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:

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.

      I really don't like these rounded corners and huge borders in the viewport. They just waste space without anything in return.
