MySpace Tracker "Identify IP" Issue Options

[naecya]

Hi,

I'm experiencing an interesting thing happen when I attempt to identify an initial anonymous IP on the CB MySpace Tracker.

As of this morning, any time I input either the member ID or their URL name, instead of having their current default image appear, I get a tiny black square with a dot in the center of it. When I click back to the actual Tracker log, the now "identified" hit shows up with a completely black square where their default image should appear instead. This has happened multiple times this morning - not a one person I've identified out of 5 had their default picture appear... only a black square.

I thought maybe it was an issue with my home computer but I'm at work now and am experiencing the same thing. I thought maybe it was a MySpace issue - that maybe, after the first time, it might have had something to do with the person having their settings on "no picture forwarding." But when it's been 5 in a row and with people I know and have previously identified without problems but are now being tracked at a different IP address... hmmm... this leads me to conclude it may actually be a CB issue. I had this happen once before a few weeks back - but it only happened with one attempt to identify. Yes, the person's name shows up - just no image.

Does anyone have any answers to this one?

Is there something I may have done to cause this to happen on my end? (Note - I've not touched my CB settings in quite some time).

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Staff? Is this something you are already aware of?

Thanks!
Renée

You are right - it is against the TOS - yet there are many trackers out there all the same and some of them actually do identify not only the default picture but the IP, the time, date, city, state and actual page that the person got to your page from. Right now, many of them are closed to new members.

The CB Tracker only gives you the IP, time, date, city and state and it's up to you to identify them yourself based on timestamps on your mail, comments and add requests. Once you do identify them - yes, their picture does come up - and always has since CB Tracker V.2 was implemented last July.

Now, all of a sudden, any new ID's that you try to identify come up with a black square where their default picture should be - yet the person's name shows up all the same. All the previously identified IPs before this glitch started happening do still show up with their picture's intact though. Weird.
