Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) I recently noticed that the bzpower image window(the one that pops up with a bigger version of images in news articles) suddenly stopped working. I've checked both of my advertisement blocker add-on including killjasmin(it instantly closes intrusive popup windows but has never affected bzpower browsing before) and i've tried disabling Ad-Block Plus on the bzpower.com domain but no luck. Any suggestion or answers if news pictures galleries are unavailable at the moment? Edited September 29, 2014 by ---Kopaka Nuva--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestion or answers if news pictures galleries are unavailable at the moment? Recently, the front page, as you probably have already noticed, had a minor overhaul: meaning many of the broken links, features, etc. were either removed or edited. More than likely, the function you mentioned was a casualty of the changes. The best thing you can do is create a Tracker ticket about it here. Generally, issues like these that involve troubleshooting and possibly forum/front page changes go in the Tracker, whereas simple questions regarding BZP, such as questions about what certain parts of the forum interface do, go here in the Q&A forum. -Rez EDIT: Seems like I didn't fully understand the question. Regardless, a tracker ticket may be the way to go. Edited September 29, 2014 by Reznas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do you have an example of the images that don't work? Does it do it on one or all of them that you've tried? I tested a few in my latest review, and they worked for me. But the code is very percise, and I know I've messed it up before when posting stories, so that could be an issue. 1 My BZPower Stories Dark Core--Kulagi's Kanoka--A Shadow's Contrivance--Mystery on Keli-Nui--BZ-Koro: To Bring Back Bionicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, creating a Tracker ticket is probably the way to go. -Rez Edited September 29, 2014 by Reznas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for me. Here are a few questions: do you have Javascript enabled? Have you tried clicking the images on any other browsers, such as Chrome or IE? What version of Windows 8 are you running? Which version of Mozilla are you running? -Rez Edited September 29, 2014 by Reznas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Unresponsive as in nothing happens when you click it? I think the gallery images use JavaScript. Do you have that enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznas Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It appears that Mozilla automatically allows JavaScript to run. There is no enable or disable option available unless you you install add-ons to do it for you. Do you happen to have such an add-on/extension, ---Kopaka Nuva---? -Rez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reznas Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Currently trying to solve it by installing the latest version java Maybe the current java in my system has become severely outdated i'll respond again soon JavaScript is actually very different from Java. Key differences between Java and JavaScript:Java is an OOP programming language while Java Script is an OOP scripting language.Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser while JavaScript code is run on a browser only.Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code are all in text.They require different plug-ins.You can find more information about their differentiation here. In a nutshell, the version of Java installed has no correlation with how JavaScript will function on your browser. -Rez EDIT: Could you answer my previous inquiries? The more information I have about your computer/browser/settings, the better. Have you tried clicking the images on any other browsers, such as Chrome or IE? What version of Windows 8 are you running? Which version of Mozilla are you running? Edited September 29, 2014 by Reznas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Java is not the same as Javascript. Whatever version of Java you have installed or if you have Java installed in the first place has no effect on this. I suspect the issue is in the browser, so check your settings. Maybe an add-on is getting in the way? I see you have an add-on to (mostly, if not entirely) remove the Australis UI from Firefox.

JavaScript isn't restricted to web browsers only and JavaScript doesn't require any additional plug-ins. Sorry for nitpicking. Have you tried clicking the images on any other browsers, such as Chrome or IE? What version of Windows 8 are you running? Which version of Mozilla are you running?I doubt the OS has any effects on this. Anyway, unless he has one of those programs bringing a classic start menu to Windows 8, he seems to be using Windows 8.1. -Gata Edited September 29, 2014 by Gatanui 1 - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Just installed java and restarted the browser, i also checked add-ons and the non java script disabler installed.

This can be closed now and xxcj thanks for giving me the idea to do a extensive check on my java program status :-)Not to take away any credit from xccj (not sure what he has told you anyway), but I can guarantee you that Java had nothing at all to do with this. Pretty sure it was simply the JavaScript disabler add-on. Anyway, glad you fixed this. Keep in mind that generally blocking all JavaScript isn't very useful as it will break many websites, if not most modern websites. -Gata Edited September 29, 2014 by Gatanui 1 - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Reznas Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) When i restarted my browser a bunch of previously clicked new images started popping up and ad-block + didn't affect them Restarting your browser deletes the temporary cache it creates every time you open it up. There might of been a few errors that kept the images from popping up. The restart deleted the cache and probably fixed the problem. Glad the issue is resolved now! -Rez Edited September 29, 2014 by Reznas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
