Default Cant see pictures/smilies.....

My pc, mainly on this site, doesnt let me see all the smilies when postin, nor the little logo for posting new image etc. I can only see little red x's

I cleared out most of my unused progs a whie back, could it be somethin to do with that??

Not a major issue, just annoyin.

How do i sort it?? Anyone>???

Norton Firewall / Internet Security has a habit of blocking out pic's from photobucket, and the smilies being animated. You have to add www.passioford.com and www.photobucket.com to either application in order for it to work properly

dazzle, you won't be able to get round that yourself m8, and persoanlly, unless you get on well with the IT department, I'd live with it m8.

Dave,

Your only possible solution would be to reinstall windows I think. Normal explanation for a pic not wokring is if the hosting site is down, or the link is broken.

foound the answer

Open your ZoneAlarm settings.
Double click the icon on your toolbar to open it.
Go to the settings for 'privacy'. Under 'ad blocking' click the 'custom' button.
Under 'ads to block' you will see three settings, one of them is 'animation'. Make sure it is not checked. If it is, uncheck it. Click the 'apply button at the bottom.
You should be all set. I hope this works for you!
