Does anyone know why I get the following image errors in tapa and the rwi app?

I get this for about 50% of the for sale post pictures and want to know how to resolve.

Any help appreciated.

They will tell you it’s a tapatalk issue but truth is this is the only forum i follow with such behavior..

It’s really really extremely annoying

I end up subscribing the thread then check it out whenever i can on my desktop

Also if you try web view it gives an error so it adds salt to the wound

It IS a TapaTalk issue! How many of these other fora are on vB5? None I'd be guessing.
Do you know how Tapa works? It's their issue because EVERYTHING you see on tapa is indeed ON Tapa, you are viewing their servers not ours.
Believe me it would be a lot simpler to ditch Tapa entirely, that can be arranged . . .

I know nothing about forum systems. But on RWG it works fine. I guess it's not the same system?

BTW, TapaTalk is terrible and I don't like to use it, the only reason I use it is because is has the "unread by me" list and the ability to mark post as read directly from that list (without entering the thread). Just saying that if this feature is something that can be added to the website, I and maybe other members will not need TapaTalk anymore...

I also can’t view some images on vintage rolex market, so it’s not specific to rwi

As I surf through several forums on my smartphone I use tapa regulary and appreciate it. I have the same problem you described here but in no other forum. Some posts with pictures work well and I presume those pictures were loaded onto tapa.
The tapa-admins say that it is an rwi-issue and you say it's a tapa-issue. I have a lot to do with software integration at work to know that both of you are right :) ...

Anyway, the mobile style of the rwi-internetsite is an alternative for smartphone users. The only thing there is the "donate now" post and the adverts, that cocer my screen completly everytime I want to read a thread or a post. For me that is annoying, though I understand you need the money to run this fantastic forum.

I don't know if admins communicate with other forum admins. The German uhrforum.de is a really good example for a mobile style. There is no difference between the smartphone and the computer version.

Means: I will accept what I see but it is not always fun.

This is the reason I don’t visit Rwi much anymore. I’m almost exclusively browsing on tapa and the majority of photos in posts do not show up. It’s the only forum I visit that this happens on.

I agree, the other highly used rep forum has no issues with images on Tapatalk but this forum I cant view any images. It’s a grey cracked picture icon on every sales thread, not a bunch of codes. It’s highly irritating. The seller can send an image by dm and it shows, but not in the link.

I find that the issue appears to be when pics are included in the original post of a sales thread. If pics are added there, I see nothing, however, once pics are added in subsequent posts, I see those just fine. This appears to be an issue only between Tapa and RWI as I don't have the same problem with RG, TRF, or WUS.

Same here, used to enjoy RWI much more but now nothing seems to work for Tapa like before.. cannot see images, limited notifications, some features do not work, big threads not load at all, not enjoying like before the big crash..

And the point is that we use our smartphones more and more, I cannot browse RWI during work but rather when I am on short break, or waiting for some meeting etc.. plus I take a pic and upload from my phone, always did that and found it convenient
