Len, in your IE window, where the pictures don't load, if it shows a small
red cross in the corner of the image placeholder, or not even placeholders,
it's most likely a cache or firewall issue. If it shows a small icon (the
one that indicates a picture), it could be a browser issue, like Adelheid
mentioned ("show pictures as placeholders"). If it's the latter, try looking
around in IE>tools>Internet options> Advanced> Multimedia..
Yup Adelheid, point taken about PUG and cookies (don't ask me why I picture
a dog with biscuits) :-) Just in the case of some other websites, can't
think of any offhand, hardly anything loads if cookies are blocked.. frames,
text, script, not to mention images. That's probably why I don't really
bother with cookie blocking (I'm sure the good folk down at ZA meant well
though..)
Regards,
Ryan
