I experience that sometimes too, mostly with the forum homepage, but also with the mainpage sometimes. I usually just press F5 (refresh) 1-2 times and then the icons/pictures show up.

I think you need to lay off the weed or something.... Everything shows up for me and a few other people I've asked to check it.

Maybe you happened to see the red x's when the database was down? Who knows.

Here's what happened a while ago:

-People were "hotlinking" some of the images on here. Hotlinking if you don't know is when someone takes the URL of the image and pastes it in the image source on their own site (or on some other message board for example). Doing this means that every time someone views the IllMuzik image on some other site, it adds to IllMuzik's bandwidth. So I had to find a way to prevent it.

-I put a bunch of code in a file to prevent hotlinking but then red x's showed up all over the IllMuzik pages! Anyway, I fixed it. But when you said you were getting red x's, I thought it might have been from the code again, but like you said - it's your firewall. Firewalls can be a real pain...

I didn't change my firewall, but i haven't gotten the x's in a minute. They kind of just "Fade"ed away..... Get it? Fade-ed away? Ha ha ha ha aaaaa... Shit, I'm sober. Sorry bout that.
