Dirk Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited July 22, 2008 by Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted July 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2008 The site doesn't load at all. 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. It was already set to 1. That is not surprising since I think the fact that you can't see our upload server is the real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 So what is the solution? Or is there one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetix63 Veteran Posted July 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 24, 2008 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.

Dirk Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well it wasn't working after I did that. Now it is. Does it take a little time or something? It doesn't really matter anyway since it is fixed now. So thank you all for the help. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
