Spurious graphic seen at bottom of forum pages

Townman · ‎22-08-2007

Has anyone else seen this...
Was in the forums this afternoon on my iPhone 4 and noticed a picture of "Jaggers" at the bottom of the page... asked OldJim if he knew what's going on, who replied in the vain that I might have lost the plot!
Well something some where has lost the plot!
Photo 3 is Safari on iPad
Photo 4 is Safari on iPhone 4 Version 5.1.1 - note "Jaggers'" photo bottom centre

That appears to be in place of http://community.plus.net/wp-content/themes/plusn-optimized/images/technoratiLogo.gif
If you see his smiling face again, can you tell us what the url of the image is?

Now you come to mention it, I've had spurious images of Jaggies flash up on a few occasions. I don't recall the image staying there or where exactly it appeared, but if it's at the bottom of the screen, I may not have noticed as I rarely scroll that far down.
But can you see what it's replacing, that link is a 404 anyway

Ah, I see Kelly beat me to posting about that.

Kelly · ‎04-04-2007

I want to know the image url, not the url it's linking to.

I meant the Technorati link is a 404 not Jaggies image.

Townman · ‎22-08-2007

Hi Kelly,
If I click the picture, this is what I get - http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://community.plus.net
But I guess that is not what you want - you want the image URL in the HTML page. I cannot work out a way of getting that out of Safari. Note if I run Safari in debug mode, I get 4 JavaScript errors - 3x security policy violations and that something is undefined.
If anyone can suggest how I can get hold of the html from Safari I'll have another go.

with FF you can just right click and select view image.... can you not do something similar with Safari?

Hi Kelly,
I really do not mean to take the mick here, but this is the best laugh I've had in days... do you meant click my touch sensitive screen with the right hand instead of the left hand...

Note I'm seeing this on my iPhone but not iPad - both using Safari.
Context click menus (right click) are a real design issue / no-no for touch sensitive UIs. So much of what we have come to accept as "normal functionality" will in coming years need to be traded out for the benefit of touch sensitive UIs.
I know of no way of "right clicking" on a touch only UI.

Or even "Copy Image Location" - atm he's in hiding

I forgot to say in my earlier post(s) that I'm using FF.

Careful, you'll have PlusComUK posting here

Townman · ‎22-08-2007

Kelly,
Well, be careful!!
By the power of the internet I've now managed to display the HTML of a web page on Safari / iPhone 4 (IOS 5.1.1)
The HTML for the graphic is correct


<img src="/wp-content/themes/plusn-optimized/images/technoratiLogo.gif" alt="Add to Technorati Favourites" border="0" />

I'm concluding that something is screwed on the iPhone's image cache - going to do some more testing.

If anyone is interested in how I did this see here - http://banagale.com/view-source-from-safari-on-ipad.htm - note the difficult bit was recognising that there were some line feeds in the code which meant it did not work first time. Some I saw before I started, one I did not. This worked fine after the second edit.

Well I nearly don't believe it! Looks like my image cache on the iPhone is screwed. I constructed a very simple web page (locally) pointing to said PN graphic... (note the URL reference to the graphic has been made absolute - thought this might have fouled up the test, but apparently not)

When run on the laptop, I got the expected green graphic, when run on my iPhone, I got "Jagger's" beaming face.
I've seen everything now! I'll now have to work out how to fix this... !
Cheers to everyone for their input.

I've seen similar icons being mixed up, also on iOS 5 (iPod touch). The cache data gets mixed up somehow. Clearing the cache and reloading the forums will get it back to 'normal'.

That's RPM to you!!
