Anyone having problems?

I can't figure it out... but many images on the forum will not show, some ads won't show... I don't even see my avatar!

and for a while, when I tried to use smilies from the list next to the reply box it didn't work although they would work when used form the pop-up window... this part fixed itself, at least.

Anyone else?

I am wondering if work has a new firewall of some sort, as other sites have issues, but not the same issues... Confused

I am glad of that, thanks! Asked a few people and they all see the site fine... Damn, this new firewall makes no sense. Blocks things kind a randomly and I can't figure out the pattern. Some animated gifs, some flash animation, and some javascript... But some still gets through!??! But all archive files (zip tar gz) are blocked, as well as ftp and use of my smtp server... Bang Head

What firewall are you using?

I don't know... every day recently I have noticed a few things didn't work the same... now today it is extreme. But, despite it impacting many other sites, mine seems the worst... Laughing

We do have McAfee Enterprise 8.0 on now, that is fairly new....

Yea, I bet you they have turned a bunch of blocking.

Are you a admin on your local PC?

Yeah... I was digging in McAfee... although I see none of the things blocked that I am experiencing, I also see that my settings are set by the network. I unchecked a few things and hit save... closed and opened the app again and the checks were back.

McAfee does that! Crazy

somewhere, somehow it has a hidden config file or rule that changes the settings , as you say at random times.While I want it to be resistant to a worm or script based change, the local admin show have control.
worse if it's changing the settings to a stricter control how do you know it's not opening itself up at times?
