Problem In SeaMonkey

#1

First the url: www.bisonalitiesagain.com It is a frame based site. To look
at the page in question go to: www.bisonalitiesagain.com/bisonindex.html
The CSS is located at www.bisonalitiesagain.com/bison.css

I have a web site that I developed several years ago. The last couple weeks
users have been complaining that the graphics in the left hand column that
show the time and weather in several cities are only showing the alt="****"
and not the graphic and they have to click on the link to get the weather.
These users tell me that they were Netscape Navigator 9.0 users and because
of AOL dropping support for it they have switched to SeaMonkey. I have
checked the site in the following browsers: Navigator 9.0.0.6; Flock 1.1.2;
Safari 3.1.1; FireFox 2.0.0.0.14; Opera 9.27; Exploder 7.0.5730.13; and,
SeaMonkey 1.1.9

They are right, SeaMoney is not displaying the graphics . . . Could this be
a HTML problem or a browser problem???

The all show for me in SeaMonkey 1.1.9. I suspect your users have a
preference set to disallow images that do not come from the originating
server. Those weather images are sourced from outside your server.

Edit - Preferences - Privacy & Security - Images.

Thanks for the quick response. I will check with the users to see if that
is what they have done. It is for sure what I have done here on my browser.

Thanks, again!

Enjoy and be safe!

Ed, I have Seamonkey set to "Accept all images" and do not see them,
only the alt attributes. In all my browsers...

Weird. I see all images in:

SM, Firefox, IE7, Opera and Safari.

Hmm. Firewall? Probably not. Router? Doubtful. Hmm. Do you have a
hosts file that is blocking wunderground.com or its IP? That's where
all the images in question are sourced.

I don't think it is a browser problem.

For:
img
src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/miniStates/language/www/US/CO/Colorado_Springs.gif"

and using that direct link:

Not Found

The requested URL
/weathersticker/miniStates/language/www/US/CO/Colorado_Springs.gif was
not found on this server.

Perhaps 'wunderground' has moved their images to a different URL.

I just clicked your link above and the image displayed. I'll ponder
more on this after I put more laundry in the washer.

Bad DNS lookup from some ISP's?

Sounds like a real possibility. I wonder if those with the issue can
get to http://wunderground.com.

FWIW, I got a 'not found' the first time I tried (-in 1.1.8) and the image
every time thereafter.

No ideas...

Well, we're down to ...

- differences in browsers (not likely, I tested at least 5 and they all
worked)

- firewalls blocking a domain or IP

- host file blcoking a domain or IP

- a browser setting

- a faulty DNS server denying that particular domain

I'm out of ideas. Still curious about the problem, just don't have any
more ideas.

When I was using the wunderground site last winter I noticed that
several times their site was not available. Like maybe the server
can't handle the traffic and shuts down.
