+cjf Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I've been using Mozilla Firefox (Version 1.0.3) as my browser for some time. A few weeks ago, I was reading posts in the forums and everything was fine: I could see all the "little pictures" such as the envelopes, emoticons, etc. Then I must have inadvertantly done something because all the icons vanished! I don't have a clue what I did and I wasn't even in the Mozilla Firefox Tools/Option menu. I was just reading the posts. Maybe I brushed against some keys that sent a "don't show icons" message to Firefox. Not a clue. I've re-installed Mozilla Firefox, looked in Tools/Options to see if I needed to check any boxes, checked to make sure I'm running the most current version, searched (unsuccessfully) on the web for a solution. The forums do appear correctly when I'm in Internet Explorer and that's what I have to use to post messages because even the icons to post a reply don't appear in Mozilla Firefox. Help! I'd appreciate any suggestions to get the icons to reappear in Firefox. I miss my tabbed browsing! cjf Quote Link to comment
+Team yGEOh Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 IF you have the adblock extension installed check the preferences. Tools > Adblock > Preferences That is one way to cause images and the like to not be displayed. You can always restart Firefox in Safe Mode and see if the problem goes away. Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox(Safe Mode) There are other extensions that can do the same thing. Quote Link to comment
+cjf Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Team yGEOh, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them and no luck. I don't have any extensions loaded and opening Firefox in safe mode as you suggested didn't make any difference. This is driving me nuts.... Quote Link to comment
+gnbrotz Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 ...looked in Tools/Options to see if I needed to check any boxes,... I'm assuming you've been to Tools --> Options --> Web Features and made sure the "Load Images" box is checked? Quote Link to comment

If load images box is checked, click on the Exceptions button on the right and see if you have forums.Groundspeak.com blocked. Quote Link to comment

To fix: From the Tools menu, select Options. Click on Web Features. To the right of Load Images, you'll see a button labeled Exceptions. Click it. You should see an entry for img.Groundspeak.com. Highlight that entry, and click the Remove Site button. Goodness is restored. Quote Link to comment
+cjf Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thank you, thank you all! Apparently at some point I pressed what ever keys were necessary to include img.Groundspeak.com on the exceptions list. I've rectified the situation and and....ta da! I've got smilies and pictures and everything else back in Mozilla! If there was a jumping for joy smiley I'd end this post with it! cjf Quote Link to comment
+5 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Same thing happens to me once in a while. Oddly enough, doing nothing seems to fix it the next time I open it. Quote Link to comment
