I am getting these strange image renders in Gallery and it seems to happen with IE6 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021108 Phoenix/0.4 on Windows 2000 Pro SP3

When I use Linux with Netscape 4.78, the problem doesn't occur. SOmetimes it happens to the thumbnails, sometimes the sized and originals. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Thanks.

Just a wild guess, but do you have an older ATI card? These are known to have some severe problems (in general, not specifically while viewing gallery) that come and go. If so, try making sure that you have the most current video drivers installed. See for reference: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104992

That looks like a broken upload to me. Can you checksum the uploaded image and make sure that it's the same as the original on your destop pc?

Nope, I have a GForce 2 mx/mx 400.

I'm running Samba on my Linux box and can view the images just fine from my PC when double clicking.

Here's what I am thinking is causing it. I run a linux box at home and am using http://www.dyndns.org/ to forward to my intranet. Changing the PhotoAlbumURL and AlbumDirURL from my home network IP to the DynDns is when it started. If I change back to the internal IP, IE and Mozilla render the photos correctly. I just checked. But now, the links won't work from external.

What's up with that?

That's mighty odd. I'm still very curious about the checksums, though. Can you put it back to the state where it's publically accessible and then perform the checksums on the raw files. If the files on the filesystem are the same then we can try to narrow this down to which transport layer is hosing the transfer.

Well I ran cksum on the image PA250025.jpg on the Linux system and got:
2155609314 604193 PA250025.jpg

Then I saved it from the browser (it was messed up) and got:
2021198089 604193 PA250025.jpg

Note the first number changed on the messed up one. I don't know much about cksum but what does that tell you?

So it would appear that the file is getting corrupted on upload. What version of Apache and PHP are you using? Also, can you create a test album and user so that we can test uploading to see if we can reproduce the problem with our browsers?
