normally points to a bad quality internet connection rather than a PC fault

that points to a problem with the internet connection between you ISP and photobucket (and some other sites)

if thats the case theres nothing you can do about it

you however have a good connection to passionford (as the avatars etc. are hosted by PF, sigs hosted by PB)

if it's only a problem with images coming from photobucket, then it's definitely as Jim said

danielle, that will only work if its an intermittent faultnormally on the PC end. if there's a broken connection somewhere out on the net, no end of right clicking will make any difference

You have to allow norton firewall / internet security to grant access to photobucket

i haven't with mine, and it works fine. I got Norton systemworks 2006, as well as Internet security 2006, granted a few things but not photobucket, works fine though. But to let images load up on some web pages, u to have to go into the privacy control settings, and un-tick enable browser privacy, images should load then.
