I reset to 1, then open new window, restart firefox, follow instructions, and always the settings are back the large numbers. I only get Chat roulette pics or blank spaces. Please help, I've been reading the forum for clues but can't fine any.

Type "about:config" as the web address. Filter for Add-Art. Change the current image set to 58 and it will last another 2 weeks. 59, and it will go another month.

The real solution is what I'm always talking about here, which is creating a way to subscribe to feeds of images. We need code development for that...

Is there a way to KEEP the current gallery? Sometimes i like the selected images a lot, but sometimes...

Well, is there a way to stay with one gallery for a long period of time? :)

You want reset the config file so add-art knows to check for new work. The instructions are here:

I've just had to uninstall all my add-ons to troubleshoot a Firefox problem and when I reinstalled Add-Art I'm seeing an old show, not the most recent one, but one from about 6-8 shows ago. Do I need to somehow refresh or manually update my Add-art add-on?

Really enjoying add-art - thanks! One small complaint - when y'all send out the new images it triggers a drop-down alert telling me that it's happened. That's fine, but I have Firefox set up to open up multiple windows when I launch it and I"m getting a drop-down on every window. Not a huge deal but kind of annoying. Maybe you could set it up like most other FF addons so it opens up a tab in one of the windows instead of the multiple drop-downs?
I'm on a Mac, 10.4.11, FF 3.0.10
Thanks!
ALbo

I was using ad-art instead of add-art at about:config. the rest of your instructions to others did the trick and eventually the art downloaded and after a couple of restarts the art is showing. hat's off for your patience!

]]> sonburn on "About:config" http://forum.add-art.org/topic/aboutconfig#post-268 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 20:18:28 +0000 sonburn 268@http://forum.add-art.org/ This may or may not be a new twist. Like many other posts I have ads being blocked but no art showing. Have disabled all other add ons (except Ad Block and Ad-Art) and gone through all the other suggestions. Ad-Art doesnt even show up in about:config. I am using the most recent version of Firefox 3.0.6 and dont have any other script blocking going on.

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. Your concept here is a million dollar idea and I'd love to see it in action.

Best wishes from Seattle

I'm releasing each update with the black show for, as I said before, boring technical reasons. Someday it might be smoother, but for now that's how it works. And we should be updating the extension infrequently as it's pretty stable now.

]]> Linda on "I see black boxes, how do I fix it?" http://forum.add-art.org/topic/im-back-to-black-boxes#post-144 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:35:39 +0000 Linda 144@http://forum.add-art.org/ Thanks. That is so weird. I had already done that a couple of days ago after getting the black boxes, it went back to the arabia show, I got the message today about new art, and then it went back to black boxes and different settings!

But I reset those settings to 1 again like you said, and now I'm seeing the new show for the first time.

]]> Steve on "I see black boxes, how do I fix it?" http://forum.add-art.org/topic/im-back-to-black-boxes#post-143 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:12:56 +0000 Steve 143@http://forum.add-art.org/ wow, you got the settings and everything.

Ok going into detail on how to force add-art to load the latest art for everyone else. Note, you don't need to do this. Add-Art updates automatically every two weeks. It's just for those that want to to get rid of the black boxes or for troubleshooting or impatient reasons.

Black boxes come with the update for boring technical reasons. here's what you need to do.

1. enter "about:config" without the quotes as your url (no http blah blah, just about:config) and hit enter

2. Next to filter, type add-art

3. Then:
Set currentImageSet=1
Set expiration=1
by double clicking on the settings

4. Open a new window. (Like File > New Window)

5. It will take a little time, but add-art will download the latest show in the background. You'll get the restart notice and then, after you restart, you should be set!

I'm marking this as resolved, but let me know if you have any trouble.

Just restarted FF, too.

Things seem to have been changing for me too!
This time most of the ads have an image installed in there...
Even on the addresses I added myself to adblock.

Just a few don't work- for example on amazon.com- I get the broken image icon, even though I can see the url of the addart image when I copy the address.

But on amazon.co.uk I get the addart image...

In general it seems like most of the time the images are coming up now and it looks great- more subtle than I imagined it, the Valie Export pictures look very mysterious...

Thanks for your help!
Liz

Re the .gif images, well, we've all done something like that! Maybe a set of empty images is like an art spinoff of the black images.

]]> Steve on "broken images instead of art" http://forum.add-art.org/topic/broken-images-instead-of-art#post-92 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:25:15 +0000 Steve 92@http://forum.add-art.org/ Linda,

Add-Art replaces *most* ads, but not all of them. The ones we can't catch go white, as they would with just Ad-Block Plus. Scripts based ads are some of those.

Some of the images in the new show are pixelated, yes.

Sounds like your install is back to normal. What happened was that I left a set of images that ended in .gif instead of .jpg on the server. The plugin was downloading those instead of the correct set. I had found the mistake and corrected it, but missed it on the server. Whoops.

Now, those with broken images, I'd like to solve that one. Anyone still having that problem?

]]> Linda on "broken images instead of art" http://forum.add-art.org/topic/broken-images-instead-of-art#post-91 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:10:59 +0000 Linda 91@http://forum.add-art.org/ Hi Steve,

I am seeing the new art now. However, this is strange, SOME ads have only white space. I'm not sure if it was always like this because there's really no easy way to tell just by looking in Firefox. I just checked in IE, however, and I can see where there are more ads that aren't being replaced by art in Firefox. (Just white space, no "block" tags or anything else. But if I rest my mouse cursor over them, I see the "artbanner" tooltip.) You know what, some of them are "ads by Google" in IE.

On another note, a lot of the new images look very pixelated -- I'm guessing that the curator just submitted them that way?

Thanks,
Linda

Today when you open a new window add-art should download new art. Let me know if it works for you. If so, my theory is correct and I will explain...

]]> Linda on "broken images instead of art" http://forum.add-art.org/topic/broken-images-instead-of-art#post-88 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:44:27 +0000 Linda 88@http://forum.add-art.org/ Hi Steve,

The add-on is there and enabled, and it's definitely the right one because it has the version # and the "Black Monochrome Paintings..." title.

Also, I'm not getting the little "block" tags that I used to get with just Adblock Plus, so it seems like add-art must be doing SOMETHING.

However, I just noticed that for SOME of the spaces, my mouse cursor changes and I see an ad URL on the status line. For OTHER spaces, my mouse cursor doesn't change, but I get a little "artbanner" tooltip. And for EVEN OTHERS, I don't even get the tooltip.

Cheers,
Linda

SInce I can't reproduce it on my machine, the only way I can figure out what's happening is with your feedback...

@Linda - the white space is odd. Makes me think add-art isn't enabled maybe? Can you check in the menu bar Tools > Add-ons and make sure that add-art is enabled? Let me know.

@lizhereinlondon - can you right click on the broken images and copy the image URL? Let me know what it is. Thanks!

You are correct -- I'm getting white space, not broken images. All the previous shows worked for me, and I've had add-art since the beginning.

However-
it's still not working. It never has yet as far as I know.
But at least now I'm getting broken images instead of nothing at all...
I followed your advice to Linda- and reset the integer to 3 in about:config

This is the version of firefox I'm using (updated today)

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.15) Gecko/20080623 Firefox/2.0.0.15
