Try the one marked "garage" and the one marked "golf cart". But, if you are just replacing the doorbell, it is not necessary to shut off the breaker because the doorbell is low voltage and powered by a transformer, that is probably located in the attic above the garage. I replaced my doorbell with a Ring device, and had no problem leaving the breaker on.

I see it... And also quoted in your post... Give it a minute... I has to go to space and back...

Still nothing. Am I the only one who can't see anything on Post No. 4?

On our house (2013 Gardenia) the door bell transformer is on the same circuit as the attic light, so turn on the attic light, and start turning off circuit breakers one at a time until the attic light goes out, then try the door bell to confirm.

On a side note not sure why you need to turn this off, the voltage to the door bell and the switch is less than 24 vac, and typically around 18 vac which is very easy to work with and if you accidently short the door bell switch wires all that happens is the door bell rings.

In my circuit breaker box, the toggle for the doorbell is labelled CHIME. More specifically, it is toggle #14 and it says: "Garage, Attic, Chime". (fyi, my house is south of 44 and was built 2 years ago)

Probably because all of the smart doorbell instructions say to turn off the breaker to the existing doorbell before installation. Although it really isn’t necessary.

Yes it is visible .

Very strange. On my screen, Post No. 4 shows my quoted post, and then no reply. Does anyone know why some people can see a reply and some see nothing?

In your profile, go to "User Settings". Click on "Edit Options" (in "Settings & Options"). Scroll down to "Thread Display Options". Make sure the box marked "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)" is checked...

See if that works...

I checked that several weeks ago when this happened. The option is checked and always has been.

Do you see the other pics and gifs I post? If not, it's Aliens... Definitely Aliens...

And it's a shame, because some of those are absolutely brilliant, if I do say so myself... :1rotfl:

You may have an ad blocker active, or a setting on your browser or antivirus software that is blocking the animated picture, thinking it is a virus. You could try another browser and look at your security settings. I do not have any other ideas.

I'm not sure, but, I have had the same thing happen several times with your posts, and some other posters have confirmed the same experience. It may have something to do with the file format of the photos.

I do see photos posted by others.

retiredguy123,

I just posted two images. The first is a gif (which is animated), the 2nd one (Morgan Freeman) is a jpeg.

Can you see either of them?

As to the other pics showing up, some folks (like alemorkam) upload their pics onto the ToTV website. They show up differently than when using the picture link (that looks like the sun over a mountain)...

I have checked that. I have an ad blocker on my tablet, but not on my Android phone, laptop, or desktop. But, I cannot view the posts on any of those devices.

So you can't see either image in the post right above yours (post #21)?

If you can't, it's ponderous... Freakin' ponderous...

Sorry, but I cannot see either one. But, I can see the .jpg image posted by other poster on the recent thread about garage seals. As far as I know, your images are the only ones that I cannot view. Go figure.

I always used the old version of TOTV, and never saw pictures.
Since changing to the new version, I can now see them all.
Are you using old version?

Try new. Think you will see pics.
I am not a fan of the new version, but I got fed up with switching between the two to see pics.
Getting used to new version now.

Ok, switching to the new version does allow me to view the images. I don't like the new version, and I thought that many members don't either. It could be that the new version allows larger file sizes to be viewed than the old version. But, I have never had a problem viewing images on the old version.

I am with you on that, and would still prefer old format.
But I could never see 'Picture perfect' posts, and most of the gifs etc. so changed.
Getting used to new version now, and finding it not so 'clunky' after all.:shrug:

[JMintzer]

Yes, I am using the old version.

WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

Pretty sure that's the problem...

That garage seal pic is a thumbnail file, uploaded to the forum website. It's a different way to post a pic. Typically used when posting a pic from your computer files, not from another website...

You, my friend, are a stable genius! I had completely forgotten about the problems with seeing pics when using the old version...

[retiredguy123]

I was happy to find out that you can still switch back and forth between the old and new versions. TOTV had threatened to make the new version mandatory.

[sasman29]

It is on the attic circuit since transformer that powers it is just above attic access panel in garage

It would be better if things like that were considered a "personal problem" and treated accordingly instead of clogging up a forum with a thread that applies to about a maximum of 5 people. Whatever happened to the old American" can do" spirit?

That's how you respond to a valid question? :ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

I am still waiting for an answer from the original poster if they were able to find the correct circuit breaker.
