Hello and thanks for looking.

My husband is having problems with his browser and frankly I have no idea what he has done to make it this way. It's like this is both Firefox and IE, so I'm assuming it must be a general setting or something *shrug*

First of all I noticed the problem with my website logo not loading. It can't be that he has disabled images as the other images load just fine.

Here is a screen capture from his computer of my website:

Here is the same screen capture from my computer (showing correctly):

Now here's the next problem noticed. I was on this forum as a guest, when I had linked him to something. It the google sponsored links. Again, they don't show for his computer, but show just fine for mine.

Here's a screen capture showing the problem from his computer:

And a normal screen capture from my computer:

Anyone know what's happening?

Thanks,

Must be because anti-banner part of his firewall/virus software filters out data.

Thanks Pekka, that was it!

We both have the same virus etc software (Kaspersky IS6) and I had set BOTH of ours up to not block banners, but rest on. He must've of turned it off but I never thought to check it again since he said he didn't touch/change it. Ugh! :rolleyes: :lol:

Loads fine on mine. Agree with the above. In the cascading style sheet the reference to the title image is 'banner' so it is being filtered out:

#banner { background-image: url(../images/banner.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 115px; }

See here:

Others with same setting won't see the 'banner' either.

EDIT: Ok, you sorted it already ;-)

So if I change my CSS file to rename that to 'logo' instead of banner that will allow people with anti-banner software running to load it correctly?

Something new to try :)

Shhhhhh, dont say it too loud, all the advertisers will be renaming banner files to 'logo' get around the 'anti-banner' software from blocking the ads ;) :)
