On this site my computer blocks most of the pictures and symbols. They are replaced with a white square with a red x in it. Is it my computer?
Thanks

Ended up being my Firewall. Changed back to the windows one and so far so good. Might be a pop up/ad blocker setting also

Hit the refresh button- do they come up then?

Put your mouse over it, right click mouse button and go to "show picture"- does it come up then?

Need more info..

Do you have the pop up blocker turned on in Internet Explorer? Try turning that off and see what happens.

Just a side note: Even though my issues were fixed by changing my firewall, this was the only forum that I visit that had those issues

This is bad. Might have to start talking to my wife again. No pop up blocker on, and i can right click and get the picture to show(show picture). Refresh button does not help.

I can only guess. Maybe you don't have enough memory available to carry all the images

You will HATE Internet Explorer after a while of using FireFox. FireFox is the sh*t!

Alt + T
Enter
Delete the 1st 3 (Temp internet files, cookies and history)
Close your browser, re-open and see if pics show up then? Refresh?

This is the ONLY site you are having this problem with correct?

Alt- T
Alt - O
Far right go to "Advanced"
Scroll down to "Multimedia"
"Show pictures" clicked?
If not, check it, close browers and re-open

Have a lot of custom options on your brower- as in do you mind a reset?

Alt- T
Alt - O
Far right go to "Advanced"
Bottom right click "Reset"
Close browers and re-open

Work now?

If you don't have it already, here is a free download called CCleaner (http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/download/d1565b7fb77b48a3692a199d871845fd/)that is good to run once every week or so as well.
