Hello guys.

Like me, you will no doubt have been suffering with the avatar/images issue where most pictures fail to appear.

I am happy to tell you that I have found a way to fix this.

The problem seems to be that all the avatars and so on are from the livecloud.com domain, but forum itself is on the gagajoyjoy.com domain.  Some how this is making IE's Privacy Protection System become nervous and it is not allowing media from the livecloud.com domain to appear.

Anyway, that being the case, you should try following these steps and see if you have the same success that I've had.

Step 1 - look at the VERY bottom of Internet Explorer, you'll see the status bar which has various little symbols.  One of these symbols looks like an eye, with a small red and white circle beneath it.

Step 2 - double click that eye, and a dialogue should then appear.

Step 3 - at the bottom of the dialogue will be a SETTINGS button, click it, another dialogue appears.

Step 4 - about half way down the dialogue will be a SITES button, click it, another dialogue appears.

Step 5 - Find the text box with a label above it which says "Address of website".

Step 6 - in that text box type livecloud.com

Step 7 - find the button called ALLOW, and click it.

Step 8 - in the list box below, livecloud.com should now be present, and next to it, the words Always Allow.

Step 9 - at the bottom of the dialogue is an OK button, click it.

Step 10 - close all the remaining open dialogues.

Step 11 - refresh this page to see if it's worked.

Yes, it's a bit of a long winded process but I've tried to make it as easy to understand as I can.  Let me know how you get along.

Thank you very much spidermonkey! That worked fine and now I can see all the avatars on this page.

Have I let myself in for a load of pop-up windows or anything though? I'm a terrible worrier!

I felt sure that there should be a way that IE could be made to work with this site. It just didn't make sense. So thank you again. I don't have to install a different browser now!

It's so much better being able to see familiar avatars.

another helpful tweak on i.e. is the compatability view button, it's in tools. best tweak of all though is to ditch i.e. and use google chrome....
I gave up on IE for a while and used Safari instead but google chrome seems to be popular with FM's on here so I might give that a try too.

And thanks Spidermonkey: I've c&p your post and saved it for future reference just in case.......

Sorry to be a thickie but where am I looking for the eye thing?

Hey there.  The eye should look like this:



Hopefully you can see that.

If you can't find that symbol, then try this:

- Go to the TOOLS menu at the top of IE

- Select INTERNET OPTIONS

- A dialogue will appear with a bunch of tabs at the top.

- Select the tab labelled PRIVACY.

- Continue my original guide from Step 4 onwards.
