Firefox and KB attachments

[Rashika]

Got a little problem with seeing pics on Kb on the home computer.
It wont display the thumbnails so I cant see the pics....sigh...
It used to be fine, but a few weeks ago we noticed that they wont show up at all now, not sure what may have changed, nothing on this computer at least, no new installments, nothing. Wondered if the site upgrade may have changed something?? Dunno, clutching at straws.
I'm on a pc about 3 years old, running XP, mozilla firefox, and on dialup.

Mac at work running Firefox, is of course *fine*, but that could be cos it is highspeed connection.

Have tried using explorer instead and then I get a small, TINY in fact, dash/dot which when clicked on DOES bring up the pic.

So any ideas anyone? Apart from having to change my browser which will pee me off cos I much prefer Firefox, till now anyway.

Tools > Options > Web Features

Is the display "Load Images" box ticked?

yep.

done that ...and it seems to have helped a little.
Now when I hover the mouse over the space where pics should be it changes to a hand, so I can at least open up the pics, so YAYYYY thats a start!
But still no thumbnails, so it is pot luck which pic opens.

Good to hear SOMETHINGS works!

BTW When are you going to send me the step-by-step for two-year olds info on how to get my pics onto this site??
You mentioned something at the Magpie but I was too busy drinking to remember!!

Ive been having the same probs since the update.
If I turn off Zonealarm, all the thumbnails avatars and emoticons work. If its on - they dont!
And Ive clicked all the right boxes as well - XP Pro and 2mb DSL

hmmm I do have zone alarm running, so when you say turn it off, which bits? the whole thing?

[SPman]

Yep - the whole thing.....

weeeeelllll that fixed it alright big pat on the back for you mate!
but does it matter that I dont have ZA on? Is it really that important to have it on? I get a little confused about these programs at times...what is important to have running and what is not

I click it off for KB when I want to see the pics, then turn it back on ....On the net with no firewall is a bit like riding with no helmet........

You can edit ZoneAlarm options
Right click > Privacy > Site List > www.kiwibiker.co.nz > Options > Ad Blocking > Uncheck all in "Ads to Block"
Ok and shut down ZA and restart
Thumbnails should all show

ah, hunted around looking for these setting but then found out that you need to have the pro version (I think) to use the privacy settings....I aint got that, but at least i have a workaround now.
