For the past week now I can't see any images in a thread. I can see people's signatures that are linked onto different sites but I can't see their avatars or images that are posted in the threads that are uploaded through the tool on the forums. I checked to see if I have anything blocked but I don't. I don't know if this is just an issue I am having or what. Thanks for the help.

I am also using the new version of Firefox. Should of mentioned that.

Apparently http://uploads.neowin.net doesn't work at all for me.

This happened to me on FF 2.0.14 This is the page where I found my fix for it.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load

open about:config in the address bar then click the Yes I will be careful

in the filter type the word image

Check to see if the permission default image is set to 1 (right-click and select "Reset" if any other value is shown)

The site doesn't load at all.

It was already set to 1.

That is your real problem then. You can't see one of our servers. You should see a Neowin - Restricted Area message and then get redirected to our front page.

That is not surprising since I think the fact that you can't see our upload server is the real problem.

So what is the solution? Or is there one?

Try using OpenDNS as your DNS servers (visit www.opendns.org for details) and see if that makes any difference. For some reason you're either not reaching our uploads server, or your ISP is blocking it, or you're unable to resolve the address. If OpenDNS does not work, you'll need to contact your ISP.

Server:  resolver1.opendns.com

Non-authoritative answer:

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
