Can't figure out why all my thumbnail images show on my laptop but not my PC. They were all downloaded the same.

I have seen some situations where a firewall will block some images. Is there anything unique about the way you are protecting the PC vs the laptop?

Thumbnails from your portfolio or voting?

My Portfolio and also voting. I can bring them up when I click on the title. My PC has Norton Firewall protection however my laptop doesn't. I will try to check the setting on the firewall however it seems weird that some show and some don't when they are all jpg files.

I don't know why this happens but my son has the same firewall on his system and when I visit him and check in to DPC the same thing happens. When he turns the firewall off, the thumbnails show fine.

I frankly feel that firewalls are a waste and a pain in the *** unless you set a system up to be accessed from the outside. Most people do not and should not.

Are you using any kind of internet ad/spam blocker, like Norton Internet Security or equivalent?

If so, check out this thread. You need to whitelist a couple DPC addresses because depending on the size of the uploaded challenge entry, the thumbnail dimensions can equal the size of common ads, and are blocked by such programs.
