I'm starting this thread specifically for any questions, queries or technical problems that members viewing the Gallery need help with.
So, for example, if you want help finding a particular image then ask here. If you want to know more details about a particular image, then ask here and if you come across any pesky bugs in the Gallery, then post it here. One little problem that has been pointed out to me this morning is the fact that whilst Alan Rickman is listed in the HP Cast category now, none of the pictures are showing. This is the same for David Thewlis and I have notified our tekkie guru Alex about this. Hopefully all you AR fans will have your pictures up soon. If you would like to address any specific Gallery questions to our Moderating staff KimmyBlair Hagiographer13 birthday twins LizetM blue4t kendra.dumbledore moony_lupin will be happy to assist!  Thanks for your help.

A little comment on that: We've been doing some restructuring and preparing some categories for their content - the ones that are empty shall soon be filled!

Just a quick update on a pesky bug in this forum. All of the polls have gone a bit mental in the conversion. The hard-working tekkies will have them sorted out as soon as possible, but each one needs to be done individually. So for the time being, the polls for book covers, your favourite Dumbledore and film posters are not working.
All the discussion threads are fine though and new polls set up in this forum will be fine, so stay tuned for the March avatar tagline poll coming in the next couple of days. Professor Severus Snape is about to be tagged  !!

I have been having problems viewing the galleries ever since Fiddy Five went online. (I have a Mac and I use Safari v2.0.3)
Is this a problem that is still under repair? An example of one problem: In the thread for pictures from OotP there is a link to the gallery. I click this link and get a page with no content - just the brown background and disclaimer. A few minutes later I tried again, but this time the link seems to work. I see 4 small pictures of Hagrid's hut under construction. I click the first one. It displays fine. I click next. The 2nd one displays fine, but the next one does not come up - just the brown background. This happens every time I try to use the galleries. Sometimes the links work, other times I see just brown background, not even boxes with "?" in them. Very frustrating.

Val_Halla, thanks for the queries
.I have gone through this entire forum since the conversion and all links work. When you click on a link it will take you to the Leaky main news page, and then approximately 5 seconds later, it will take you to the relevant gallery. Your links obviously aren't working and so I have forwarded your query regarding the compatibility of the Galleries and Mac/Safari v2.0.3 to AlexTLC. I'll ask him to report back in here in case anyone else is having the same problem. Lastly, you're correct in that the Jason Isaacs gallery also joins Alan Rickman and David Thewlis in having no pictures...yet. They are coming  , you'll be able to hear Sue squeeee when they are up!!Thanks. |

In response to the compatibility of the Gallery w/ Safari and any other Mac browsers, we hear your cries. We have been having this issue since the galleries and Leaky 5 opened in February and are still working towards a fix. As of now, the best way to browse the galleries is on Firefox 1.5 or Internet Explorer (yes, I know, scary who IE works better than a Mac) on a PC. Firefox on a Mac does work relatively well but there are still problems. Safari has many issues which we are still trying to iron out.
I hope that answers your question. --Alex |

I tried the galleries on Netscape and I had no problem, so I guess it is a Safari problem. *sigh*

Hi dutch_girl. I'm afraid this is the wrong forum for that question. This help thread is specific to queries for the Leaky Galleries.
Knockturn Alley is the place to go for your general forum queries and questions.

I have found another problem in viewing the Galleries that doesn't seem to be related to my browser. I was trying to view screen caps from SS (under this heading)
QUOTE Home : Movies : Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone Film : Screen Captures : Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Screen Captures "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Screen Captures" Image Thumbnails I got a page of 32 thumbnails and an indication at the bottom that there were 82 more pages of thumbnails. I clicked on next, but instead of seeing the next 32 thumbnails, the thumbnails shifted position by one. In other words, the top left photo was replaced by the one to its right and so on down the page with a new thumbnail appearing only in the last position. Several hits on the next button got the same results. I tried another gallery (one with more than 32 pics) and another browser - same results. From my programming days of long ago I'd guess this is an indexing problem - adding 1 to an index instead of 32. -------------------- : ) |
