Timthumb image thumbnails not appearing on wordpress site - image

I'm trying to put together a page at http://www.sketch360.com/store/home/ which should show featured products and thumbnails for those products. For some reason the images aren't showing on page load, even though they immediately appear when you either right-click on the image, click on a next/previous arrow, or open 'developer tools' in chrome.
The status of the image styling in css I've noticed, changes from display:none to display:inline-block when you perform any of the above actions to get the images to show.
I've been through the timthumb troubleshooting steps at http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/11/timthumb-hints-tips/ and have changed permissions on all directories according to these instructions. Any help would be much appreciated in getting these images to show up on page load.
The images show up (also using the timthumb method, I believe) on this alternative page: http://www.sketch360.com/store/shop/ but not on the first page (that is going to form the home page for the site: http://www.sketch360.com/store/home/ ).
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

It isn't a timthumb or wordpress issue. It looks like it is a stylesheet / jQuery issue - where the div that covers the image (used for the highlight on hover) is opaque and covering the images. The funny thing is that when I "Inspect Element", the images all appear.
Double-check your starting styles for class "overdefult" - make sure it has the right opacity or set the background color to transparent. (You could also try removing it temporarily to prove that this div is indeed your issue.)

After many hours banging my head against a brick wall, I have discovered an updated script available that controls the bxSlider used to display these images in li's - and having upgraded the minified script, the problem seems to have resolved itself - just in case there are others needing help on this too.

CTRL-F (FIND) together with LAZYLOAD feature of FULLPAGE.JS

A question about the Fullpage plugin: http://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/
Fullpage.js creates a fullpage scrolling website design if you use this Jquery plugin on your website.
If you prefer you can add image tags to this website using attribute "data-src" instead of "src" which will lazy load images (they only show up when you scroll to them). This works perfectly, but not when you do a search on the page (CTRL-F). In that case it jumps to the right section and the right word on the page, and if that is a page with images, those images will not show up.
There undoubtedly would be a solution for that, but does anybody knows a solution?
There undoubtedly would be a solution for that,
Not really.
There's an open issue in fullpage.js issues forum and no solution has been found for it yet.
The only solution is using the fullpage.js options scrollBar:true or autoScrolling:false. which will create a normal scroll bar on the site.

Joomla articles and modules not showing on small screens

I'm really quite new to Joomla and I've encountered a problem. On my homepage the article is showing just fine, but all the other modules (except for the menu bar) disappear when I switch to a smaller screen size. On my other pages the article doesn't even show anymore, just the menu bar. I'm using the purity III template. I have no idea what's going on since the settings in the layout of the template indicate that all modules that are showing on a desktop should also be displayed on a mobile device, and I've found no difference in settings in the articles itself. My site.
Thanks for your help!
It sounds like the responsive design hides them on purpose.
Just from a quick peek at your code using inspect element I can see that the class "slideshow hidden-xs" gets a display:none on smaller screen sizes and all of your main content is wrapped in that element. If all of your content is not supposed to be wrapped in that element (which I'm guessing it's not) you're most likely missing a closing tag on a div or something.
Find the missing closing tag (ie: /div, /a, etc) and it will probably solve your problem.
You can update the latest version of Joomla and check again that some problem is coming or not. I yes then download new theme for your website which is compatible with your theme.

I can't get the first modal, in the series of modals, to open

Greeting and thanks for your generosity in providing this wonderful forum,
I'm using jQuery Orbit Slider and Reveal Modal. I setup the slider to include content and within the content are hotlinks to a series of modals.
I can't get the first modal, in the series of modals, to open. It appears the plugin is programmatically generating inline CSS that is overriding my CSS stylesheet. Mainly z-index selector is keeping the first modal hidden (or invisible). The subsequent modals in that series work as intended.
When viewed using Chrome Inspect Console shows the inconsistency please note at "featuredContent10" which is where the slide4 resides (it's actually a background image). The data-reveal-id="slide4-1" is the first one in the series of modals. I did not add the inline styles it's in the reveal.js file.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about reveal and can't find any information regarding a solution. The information I came away with is to ask for assistance on stackoverflow.com. 99.9% of the time I find solution on my own, however, I'm at a lost and my client likes the features of both plugins. Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
If it helps here’s a link to the beta site: http://www.partnershipwithearth.com/thecooperationway-1/
Go to Slide 11 lower left link is the culprit. You'll notice the dialog box and close button do appear without the image (slide4-1).
Your expertise is greatly appreciated

Image overlay showing IDs and not text

In the post editor when you click on an image that has already been inserted an overlay pops up allowing you to edit the image.
This overlay is displaying things like {#cancel} instead of the word Cancel. All text on this overlay has been changed in a similar way.

I have disabled all plugins and performed an automatic reinstall of WordPress with no avail.
Any ideas?
Downloading TinyMCE from their site and using the language files from the zip fixed the problem.

Programatically preventing Firefox to auto-resize images

By default in Firefox every time you open an image it will re-size to fit within the browser window, now if you view a lot of images this can become annoying having to click on the image every time it loads to see it full size.
There is a way to switch off that in about:config, but this is not a solution for a broader public.
Is there a way to switch that off by some JavaScript function, or CSS, or something else?
If you would like to switch off auto-resizing images in your browser, then you can
type about:config
search for property browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing
and set it to false
If you want it for your visitors, I just can repeat what Jeremy Sydik writes in Design Accessible Web Sites,
it’s just their web, we’re building on it.
And in this case, you really shouldn't decide whether your users want Firefox's auto-resizing feature or not. You can always choose a solution that gives better user experience to your visitors. For instance, you may install a Lightbox variant as Daniel A. White already mentioned.
There is also great_llama's solution to open images inside a HTML page.
Point to a dynamic page that uses an IMG tag with the appropriate source, rather than pointing to the raw image. Use the querystring or something similar to pass the image name to the page.
<html><body><img src="yourimage.jpg"></body></html>
I dont think there is anyway to change that behavior, at least using javascript or css.
Why not use a jQuery Lightbox?
http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/
Though I have not tried it, I don't see why it would autosize if you wrapped it in html and not link directly to the image.
if that is an option, just wrap it in html:
<style type="text/css">
* { margin:0; }
</style>
<img src="whatever.jpg" />
If you are the owner of the image, embed the image in an HTML document. Firefox resizes an image only if you open it directly in the browser.
If you are talking from a Firefox user's point of view, I think about:config is the appropriate place to disable this functionality.
