WEB GURU NEEDED
By Michelle Malkin · November 28, 2004 02:13 PM
Reader Michael S. Sanders asks if he is "the only one who cannot download any of your graphics on your site." No, Michael, you are not the only one. It's a pretty common problem, unfortunately. Is there anyone out there who can help? If so, my e-mail address is malkin@comcast.net.

I didn't have any problem. I just went to her web site as linked above, rightclicked on the picture of Ronald Reagan, and downloaded it to my desktop as a jpg file.
Alternatively, you can rightclick on it, select Copy, and then Paste the picture into some suitable program on your computer. For instance, paste it into an MS Word document and then print it.
Perhaps the problem is already fixed, I had no problem saving images on her website to my desktop.
Michele,
I volunteer to help you with anything.

A good example: your post appeared totally blank on my screen. I scanned it with the cursor and three blue cubes appeared in the left margin. I right-click on each of these, choose "view image" and the image appears in another window. This does not happen with Internet Explorer, but I am using Firefox. (PS: I know there are four pictures of Michelle --thank you for that!-- because I can see them when I use the IE browser. Firefox shows only three.)
Anybody got a fix?
bracing for obligatory "are you logged on?" responses....
I didn't have any problem either, but apparently she's been getting a lot of complaints from people who have, hence her request for assistance.
It's possible that the problems are due to specific circumstances that aren't shared by you or I, and would be best addressed by a website / network specialist.
My hope is that any Freepers who eat, breath, and sleep Hex code, think that optimizing a Unix firewall is something so simple that you wonder why it isn't taught in Kindergarten and have tweaked their home computers to interface with a human transporter peripheral might consider contacting Michelle and rescue a damsel in distress :-)
I'm using the latest MSIE. Maybe her site is incompatible with Firefox?
Well...are you?
All your download are belong to us!
I'm using firefox 1.0 on nt and I can see all 4 images of, well, the babe. You might hit refresh and see what happens - maybe the image/computer wasn't available for a short period of time. (can also see all 4 images in ie on nt). fyi.
Malkin's site is compatible with Firefox. I just downloaded the Reagan picture.
Could be the problem is temporary overloads on the server. When a bunch of people from FR all go over there at once, it could put a strain on it.
Evidently it's not Firefox. Maybe overload, maybe something in Lancer's security settings?
I'm running Windows XP SP2, but I've tweaked some of my security settings since installing SP2.
I tried copying and printing an article from her website once and it cut off about 10% of the right hand side.
This sounds like a problem not with her website, but with the formatting as it appears in your browser. A couple of easy fixes to consider: Select (highlight) the text you want to print, right click, select Print, select "Print Selection", Print. This way, only the Selected text will print, eliminating the web page structures that are interfering with the formatting.
Alternatively, you can Select the text, then copy and past it into any word processor application, where you can optimize the formatting to your own needs.
That's exactly how I did it. Highlight>print>print selection.
On Mozilla, I am seeing it all with no problem or delay.
I'm seeing them all in Firefox too.
