Most of the time, when I do a Google image search, and pick on an image, it takes me to a page where I can choose to see the picture alone, go to the web page for that image, etc. Here's an example: [1].
If I don't want to do anything else with it, I can always hit the back button.
But, occasionally, I go to an image preview and it seems to hijack my browser, taking me immediately to the web page, like this one: [2]
The worst part is, I can't just hit the back button, or it goes right back to the same web site. If I hit the back button many times really fast, sometimes I can go back, but maybe too far.
So, what's going on here and how do I stop this behavior ? Does it do this for everyone else, too ? I'm on windows XP SP3 using Firefox 15.0.1. StuRat ( talk) 06:35, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
In a computer with 48 SAS HDDs, the device names for the first 26 HDDs would be /dev/sda to /dev/sdz. What would be the device names for the remaining 22 HDDs? Now I don't actually have a computer with four dozen HDDs, nor am I planning to buy or build such a computer (presuming such a computer even exists), but I'm very curious to know. (Presuming that all the 48 HDDs are directly connected via HBAs, and there is no hardware RAID.) 08:04, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
If a program does not run well under WINE, what can you do to improve it's compatibility? I'd like to run PDF-XChange Viewer, which is said to work well for some people, but I crashed with some specific pdf files or some commands (like find). OsmanRF34 ( talk) 13:16, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Look at the appdb.winehq.org page on the application, note the application (viewer) and Wine versions. For more problematic applications (that are also somewhat popular), there are also often detailed instructions for making things work. ¦ Reisio ( talk) 01:01, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my private wiki (personal server) at the moment. im currently trying to get some images to display on one of my articles. i have edited the local settings.php which means i can successfully upload images, but when i try and display them using the [[file:blah.jpg]] code the image doesn't display, it just shows up with a broken link icon ><
it seems to me its a problem with authorization but i cant seem to find where, is it a server problem? or do i have to authorize the use of images somewhere? any help with this would be fantastic as im really stuck.

Thanks for the advice, i just tried that, when putting complete file path into the URL e.g. blah.com/wiki/images/9/imageiwant.jpg i get a server 403 error, saying i don't have permission :S BUT if i ftp an image into the file above e.g. /images i can access that though the a URL and it display fine, its weird because wiki uploaded the images (with correct height/width and image size) and put them in folder images/9 or images/9e etc but now cant seem to pull them out :S — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nixxy00 ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
