	Some Civ-groups images not shown Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

When viewing threads, some of the small .gif's that indicate what civ groups posters are a member of, are not shown. It gets kinda annoying, since the layout of the thread gets all jumbled.

I have noticed this with Call to Power: Superleague, and with the Exodus Demo Game from the Civ II forums.

Could someone please fix this?

We have not yet finalised the design of the civgroup icon, so this has nothing to do with Dan.

The CTP2 one is working fine and since it's the only one I'm a member of it's the only one I care about.

There have been some "problems". Dan is looking into it.

The NeuDemogyptica one from the PTWDG is also having issues.

It seems to be some images only being on the forum http server and not on the imageserver.

That's what Frozzy said in the SuperLeague forum...

He said the estimated fix time is sometime October.

No, that's just my personal opinion, because that's when Markos said he would be "less busy" in the army, IIRC.

For all we know it could well be next year until it is fixed, but hopefully not

Well, depending on what the actual reason for the error is it might take different time... I thought that the image server were more or less a direct mirror of the forum server using the same files, just different http deamons, but it seemas as if I've been wrong...

Well, you don't need to know the technical structure behind poly to use poly...

Okay. But in that case it should be possible for the script to filter out those images that can not be shown, for one reason or the other.

As it is now, it is certainly not pretty to look at!!!

Yeah... it does look bad... as I and a few others have pointed out to Dan. His response is that he is aware of the problem, and seeing what needs to be done about it.

Gramphos... if you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to contact Dan

you mean you don't like looking at my broken civgroup icon link?

I am aware of this problem and it is on my perpetually never-ending and way-too-long "to do" list.

Thanks to everyone for their continued patience on this.

Okay...fair enough. Hope for a quick fix, though. But my patience is legendary

Then perhaps the Exodus group and any others draging their feet could submit a temporary blank to be used until they get over their "creative differences."

What do you want to bet it would end up being a broken image also...

And I agree, the cell shift is pretty annoying.

At least it's pretty easy to find my own posts now.

Or make it so that a civgroup could not be activated until they had an image to post.

Or just prune all their previous posts, ban them and delete their accounts, then hunt them down and kill them one by one to prevent them from re-registering.

That's complete overkill...............after all, there is no need to ban them if you are deleting their accounts and hunting them down anyway.

Actually, the CtP SuperLeague has an icon... don't know about Exodus since I haven't looked since it was added to the civgroup list, but you can clearly see (or at least could) an icon when I first joined.

The problems with certain Civgroup icon image deficiencies beside forum posts have been corrected -- sorry for the delay.
