really n00b question but..
 

my question was that every time an image is saposed to be showing it just is a white box with a red x inside it help me i need to see images!

Re: really n00b question but..
 

your parents probably have something enabled that blocks images.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

Are you talking about viewing files on the internet, or trying to upload images on your post? Be more specific (not trying to be sarcastic or anything, but it helps to be more specific so that I or someone else can help you with your problem).

Your question is ok and people have this problem for a variety of reasons, and some of these reasons or causes can be tough to solve.

Remember that the only stupid question is the one that you do not ask (the chairman of the Physics and Astronomy Department taught me that or said it to me, and it is true).

Anyway, where and when are you getting the red x's in the boxes?

Re: really n00b question but..
 

ok for exsample i got on www.sof2files.com the potd is blocked all other images such as file of the week screen shots are blocked and when i search images on a site (such as google) all the images come up with no x's whats up with that??

Re: really n00b question but..
 

it just happened recently (today) and no my parents havent used my computer in years. how do i know?? because my compter is in my room. i really am apreciating this help guys:)

*Moved to teh feedback*

Re: really n00b question but..
 

This problem seems to be affecting all of the FN sites from what I just noticed. It should be resoved soon though. I would just be patient.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

also check that you didn't accidentally disable images in your browser (check tools and options.) this is an old setting that was useful to those with slow modems to view sites and it sounds like you may have checked it off. (if this problem is with all web sites that is)

hope that helps

[edit] there is no such thing as a noobish or stupid question. only a noobish or supid reluctance to gain enlightenment.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

I have it exactly like that and im still getting little images with x's in them. on most filefront sites. I think the codfiles server has crashed cause its the worst. and no one is updating it.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

ok thanx guys but on non FN sites still some pics have the x's but not all pics i have all my advanved options set with showing the pics and stuff but my problem isnt solved yet:wtf:

Re: really n00b question but..
 

people who have probelms viewing FN site should read this announcement. it is only temporary.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

It says that I do not have permissions to view that page that you linked.
Has it been deleted?

What webrowser are you using, and what kind of internet connection do you use?

It really could be fault of you browser, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) server, your connection (even if you have broadband, you can still have a bad connection), or the website server's fault, or the website creator's fault as they may have made an erronous webpage.

In the case of the browser problem, It can be plugins or just the browser you are using that is causing the problem. If I know what browser you are using, I might be able to help you more in solving this problem or refer you to someone who can solve this problem.

If it is your connection, you should get your parents to call your ISP about this problem so they can fix it. If they don't fix it the first time you call and you still have problems, continue calling them so that they know there is a problem with your connection and that it needs to be fixed, but don't be impatient as it may take time for the ISP to solve your problem, and there could a more general problem with the ISP's servers that is causing your problems.

Also, is it just pictures, or it movies or animations alone, or is it just random images and videos that do not come up?

Re: really n00b question but..
 

i linked to an announcement saying tha FF were changing service provider and therefore images currently aren't displaying properly on FN sites.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

Announcement
Check often at the top of a forum to see if there are any new announcements. :)

Re: really n00b question but..
 

Ok. I do remember the announcement by n0e now. I did read it yesterday after the forum crash. Thanks.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

Some info hope it helps:

1.some sigs such as sir paul's in the file front forums are blocked

2. im using broadband

3. i dont know whant you mean "browser" but im using internet explorer

Re: really n00b question but..
 

A browser is what you use to access the internet. Internet Explorer is an example of a browser. You mentioned that this problem occurs outside of webpages that are not affiliated with filefront in anyway, right? I am just wondering.

What sites do you go on that have this problem. I will go to those sites and see if I encounter the same problem.

Also, I use a browser that is different than Internet Explorer. It is called Firefox. Many forum members that I know here use Firefox. It is a pretty good and fast browser, though not all websites are friendly to it, but on the other hand it seems to work better than Internet Explorer. Download it and visit those sites and see if those images will load (get your parents' permission first, though, if it is their computer. Otherwise, it should be easy to download and install).

You can download the browser from this website. Again, if this is your parents computer, get their permission before downloading and installing it. (Do not worry, it is free and there is nothing derogatory with it).

http://www.mozilla.org/

I may use Internet Explorer and see if I get the same problems with the websites you give me, and I will access them with Firefox and see if I get those same errors. Usually, things will work on Firefox that do not work with Internet Explorer, and vice-versa. As a web browser, I would recommend Firefox, though I would not ditch Internet Explorer entirely.

Hope this helps. If you get permission to get Firefox and need help installing it, PM or IM me and I can help you as best as I can, or I can direct you to someone who can help you.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

ok i get what a "browser" is now and i have firefox but one more thing about fire fox: i cant seem to get and sound when i know there is sapposed to be sound i looked in options but i couldnt find anything so any ideas? o and it was stilll blocking images on sites that had nothing to do with filefront.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

I'll mess with the setting on my Firefox later and see what happens. Maybe then I can get a better idea on the problem might be and hopefully fix it.

Another question, though, does Internet Explorer or Firefox have a bar that shows up when you visit these websites stating that either this page tried to download and install plugins into your browsers or that plugins are needed in order to view content on that webpage? If so, this may be a problem with those plugins, or that you just don't have them and your browsers need them in order for those pictures to appear and the video and sound clips you say that are messed up to run correctly.

Examples of plugins, or at least what I am referring to, are Java, Flash, Shockwave, and Quicktime.

If this is your problem, I can help you learn how to install these plugins or tell you how without putting too much spyware and unwanted programs on your computer and not mess your computer up. If you know what to look for, check and see if you have the plugins to view the content you are trying to view.

Re: really n00b question but..
 

I use Avant browser . your not meaning a pop up blocker , sounds interesting .Give as much info to the moderators about your pc .Like DREADNOUGHDK , Said :nodding: see teck support . m8

Re: really n00b question but..
 

i couldnt get on FN or GF at all for about 10 minutes yesterday, what has to be done has to be done

Re: really n00b question but..
 

i have all the java, shockwave, quicktime, flash stuff on my firefox, all the images show up (not on filefront sites still) using firefox and they were just regualer pics (no anamation) so i guess something is wrong with internet explorer but i dont really care i like firefox betterhttp://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/smilie.gif so just the sound problem and im set. :bows:
