| 277110 | 2004-09-30 22:29:00 | OK, I'm a member. :p :D Right, this will make you happy - I can't see the images apart from the squid either. The reason for that is because it looks like the images are on a private photo hosting site that you probably need a password to access. I am wondering how you know that other people can view the images? At a guess I would say that they have a password given them by the owner of the photo. |

| 277111 | 2004-09-30 22:59:00 | It must be a setting on your computer i can see three images on that page the squid the next one below is a lure and the other one further down the page is a lure with a marking pen. is this correct.?? |

I signed up and can see all three images on that site. first (oceanexplorer.noaa.gov) second (img.photobucket.com) third (img.photobucket.com) It would seem that you guys are having prob's getting images from img.photobucket.com. |

| 277113 | 2004-09-30 23:16:00 | Right . . . then it is obviously a setting on Fishb8 and my computer that is preventing the images showing . Have tried three browsers with the same results . It can't be the Hosts file as I have disabled that . I don't have Java on my PC at the moment - do you two? |

| 277114 | 2004-09-30 23:17:00 | Yes java here | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 277115 | 2004-09-30 23:26:00 | Ha, I have got them now! :D It was Outpost blocking them for me. I disabled all of the options under the Plug-ins tab and got the images displaying after that. Not sure which one is doing the actual blocking but never mind, at least I know where to look. Fishb8, check out your firewall, ad-blocker and other utilities until you find the culprit. It will be one of those, most likely the one you have forgotten all about. :D |

| 277116 | 2004-10-01 08:33:00 | Hi - You guys are so helpful. I use Outpost as my firewall and it makes sense, that if all 3 browsers won't let me see the image, then there's a common problem. However, I've disabled all the plug-ins and no change. Disabled Outpost and still can't see the images. As you said, there must be a setting on my PC that is doing the blocking. Will work on it. Thanks. |

| 277117 | 2004-10-01 08:49:00 | When you disabled the plugins/shut down Outpost, did you do a hard refresh of the page? Hold down CTRL then press F5. Watching the traffic in Outpost I think it is the DNS cache setting as I stopped that service, did a hard refresh and got the images. |

| 277118 | 2004-10-01 09:04:00 | Yes, it is definitely the DNS cache plugin setting that was blocking the images for me . I have no idea what it does or what it is for but a search on Google brings up quite a few pages of info to study . If a hard refresh doesn't do the trick for you you may need to look at other apps and settings . Hopefully someone else will have some suggestions to try . I am pleased you brought this topic up as I have had similar isolated problems but did not realise it was Outpost blocking the pages so you have done me a favour today . :-) Tight lines . ;-) |

| 277119 | 2004-10-01 09:06:00 | Hi Susan - All the plug-ins are disabled and I've just done a re-boot. Voila, I can see the images. I'll re-install the plug-ins, sequentially, leaving the DNS cache (whatever that is) until last. Wonderful. |
