Here a funny Story :
In last year December after upload my new update of Norton Antivirus I could not longer use my Photoshop ....after a lot of search I found a isolated file - after restore this file ( I got a lot of warnings from Norton how danger this file is ) ...now works my photoshop again ..without any Problems
The strange thing was that my "Image Ready " program works in this time...

A true word is :
We can solve with a computer a problem ...but without a computer we had this problem not !

Alan,
That's good to know that I'm using what the experts recommend. I too entrust my computer security to the company founded by a graduate of a Russian institute co-sponsored by the Russian Ministry of Defence and the KGB.  ;) ::)
At least that's what Wikipedia tells me!  ;D

Hans, have you, by any chance, recently changed your version of IE. If so perhaps it would be worth trying switching off any virus protection you have and then trying to see if the Bulb Log opens?

David ,

I dont know since which time I had a update from IE 10 to IE 11 ...
The update from Norton Antivirus was in end of December last year

I suppose that Norton has nothing to do with this Problem ...because with Firefox is not a Problem

Maybe the NSA is reading Ian's Bulb log too ?

The bulb logs are pdf files.  If you have Adobe reader installed and the Adobe PDF Reader add-on for Internet Explorer enabled then there should not be a problem.  As there is a problem I would try (re-)installing the latesst version of Adobe Reader from here http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/reader.html (I presume this is the UK English version).

Have Windows 8.1 newly installed. Can see the member map in Firefox, but not in Chrome or IE 11.
Bulblog is fine in all three. Antivirus is McAfee.

Exactly the same behaviour with my old Windows 7 machine. There the antivirus is AVG. Member map also OK in Safari.

So it seems to be a browser issue with Chrome and IE 11. (This post is trying to help to identify the issue, not to criticise.)

I would really like to congratulate the team that puts together the SRGC website. It is a large complex site with many many hours of interesting reading. The forum is clearly a great success. You have created a fantastic resource for the alpine / rock gardening community. As someone who looks after some websites, I am filled with admiration with what you have achieved.

You can upload photos from just about any device, I think, Christine - the issue is whether or not you have the capacity ( programme) on that device to reduce the file size to suit the forum restrictions.
