Why is it that most times that I'm on, the picts that people post on the threads are blacked out and unviewable. They are OK when I first log in in the morning but they all disappear eventually. Including the avatars and sign picts. Hmmmm

 

Do you use Norton Internet security?

 

Norton anti-virus. Is this the problem?

 

The problem is IE6. You can't leave it running for long periods and you should clear temporary files regularly. When pics stop showing up exit IE and start it again.
