Missing images

If some images are missing when you're browsing someones photos it is most likely a problem with some popup-blocker or ad-blocker (such as Norton Internet Security or ZoneAlarm) that you are using. The maximum size for a thumbnail photo is 120x90, which coincidently happens to be a common size for small ads, so the image is blocked. To resolve the problem, simply disable the popup-blocker or ad-blocker.

Old web browser

If you still have problems with our website, you might need to upgrade to a newer web browser version. Communities.com supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, as long as it's a fairly new web browser version.

Mozilla Firefox

Some of our members have had some smaller problems with Mozilla Firefox, for instance the quick menu/icons doesn't flash when you receive a new message/guestbook entry etc. This problem seems to be solved by allowing communities.com to show popups.
