Java and JavaScript are two different animals and installing the latest version of Java would not help in this situation.

If you're interested in seeing what version of JavaScript and Java you have installed and is detected by the browser I'd recommend: http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/systeminfo.cgi (shameless plug :) )



Good link Nathan.I haven't seen that before.(shame on me.  :)

That's why it's called a shameless plug... ;D ;D

Is this problem happening on other images at all?
Best way to test:
Google image search, and go through a few pages.

If its happening there, it could be a problem with your ISP, Ethernet card, router, or modem. It might just be cutting off things... which, is very possible (Though definitely not good)

I appear to have JavaScript 1.7.
Almost all images are showing - I went through 3 pages of a random Google image search and 2 were missing.  unsure if they're dead links or it's my PC at fault.
Firefox's Safe Mode didn't help me, but a good try.
As the other PC on the network works fine, as does another version of Windows I have installed on this PC, I think the issue is actually with this install of Windows, rather than my hardware, ISP or router.

I don't believe this . . . I had a thought last night while thinking about something completely different and it paid off.
I'd been messing with Firefox settings and had changed something I shouldn't have changed.
Namely in about:config, I changed dom.disable_img_src_set to True from False, in an attempt to do something entirely different.
That's what's been causing my issues.  And I guess I haven't seen this on the other SMF forums I visit because they use another method of resizing avatars rather than JavaScript.
I can't believe I've overlooked this.
Thanks for all the help and sorry for wasting all this time.

That is good news. But if that's what solved it, why would IE also be having the same issue?

That's puzzling me too actually.
IE7 shows the avatars too now, which is really odd.

Calum read my reply # 16. I had the problem temporarily.
