computer gurus..i need help with IE..

[NY Muscle]

i cant see ANY images at all not even the avatars, and when someone posts the image as a link that opens up another browser with the pic, nothing pops up, has that old error bullshit, and to check my isp settings or dns setting or some shit....this happens on elite and other pages web boards similar to this format....but if i click someones profile i can see the the avatar there, the image shows up fine....i checked to make sure ENABLE IMAGES was checked in the internet options...but still no luck.

anyone know how to fix it??

thanks

clear out your cache/temp internet files, i know that happens sometimes with Internet explorer, also check to make sure you have avatars as readable in the options of elite.... hmm besides that try rebooting...

is it just this site?

if not, you might try enabling pictures, i think its one of the options in tools menu (drop dopwn to otions, click and then its one of the tabs)

its this site and another chat board that looks like this

i was just able to view a pic that someone just posted of a huge fat cat, but all other pics and EVERYONES avatars show up as a RED X...i tried to clear my temp files and cache, etc, no luck.

this is pissing me off, unless theses IT guys here at work are fucking around, i dunno whats up...but that cat pic showed up im not sure why.

They may be messing with the proxy at your work b/c whenever I play with my proxy settings at home, some sites won't come up or pics won't show. I think playing with the activeX settings will do this also

 

[naturally anabolic]

hmm i don't see how they could mess with your settings so it has to be another issue.

given that a change in proxy could dissable you to see some sites, it would not disable you to only not see pictures.

If he's on a network that has a proxy server and/or firewall, the settings wouldn't be on the users computer but on the proxy server and/or firewall they have set up.

I have been on some sites speficically message boards that I can't see pics or banners but can access the site when I've enabled my proxy settings. Probably isn't the problem though like you said

It sounds to me like your at work. If your at work and images are showing up as a big red "x", there's a good chance that your IT guys are screwing around with content filters. Might be a good idea to talk to them and find out. If they are implementing content filters you may not want to browse EF from work as some pretty "questionable" stuff get's posted that I'm sure your boss wouldn't be too happy about.

You could configure a proxy to filter out images, but it would be for all websites.

ok this is odd some pics on other pages or boards work some aol homepages pics come up, some dont..i think its the pic format im thinking anything that is .jpeg wont show up...i have no idea why that would happen.
