I have a small photo blog in my web tab, nothing perverted or adult’ish in any way, just a few simple things except for one image that i recently noticed wasn't showing up.

After checked the main site, and it seeing it was fine, i replaced the image, but the web profile still would not show the image, which was odd as it was the only image not showing up. However, I then changed the name of the image, and bingo it showed up instantly within the web tab, changed it back, and poof it was gone again.

The only thing that made a difference between it showing up and not showing up was the name of the image itself, if it contained the phrase “boycott” as part of the file name, it would not show up in my web profile tab.

I'm curious if this was an odd fluke or has anyone else noticed any filtered going on with the web tab?

That is just weird. Probably something wrong with LL's mozilla implementation.

There are definetly problems with the web tab. When I first put mine up, none of the images would show. I could visit the page with Firefox and see the images, but they would not load in the web tab. I reduced the page to an HTML, BODY and a single IMG tag and I still could not get the image to display. I then uploaded an image from another web site, and put it on the page, and voila, it appeared in the web tab! Could there be something wrong with my images? I played around forever before I discovered that my images contained an underscore character in the file name, as in "persephone_001.jpg" and that if I remove the underscore the image displays just fine. So, I went about the process of renaming all of my image files, and this fixed the problem.

Yesterday, I looked at my web tab, and none of my images were showing again. Argh! This was after an entire week where everything was fine - and I had not edited the page. I asked a friend to view my profile, and she could see the images. Hmmmm ... the web tab is rendering differently for different people.

Today, I can see the images. I have done nothing to fix the problem, and yet it is gone.

I have a feeling that the problem lies in a local cache of the web page and images ... and this is why the experience can be different for two different people.
