Hi all,
Can you do me favor and let me know if anyone is having issues with thumbnails..

I'm attaching examples of what you might see when viewing a page that has attachments... basically instead of seeing a thumbnail...you see a text description of the image, which you can click on and still view the image as a picture.

Please post here if you are experiencing this problem currently.

Thanks everyone,
al

hi Al

never had this prob before, but the thread below shows the thumbnails to me that way... some of the time. On first view, most of them appeared that way...on refresh, most but not all, thumbnails appeared correctly. And on the third view...all were fine. dunno. is it because the thumbs (and their re-directs) take a few seconds to fully load on the viewers page?

:D Hi Al, as you probably already know, I don't see that at all...there is a kind of rectangle, some have a tiny mark or 2, if I work at it can get a hand, & if I click fast enough, maybe get a pic...some have no marks at all, & I tried a couple, did find a hand by scrolling back & forth, & even once did get a pic that way...WIERD!! lol, Dottie ;)

Al, I see the "attached thumbnail" box with a dash mark in it. If I scroll I get the "hand" just before the dash and right on the dash. If I click these 2 spots, I can get the pictures.

What web browser do you use, and what version is it? Also, do you have any kind of firewall/internet security software installed, like Norton Internet Security, etc.?

Sounds like one of the graphics didn't load, Marie. Just try reloading the page.

Hey Ryan, I'm using the new IE, but started having these probs since ya'll recovered from the hack. I run ZoneAlarm firewall. I just disabled the firewall and refreshed the page, and they show up as thumbnails now. If I enable the firewall, and refresh the page (or change pages) I'm back to dashes again. Great, anyone know how I can configure this firewall to let the thumbnails in?

I figured it was the firewalls. Mine at home used to do it. Because every firewall is different, I can't say for sure how to configure it. Maybe ZoneAlarm has a help file or something that mentions graphic loading issues?

I changed the config to accept banner and skyscraper ads, the thumbnails now appear. Funny, Simply's sponser ads always showed anyway.

Debbie,

Glad it's sorted. Unfortunately now you'll have to see banners on every site, which is a pain for some people. Did you notice if there was an option just to enable them on one site? Sometimes programs allow you to set up exceptions for specific sites, where you just type the domain name...

Hey Ryan, thanks for the idea! I read some more and found the right boxes to click, now Simply's thumbnails appear, but ads are blocked for other sites!! Now my brain hurts!

When I click on a thumbnail the picture is tiny. Is it just me??

Tiffany,
Try going thru a few different threads...The picture output depends on what was uploaded.

Let me know how you make out.
