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.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
