I thought I'd repost this with a name that more accurately describes the problem along with it's cause.

I have problems in viewing the scans that I can download. When I click the download button for the scan I selected, a page will load but the scan can't be seen. Thanks for the help and concern about this problem of mine.P.S. - This only happens to me in viewing the scan that I want to download, but I can see images from the pages present in minitokyo. Thanks again
My response to the thread:
Quote by dccafdfI think this is an MT issue not a browser issue.
What's happening is that the image links are broken.
You'll notice that every image that loads has a file extension. (Minitokyo_scan_xxxxx.jpg)
Every image that doesn't load, is missing the file extension (Minitokyo_scan_xxxxx).
Because the file extension is missing the browser won't load it. No browser will load it.What's happening is that with Firefox it isn't even displaying the broken window with an X in it, so theres nothing to click.
With other browsers you get a big broken window with an X in it, so you can right click save, and add the .jpg extension to the end and click save.
I've found that when an Image is broken like this the only way to get at it in Firefox (without wasting your free download qouta or credits) is to right click the tab and hit "duplicate tab" and try and right click the broken window as fast as you can before it disappears. Takes me a good 2-8 trys like this to be able to get to the point where I can save the image.
This is really annoying because I DO use firefox, and this problem has costed me a good 10-20 free download quota (hitting back / forward / refresh) before I realised what the problem was. My solution with Firefox was so annoyingly time consuming I had to open a different browser to get at the broken images. I have been seeing that roughly 1 in every 4-7 scans in my notifications / favorites has no file extension and thus presents this problem.
