Hi,

Me and my colleague have noticed a very strange issue in firefox regarding some image on my website (or it may be the directory).

On my PC in firefox (or IE) these images look fine:

http://www.scruffian.com/banners/

On his PC everything is fine in IE but firefox won't let him look at the directory contents or the images (it thinks they are 5px x 5px gifs?!).

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks
Ben

Works fine for me using FF 2.0.0.3

Sounds like it might be some type of ad blocking software. Ask him if he has some type of security software installed on his system. If he does then tell him to disable it temporarily and then try viewing the page and see what happens. I bet if you put the images in a different folder NOT named banners he would probably be able to see them. Many ad blocking software checks urls and notices the word banners so it tries to block anything in that directory.

It very well could be that the word "banner" is being blocked. I avoid that word in naming conventions for that very reason.

-Those are awesome pictures, btw. I know places in New York that these remind me of (and make me a little bit homesick for)... :)
