Hi all,

Some externally-sourced images do not present properly in all browsers that

I notice this especially with IE 9 and IE 8. The root source is apparently
violation of browser privacy rules (even set to medium or low) when accessing
the image file attempts to deliver cookies to the client from a domain other
than that of the blog site. (When the image is accessed directly in these
browsers, the user is asked whether to download or display it, rather than
having it be automatically displayed.)
Since it seems inappropriate to request visitors to the blog to lower their
browser privacy settings, it would be useful to avoid this problem for casual
users and visitors.
This happens with the post that Hagar prepared that is now available at<
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/the_community_forum_new_year> as of today. The graphic
is at<
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=13066&mode=view>. The
post is not comprehensible without the graphic.
This does *not* happen with Armin's beautiful graphic in the post from yesterday:<
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/features_for_graphicobjects_and_oleobjects>.
The difference is that Armin's graphic was uploaded to the blog site.
It would be a good thing to find out how that was done and to follow in Armin's
footsteps.

That's not really complicated, after login in the 'New entry' View, go
to 'Media files' in the brown toolbar. Click your way on images and
choose 'Add media file' from the right control pad. The rest should be
self-explaining.
The reason this is not widely used is that the Apache Roller Weblogger
on default adds graphics only as thumbnails on which the reader has to
click to get the original graphic loaded. There seems to be no direct
way to change that default. I also did not like that and (with Ollis
help) we found out that in the HTTP source there is a '?t=true' added to
one of the links representing the graphic. Removing this makes the
graphic appear full size; we guessed that it's a 'tiny' flag...
HTH!
Sincerely,
Armin
