Staying at Riverside : Show me pics, get me excited!!

[andrewilley]

Yes, I can see pictures posted to this site just fine. But when I try to get into your web page www.portorleans.org by either typing the address or connecting through a link I get the same message. It reads "Internet Explorer cannot open the website www.portorleans.org. Operation aborted." It forces me to close out. I have no clue why.

Now that is weird! So what happens if you try to load one of the same pictures directly into your browser, using a direct link to the same file, such as: http://www.portorleans.org/images/gallery/POR-Island-2007-4320_forum.jpg. That should just open a new window with only the photo in it.

Otherwise, could you try a different browser (either a new version of IE or Firefox/etc)? It's unlikely to be cookies or browser/ad blocking as you said it happens on three different PCs (are they all using the same network connection by the way?)

Yes, I can see the picture through the direct link and yes we are all on the same network connection.

So your PC is accessing the IP address OK, just not displaying the web pages - maybe you've got some ad-blocker/etc that's got muddled? Could you try Firefox for me, and/or try from a different internet connection? (e.g. a neighbour's house or a smartphone using the cell network).

[Edit: to try to track this down, I've created a few basic test pages which might help find out where this is getting blocked for you. Try www.portorleans.org/test.php and the follow-on pages.]

Thank you so much. Switched to Firefox and now it is working.

Great. But it should still work fine in IE though, as that's the main browswer in use today. How odd.

I just came home and there was a Port Orleans picture on the desktop. I asked dd what site she got it from and found out it's from our August trip and she took it with her little point and shoot. It's not professional looking but a beautiful picture for a 13 yr old to take. I was so suprised! Now to figure out how to get it in this thread

 

[pigletto]

Hopefully this works.. this is from August 2010, just before a big rain storm.

She was thrilled that you liked it!
I think you have inadvertantly just cost me a lot of money though

Yes, and it was pretty easy. The laundry was near the quiet pool and so pretty close to our room. My only complaint would be that they are typical laundry mat machines... quick wash, long dry time.
