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>???

 

You using Norton Personal Firewall or Internet Security ?

 

what makes you think hes using norton dan? apart from his pc not functioning right

 

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

 

well zonealarm firewall also stopped smilies and what not, so dave if you have zonealarm let me know and ill tell you what to do

 

Uninstall the fucker and use a proper firewall

 

no firewall, no nuffin, just a 5yr old pc thats started playin silly buggers....

 

hi there all
i to am occasionally experiencing this problem though not all the time and only with pictures sometimes all i get is little boxes with red crosses in them when i right click on them and select show picture occasionally this cures it and the picture is displayed but not always.
It is my work computer which is supplied via a server and i don't know what security they use
Any ideas how to solve.?

 

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.

 

smiles dont work on my gfs pc via pf which im on now

she uses zonealarm pro ..and firefox net browser ..

she has the real deal xp home paid for software

any ideas to make them work

 

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!
