Don't know where this 404 error "sites/all/modules/lightbox2/images/blank.gif" is coming from. It's on everypage on www.lostinthesmoke.com. Can't find the reference to it in the page source. I don't know if its Drupal or CloudFlare. CloudFlare says its Drupal or my server. I cleared caches everywhere. I had lightbox2 installed a couple months ago but not on this fresh install. I use this domain to learn and test on. It started showing last night.

If you go into inspector, you can see:

<object data="http://www.lostinthesmoke.com/sites/all/modules/lightbox2/images/blank.gif" width="0" style="position: absolute; left: -9999px; "></object>

is being added at the very bottom of your page. Why? I dunno, but it's there :) The fact that it doesn't show up in "view source" suggests it's being added via javascript on page load.

Why isn't it finding blank.gif? Again, I dunno. It's here in my lightbox2 directory, so, perhaps your installation has been corrupted and thinks it is still installed.

  • Jimajamma, Thanks for the advice it helped. Justin from CloudFlare found the issue, it had something to do with their preloader feature.
