Anyone else having trouble with image links showing?
« on: August 03, 2011, 09:30:28 PM »
I've noticed that a number of pics might be visible on one browser and not on another (I can see most of them on Safari at work [but not all], but most I CAN'T see at home on Firefox. Ideas? Suggestions?

Install noscript for firefox? I'm seeing calls to google and some other site taking a while and I don't think they're absolutely required for proper functionality.

Click this link, then click the green install button. Then restart firefox and try again.

Yes, you'll stop getting annoying pop ups and a good chunk of the annoying sidebar adds or website hover adds will go away. Win/win yes?
