texterted Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Hi Gang. One of my members posted about his issue, since I don't have any Apple devices to test with, I'm asking for your help please! Quote Question - what does a iPad have that an iPhone doesn’t? No, it’s not a joke! On my phone I can view the forum normally and I can post pictures from my usual site (Post Image). My pad only allows me to see images from certain sites. If, foe example, I want to see Andy’s image in the photo competition I need to use the phone. I can see Graham’s images on both. On Brian’s thread, I can’t see his pics but I can see Stuart and Spike’s. Something is blocking certain sites on the pad (for whatever reason) but the phone doesn’t. This literally happened overnight. One day it was fine, next not. So, where should I look? It’s totally spoiling my enjoyment of the forum - pictures are everything to me!

texterted Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 It seems to be images posted on this host https://postimages.org/ I can't link to the posts on my site as it's in a non-guest viewable area. However, viewing the thread on my Windows PC running Chrome, with an ad-blocker, Blocks the images too. So, I suspect the browser on his iPad has an ad-blocker and it's treating the images as adverts. Anyone got an iPad and know how to turn the ad blocker off?
Dean_ Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I would’ve said an extension on the iPad he doesn’t realise is on or, configured in such a way as it’s isolated to the iPad. texterted 1
texterted Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 Problem Solved! Turns out he had some MacAfee app running on there. He deleted it and the problem went with it. I told him he'd be better off with a virus. Anyway, thanks guys! 🙂 Dean_ 1
