UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Internet Explorer 7 and Images Displays

Being that I work for a large Software Co that remains nameless and wont allow me to use FF at work I must use IE7. Why are my Avatar and Signature images here showing in FF but not IE7?

Firefox seems to load these forums much faster than IE7 I noticed

Sounds like their proxy server is filtering out the images (as the error is Not Acceptable it's commonly known for something being blocked)

I am actually at home on Comcast though . Oh how strange..now IE7 is dsplaying them. I get this same error sometimes when I perform certain control panel functions as well with IE7. The last one I remember was approving a new user registration. Sometimes when I get the "please wait while we return you to the page" it ends up as a 406 error as well. Then I cannot even use a book mark to go to the main site, I actually have to open a new browser window and reopen the page. I am thinking there must be some sort of issue with IE7 and Tabs maybe? I got the above error when I actually put the image URL in a tab of an allready open browser . Opening a new browser must have fixed it.

Well, generally when I see a 406 error it's related to mod_security, an apache module which does a load of checks to ensure no known malformed url exploits can "own" a server; it'd make sense that this would be occouring for you in some areas, but the image area i figured it would likely have been a proxy server deriving an error.

what do your weblogs say on the server at these timeframes?
