Ah! Crossing posts! I'll have a look at that and get back. Thanks.

Well, done evereything you suggested Marcel. It now appears to be working a lot faster, but I still can't view any attached images etc.!! Everytrhing I've tried has been in IE8 - do you think it'll make any difference if I switch back to Firefox?
I'm completely stumped!

Marcel · 10-18-2009, 02:07 PM

It should work in IE8, but Firefox would be a good idea. I know far moere of FF then of IE8

BTW, did you try the Security thingy?

Wurger · 10-18-2009, 02:12 PM

I think it is a problem with a type file displaying. Possible your net browser is not able to identify them correctly.

Marcel · 10-18-2009, 02:26 PM

Yup that's also a possibility, but let's first make sure the cookies were not the problem or any other simple setting.

Airframes · 10-18-2009, 02:29 PM

Yes Marcel, I did all that as suggested. The thing is, I was running on IE before, without problems with seeing pics, just getting slow. That's why I changed to Firefox. I then posted the pics, and got the blank 'Attached Images' box. So I went back to IE, which is now the new, updated version 8, and the blank box has changed to the individula small square boxes with a red 'X' in each one.
I'm going to leave it for tonight, as I must go and stretch out, as I'm starting to ache a bit. I'd really, really appreciate it if anyone can suggest something to solve the problem though.

In fact these cookies aren't responsible for a pic showing. These make finding and accessing sites easier for the net browser.If a pic can be dispalyed correctly it is fault of the net browser settings I think.

Terry what a message is displayed when you are trying to click a square with the red x and use the show pic option?

Airframes · 10-18-2009, 02:48 PM

No message is showing Wojtek. Normally, the box will have a red 'X' and the words 'Undefined', and I swipe the cursor over this. It then requests Shift+R, which I key, and the pics open. this time, the boxes are small squares with the 'X'. Wiping the cursor over doesn't have any effect, and neither does clicking, with right or left buttons on the mouse. I tried clicking with 'Show Picture', and nothing happened either!

Wurger · 10-18-2009, 02:57 PM

OK. Do you have the flashplayer installed?

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 10-18-2009, 02:59 PM

Interesting thing here. Hope these guys can help you out.

I used to IE as well (long time ago) and I switched to Firefox without a problem. In fact I prefer Firefox.

Agreed, but some sites use them for display settings, not sure if it's the case on this forum.
You think it's a broken registry key?

Wurger · 10-18-2009, 03:30 PM

Generally you are right Marcel. But I don't tkink it is the system registry fault.The red x appears when there are problems with the pic accessing. It can be for a few reaon. Mostly it is the wrong name of the pic or the bad file name of extension. Also it can be caused by wrong working additional to a net browser programs. For instance the flashplayer. But the main problem are a net browser settings usually.

Airframes · 10-18-2009, 03:35 PM

Hmm. If I knew what a flashplayer was I could answer! Sorry, my knowledge of what's what is terrible! I've just gone through all of the relevant settings for IE 8, and as far as i can see, those needed to view any images, videos or similar are all installed and working. I don't know if it makes any difference, but now, every time I post something, the two GB icons appear, BUT, when the next post is posted, or if I go out of one page then come back, those icons have changed to the two red X's, like everyone elses. I've had a look at some other web-sites, and I can open pics and everything else without problem. the only place I'm having problems with is the forum!

Now it sounds really different. Terry did you reset all cookies for the IE broweser?

If not try Tools -> Net Options -> General section -> Temporary Internet Files -> Delete Files.

When ready click OK button.

Airframes · 10-18-2009, 03:46 PM

Already done that Wojtek, but I'll do it again. Then, do you think it would make a difference if i re-installed Firefox?
I'll be back in a bit, going to do the clearing again.
