Same problem sometimes guys - 1Mb NTL broadband, Windows XP and Norton Internet Security. On occasions, I'll get a Red 'x' where there should be an image. other times, it's fine.

V strange.....

Guys,
For those of you with Norton Personal Firewall,you need to perform the following actions:

Some Norton Firewall Users have complained of a red 'X' instead of displaying an image heres the fix.
Taken From The Norton Website:

This problem happens because the affected Web sites display the images by first sending information to another server and then obtaining the images from that server. The information that the Web sites send is called referral information. For added security, the 4.0.3 update prevents Web sites from sending your referral information to other servers.

To resolve the problem, create a rule for each affected Web site to allow the site to send referral information.


1. Determine the address of the Web site that shows the problem. Typical addresses are similar to "www.bob.com" or "ads.acme.com."
2. Add the Web site to the list of sites that NIS and NPF monitor:
a. Open NIS or NPF.
b. Click Options, Internet Security, and then Advanced Options.
c. Click "Add Site."
d. Type the site name ( upload.turbosport.co.uk ) and click OK. This adds the new site to the Web list.
3. Change the options for the Web site:
a. Choose the site that you just added in the Web list.
b. Click the Privacy tab.
c. Choose "Permit" in the "Referer" section that is in the "Browsing Privacy" section.
d. Click Apply, OK, and then OK again.
4. Close NIS or NPF.
5. Restart the computer.

When you next visit that Web site, the Web site displays all its images.

Looks quite technical but is actually straightforward.... (Copied and pasted from the Turbosport uploader website!!!

Trust this answers all your questions?

Good luck

Nick

If you right click the pics that aren't displayin (Normally have a red cross in a small square) and choose Properties.Take part of the url ie the http://www.blablabla.com and paste it into Norton Firewall as you've done for the Turbosport uploader,you should find that'll work!!

HTH
