Can you see pictures on my site?

    I was over at a friend's house yesterday, and I showed him my websites. For some reason, no pictures showed up on www.fpsgaming.us. Can a couple of you check and see if there are pics? The main page should have a picture next to each "news" title.

    Thanks!

    I bet you they had an ad blocker (Like Symantec or many others) which works on image sizes that typically carry ads.

    Anyway, they are fully functional

    Confirmed....Its Ad Blocking ;)

    You can add a few pixels to get around that

    Ad Blocking can tell something is an ad by its size (ie 165 x 165) as its a common ad size. You could make the pictures slightly bigger like 168x168 and it would not get caught by the filters.

    So I can just resize it with HTML or do I need to resize it in a photo editor?

    Personally, I think its never good to resize with HTML as it either distorts or wastes bandwidth (slower loading)

    Take the time to always use a photo editor...Also be careful blowing things up like the phpBB logo which is very pixelated ;)

    I think I actually shrunk that one down to small, and that's why it looks like that.
    So the pics right now are 100x100, if I make all my new ones 101x101, that should work?

    I'm interning at the IT department at my tech school, and there's nothing to do... Right now I'm installing XP and Office on some laptops, but I can only do one at a time, so I just browse forums while the stuff is installing :)
    I wonder if "real" IT jobs are like this?

    No, "real" IT install them more than one at a time. :)

    Lol, I only one CD for each program to install though :D Although I did work 7 hours and only got 3 laptops done...

    Anyways, I finally got around to changing the pic size. I did it the lazy way, with HTML. I guess the pics are 125x125, not 100x100 like I said earlier. So I just changed the Edge Ghosting pic to 126x126, so hopefully you can see it.
