Did the avatars get whacked?
« on: June 07, 2006, 03:56:41 PM »
Is it just me or did almost everyone's avatar get deleted? The only person's avatar that I can see so far is "msmochatx". Is this what I get for installing Internet Explorer 7? I only used it once!!  :P

You can get your own: www.panicbuttons.com

Anyway, I can see everyone's avatar in IE 7, but not FireFox. I just upgraded to 1.5.0.4 the other night. Maybe that has something to do with it. How can I survive without seeing Dilbert's svelte head?

Curious.

    Okay, this is weird. I uninstalled Adblock, because I've had a few issues with it before. Still no avatars. I even started FireFox in safe mode but still couldn't see most avatars. So far the only user's avatars that I can see are msmochatx's and panboy's. Any suggestions? I'm fermisht.

    Its probaly just your browser blocking outside images. Thats what happened to me. But, its somewhat worth it if you cant see Ad's anymore.

    ::Slaps Forehead:: Yep, that was it. I recall having investigated the various FireFox options just a few days ago and must have checked "Load images for the originating web site only." That's why those two user's avatars were visible to me, they used the default images in Yabb which is downloaded from the computerhope domain. I guess I should reinstall adblock. ;) Thanks for the tip.

    Yay! I have my panic button back!
