website that you have that picture on. they probably have the ability for people to link to their graphics disabled.
