I am using zone alarm pro firewall on my computer and ever since the sight changed a few weeks ago I have been unable to view pictures without disabling the firewall. Prior to the sight change, I didn't have any problems. Now I only get black letters saying "attached thumbnails". If anyone else has experienced this problem, I would really appreciate some help solving it. Thanks.

I'm using Zone Alarm as well, and nothing has ever changed for me. You must have denied something access a while back. I have no clue what it could be.

You should probably try tech support at Zone Alarm, I'm sure they would know immediately.

I used to use Zone Alarm and found that it hurt network performance and just wasn't as robust as Kerio Personal Firewall (which I use now).

If you cannot get it working you might try another utility.

I use Zone Alarm Personal (free) with Alltel DSL, with no problems....
it must be one of the ZA program settings?

I hate software firewalls. Get a router with a built in firewall and you will be much happier (and probably safer). Go wireless and you can expand later if you wanted to (or need to now). I run a wireless and it works great.

Thanks DENVER05GT. Tried that just now and it worked great. I thought I had already tried that with no success, but I must have been wrong. No problems now. Thank you so much!

I ditched zone alarm awhile back due to when I would play online games, I picked up 50-75ms more ping time when it was turned on. Now I use a d-link router w/ firewall built in and it works great.
