Media problem

[PAUL161]

First time I ever had a problem viewing photos on this site. I keep getting a message that I'm not authorized to view photos on this site! I don't believe it's my computer as I ran all my anti-virus and software fault programs and they came back clear. It's your Pelican Basil, it doesn't want me watching it!

I checked other sites and the problem is only on this site.

You say "you keep getting a message" - is this on only that Pelican image, or can you view other images ok? Are you able to go into the thread for the pelican picture and just not seeing the image, or can you not view the entire thrread (assume you mean my thread in the Photography Group?)

Maybe you've got to be in the photo group as a member?

EDIT: It's a reall cool photo!

It's only on photos inserted in the individual posts. Crazy I know but I have even had a post I clicked on coming up in a different format, similar to a builders site the first time, but when I click on it the second time it comes up as it should. I run windows 11 with everything installed in it to make it run right, W-11 is not my favorite program, but Microsoft has done away with most, if not all of the support for older programs. ??

I didn't realize this, but that seems to be the case. Looking at the Admin area for the "Group" I noticed that Media in the group is only viewable by group members.

PAUL: In order for you to view images IN A GROUP, such as our Photography group, you must be a member of said group. I have just sent you an invitation to join the Photography group - look for a PM. Once you accept (and I approve) you should then be a member of the group and be able to view images.

Try it and let me know. (NOTE: These Group Forums are separate bit of software than the regular forums.)

I forgot about that Doc! But then I might not be able to get into the site at all!

You are now in the group - see if you can view the image now.
