Can't view pictures or graphics

Where there should be pictures or graphics, I only see a symbol of a red square, blue triangle and green circle inside a rectangle. I only have this problem on this site - thanks!

Even my computer geek wife could not fix it - it's killing me - need Vette pix!

3 - Check Personal Preferences in Corvette Forum to ensure that images have not been turned OFF. (UserCP, Edit Options, View Visible Elements)

4 - Disable/Remove all Pop Up blocker software/apps.

5 - Logout out completely from Corvette Forum.

6 -
In I.E. go to “tools” -> “internet options” -> under the section temporary internet files click “delete files”.

In FireFox go to “tools” -> “options” -> “privacy” tab -> “cache” -> “clear cache now”.
Once this is done, close all browser windows, reopen them, and try performing the action that they were unable to do beforehand.

7 - If that does not solve the issue, go back to internet options, delete the cookies, close the browser window, reopen in and try again.

If the same issue appears with the new profile as well, try another computer.

Also, if you use AOL and the AOL version of IE, try using regular IE.

I did basic maintenance on my PC - still only in this Forum can I not view any pictures. Do I need to update my Internet Explorer? The software the computer uses to view pix? PLEASE help!

You can try the newest release of IE that came out this past week, IE7, and see what that does.

The techs have not been able to determine what causes that on some computers. You may need to try another browser as suggested above until the issue can be resolved (Firefox for example).

I tried everything and as a last resort, tried Firefox.

Firefox fixed the issue. I do not beleive IE 7 is compatible with my old windows 2000. I'm planning on updating the laptop when Windows Vista is out.

Thanks for all of your help

Sorry we could not be any more help. Seems we cannot find anyone able to figure out why this happens to a few.

I think IE7 will be pushed out to everyone with Windows Update within the next month or so. It probably reaches back to Win2k.

I'm running Vista on a laptop and desktop. But even there I use firefox. Someone has reported issues with the forum and IE7 already too.
