Go to the tab that says USER CP and in your options/prefs, make sure that you can view images, it is a YES/NO line. I belive the default is NO.

Someone posted on the technical board that he couldn't see the appended images. I can't either, and I have no bloody idea what Paolo is talking about in his response to the person. I am using Netscape and have okayed images from the get-go. I can see everything on this site but the pictures which everyone else seems to be getting a kick out of. (Mentally insert link to "hot" error message here as humorous aside.)

It's no encouragement to register if I can't see what pictures are here. It seems as though a fifth or more of the stories posted now are in German or French (and I am not about to try stories from here on Babel Fish -- the poor thing would be like a fish out of earwax). More than half of the stories now are straight-oriented (sorry, NOT interested!). Too many of the serials drag on and on with no eunuch-izing happening. Add that to the traditional Internet problem that most people who write online seem to be functionally illiterate (or have their grammar checkers turned off even if their spell checkers are turned on), and there is little incentive to gamble on one's privacy being unceremoniously invaded by the Fatherland Security Forces if Deputy Reichschancellor Ashcroft decides to slap a subpoena on your e-mail registry.

This is the first time I have visited the message boards at the Archive. It was discouraging not to see the pictures and was a disincentive to register. A picture is worth one thousand words. And it is always spelled correctly and has proper syntax. Unless it is corrupted. But, come to think of it, we're all corrupted here, aren't we? Hehehehehe.

BTW, I did enjoy "Lost in Hollywood". Although I don't like painted-up peg boys, the story was queer enough to provoke a desirable response; its being very well written didn't hurt, either.

First of all, you have to be logged in.

In the upper right corner of the screen is a row of buttons. USER CP is the first one. Click that.

Once that screen opens, click OPTIONS.

Scroll down until you see the line that says THREAD VIEW OPTIONS. Right under that is post elements. It has a choice as to whether to see images or not.

The next issue is a firewall. Every now and then, I run across a site that my firewall doesn't like and I can't see the images on it. Several popular ones are Norton, Black Ice, Zone Alarm, and Tiny Little something-or-other. Check your settings on the firewall that you have, IF you have one.

If you have Windows XP, go to MY COMPUTER, CONTROL PANEL, and look for the Internet options. XP has a built in firewall, although being from Microsoft, it's full of flaws. I'd suggest turning THAT one off and getting a real one. If you bought the software, read the book. If you "stole" it and cracked it, you're on your own.

I'm going to look in the VBulletin settings right now. The Admin interface to this version isn't very pretty, and I don't like going in there!

As far as the rest of the site not living up to your expectations, all I can say to that is you can't please everyone. No one made come here, and with what you paid to get in, I don't know what you expect.

After having test the theory by logging out and clearing cookies, you don't have to be logged in to see images. I could view all of the boards just fine.

If you can't see images, then it's either the fact that you have them turned off in your User Options, or you have a firewall or other issue with your PC.

Now Paolo,

I was expecting you over for dinner... and don't forget your tool box.

I also tested the images and could see everything just fine.

Unregistered, you mentioned twice in your posting about not registering. Do me a favor and don't.

That is all.

"His cock was cut off, followed by his balls. The end."

There, that should be good for several jack-off sessions for those readers with short attention spans.

Great response (Shortie's) wife. I love it!...

Thanks Paolo for the earlier advice- sure enough it is the firewall that stops the images, once I disable it, everything is fine.

Cheers
