Image Load Problems

Some folks have e-mailed saying they are not picking up images on Thrasher's Wheat and getting the dreaded box with a red "X".

Try this: over a blocked image, RIGHT click, check to see if "Block Images from Thrasher's Wheat" is checked. Uncheck, if so.

Also, FireFox browser users -- check under Tools/Options/Content -- be sure that the "Load Images" selection for the originating web site only is UNCHECKED.

No idea on this? Firewall settings? Anybody with thoughts on this COMMENT below.

The reports are mainly coming from IE browser users. FWIW, this news page is optimized for the FireFox browser. (New release version out today.)

Thrasher's Wheat's Customer Service desk suggests trying a HARD re-fresh - Hold SHIFT key and hit REFRESH button.

Drop a comment below on problems.

I took off the privacy settings had in my Zone Alarm Security Suite (ZASS). Had to reduce settings to OFF off for both COOKIES & ADS. Then emptied the cache in FF & deleted cookies. (Not sure if deleting cookies was necessary). Anyway worked fine,but if put any ZASS restrictions back on then lost images. Weird as never got this with any other site.

Try unblocking.

At 8/12/2006 06:50:00 PM, Anonymous said...: I've finally come back, 1 year later ! to trying to solve this problem with images on Thrasher I've been reluctant to let all blocking off as did not want 3rd party cookies etc. .Why so long-well if really wanted to see an image then would take all bocking off, temporarily. Did not want to leave things permanently like that. Had read other comments with interest. My previous comment was the one of 12th August 05.
I too have a Zone Alarm product. Discovered it's nott necessaryb to unblock everything....
I found that one does not have to disable ad-blocking -can leave that set to high-
IT'S THE COOKIES- IF ONE HAS THER BOX FOR 3RD PARTY COOIES " REMOVE PRIVATE HEADER INFORMATION " CHECKED THEN PICS DO NOT DISPLAY.
So I'm blocking "web-bugs" & 3rd party cookies but not removing private header info. Images now show up fine :)
