Online Store - Images

Is it just me, or are all the images in the online store whacked? Was that an after effect of the image nuke to conserve space? Makes it difficult to view items and prices.

the online store images are still there. I would clear your cache, cookies etc and try again. I'm having no issues with seeing items in the online store. The images nuke is for attachments only and has nothing to do with any other part of the site.

Hmmmmmmmm... Should have checked to see where the images were coming from. For some reason, everything is being blocked from store1.yimg.com. Time to start digging and find out where it's being blocked from. Most likely my hosts file.

Edit -- Yup.. That was the ticket. Hosts file had the image server listed. I can see the images now.

Yup, mine had it blocked a while back as well.

A lot of "yimg" servers were blocked in it, gradually over time I figured out which ones I needed for day-to-day surfing and "#" them out.
I also found out the server that Microsoft hosts their Windows Update on was blocked.

You must have gotten your Hosts list from the same place I did.

That's easy! Shoot the sock monster and you'll retrieve your socks from the dryer as they should be retieved!
