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)

you will not be able to ping uploads.neowin.net if thats what you have tried. (SD block pings)

what do you get at that site http://uploads.neowin.net

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.

C:\Users\ste>nslookup uploads.neowin.net
Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:

    • VidCoder 12.20

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2. Download: VidCoder 12.20 | 47.0 MB (Open Source) Download: Portable VidCoder 12.19 | 89.3 MB Link: VidCoder Home Page | Github | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
