==images==

I'm accessing Wikipedia from a different machine, and none of the images display. This computer uses XP instead of 98SE, but there are no other changes that a computer illiterate like me is aware of. I have Zone Alarm security suite and SpybotSD. Any ideas how I can make the images visible again? [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 15:34, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

:Some web browsers allow you to turn off display of images.  Any chance that that's what happened?  Also, glancing at the source code, it looks like CSS and JavaScript are used to display images.  Could support for either of those be lacking or turned off?  What browser and version are you using?

:I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually a badly configured Zone Alarm: in my experience personal firewalls will limit the number of successive connections made by an "unknown" piece of software, and browsers fetching images tend to do so in a whole burst of connections. The same thing happens if a page has multiple frames: some of them will mysteriously be unavailable. If this is your problem, you need to go into the settings of Zone Alarm (which I've never used, I'm afraid) and find some way of telling it that whatever browser you're using is "trusted", or just that it exists (it may well have automatic settings you can tell it to apply, and even an option to search for 'net-enabled apps; I know Norton has both). Good luck! - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 16:36, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

::My ISP is AOL 9.0, which I assume uses IE (as I said, I know nothing about computing). images on a couple of other sites I've used seem to  display, and one of the media links to a larger image worked, although not one jpg in an article will display. I'll play around, but from my position of ignorance, I'm not hopeful. [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 05:26, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

:::I've had this problem too.  Going to ZoneAlarm - Privacy - Ad Blocking and turning off the blocking of banner ads fixed it for me. --[[User:Cavrdg|Cavrdg]] 18:13, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
