no avatars or icons?
« on: October 04, 2007, 00:53:41 am »
I do not see any avatars or any of the icons in the two left boxes of each topic header.   There are also no smilies or any other options when posting in a thread.  There are also none of the blue "new" buttons. Actually, the entire board looks a little different to me- was there a change that occured?

just wondering...

No all is well here.  Maybe you need to clear out your cache?

Did you try pressing the magical F5 button?

Have you somehow managed to click the 'plain text version' button? Is there a button around that says 'HTML version'? Should be at the top of the page, above the blue banner that's at the top of the thread.

pressed the F5 button- nothing happened.  It's not the plain text version.  It looks like the regular board, but it's missing a bunch of stuff.  I'm going to restart my computer- maybe that's it.  hmmmmm....

Are any of the items that are missing replaced with a red X or similar?  Which browser are you using, and what version eg, Internet Explorer 7 :)

I sometimes get that too.  And yes I do get the box and a little red X.  I use Internet Explorer not sure which one though :-[  I have tried clearing my cache etc.  I end up having to close completley and re-launch IE and then it works.

there are no red x's.  if I hover over an area, a test box will pop up stating what should be there...but for the most part, it's all just blank. 

I use firefox- the latest version. 

I'll try to open with IE now...

Have you tried opening Firefox in Safe Mode?  Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)

This is sometimes handy for trouble-shooting.  If there's still no images in Safe Mode then it sounds cache related.

I tried the safe mode- still no pics... must be cache related then?  I did clear the history, cookies, etc- anything else I should do?
