Clear your cookies (internet temp files)

The old cookies have been known to make Scream and Fly do all kinds of wierd stuff.

Internet Explorer?
Netscape?
Mozilla FireFox?
Opera?

The title on the blue bar. What you click on to surf the net.
Clcik HELP menu, and click ABOUT.
That will tell you what browser and what version...

Do you have a firewall running on your PC, if so what kind and what are its settings? This may be your problem. When I recently installed a firewall I had to change some of the default settings to allow the thumbnail pics to display.

thanks Stevek, i am useing e trust fire wall by computer associates.internet zone was set on high but i turned it off and still cant see pics. so i turned it back on. what did u change on your fire wall to make pics show up? some one else said fire wall might be the problem also but i dont know what to turn up or down. this computer stuff gets the better of me as i dont know much about them. but thanks for the help.

erase all cookies and temorary internet files.
reboot computer.
turn off firewall , not just part of it all of it.
turn off any antivirus software
log back on to S&F and see if the problem is still there.
start turning sections of antivirus and firewall on one at a time until it stops working.
chances are it is part of one of those two programs.
I know with the new norton antivirus it has to learn some of your repeated websites before it will allow stuff.
if you are on a network it make sit even worse.

also as a side thought click on tools at the top of your browser and then click on internet options, go to the securities tab and make sure things are not set on too high of a security setting

let me know how it works out for ya

I had to set both Internet zone securities to Med. If you shut it down you should be able to see the pics too. If you cant see the thumbnail pics with the firewall off there is something else effecting them as well as the firewall settings.

thanks skidoo 29 for the advise. icalled my internet tech line for help yesterday and the guy had me try all kinds of stuff you know go here open this close that.went places i didnt even know exsisted!even tried it with fire wall off. still did not have any luck. he did not think my anti virus could be the problem.but i will try turning it off like you say and do the steps you said as soon as i am less frustrated with this darn computer it is giving me a head acke. mediacom teck support did not have the anser. they told me to call the geek squad for help or try another browser! thanks

I can't believe I'm saying this, but try installing Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) and use that to view the site. Firefox is free and pretty good.

that fire wall is over secure... my parrents have it and i disable it and then things work fine... with it on everything grinds to a halt due to its restrictivness.... good for big corperate network files.. bad for standard brousing... change to firefox or opera and ditch the firewall..

Use Zone Alarm for a software firewall. Case closed. I would never have a connection to the Internet without a hardware and software firewall. My home hardware choice is the Cisco PIX-501, but usually any good consumer-grade router with a SPI firewall will do.
