I've noticed many post with "attchments". How do I open them.
The info on faq was not helpful. It said to click the attachment icon but where is that?
:confused:

Are you talking about thumbnail pictures at the bottom of thre post, links to websites or pictures that appear as a white square with a red X in it?

You should just be able to left click on the thumbnails (that's what those are) to enlarge them

Weird.

Check this setting on your profile:

My Profile -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options -> Visible Post Elements

If that's not it, then something on your PC is blocking the images.

I can view everything else.

I can view images that are hosted elsewhere and have a direct link to like this one . [URL="https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11111"]https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11111[/URL]

BTW, "man, this pig is sooooo cute!!!!!"

This is frustrating. All I can think about is all the stuff i'm missing out on . .​

I think you need to do a few tests regarding your environment.

If you have multiple browsers on your machine, like IE and Firefox, try both or all of them. If you don't have multiple browsers, consider downloading one and trying it.

Next, try logging on and viewing the same threads from different machines.

Then perhaps we can start to narrow down the problem.

Thanks.

I am using IE 6.0 I also tried viewing images wtih firefox on same pc. Nothing. I tried vewing the forum on my kids pc and I saw the images just fine. So I guess it has to be my pc. I went to the vBulletin website thinking it could help me figure out the problem but quickly realized it isn't geared for users like me. Only admin and hosts. So I'm really bummed cause I wanted to see your new animated avatar and can't it's just static to me.
Is there any way you or someone else might be able to help me trouble shoot?
Thanks!
