Does anybody here have the same problem? I'm running a dual monitor setup, and for some strange reason, thumbnails don't appear whenever I view the forum. It doesnt matter if it's from imageshack or whatever, they simply don't show up.

Anybody with multiple monitors having this problem? Jabba maybe?

What thumbnails do you mean exactly ?

Well, the sigs show up, the avatars show up, but the thumbnails that are used in the ultimate pictures topic (especially the ones from imageshack) don't. Very weird. They show up on my single monitor PC, but not the dual one. :| I'm wondering if you, or anybody with a multi-monitor setup is having the same issues.

The multi monitor PC uses an Nvidia 6600LE 256mb 128-bit card. I can't see anything wrong with it though. What's strange is that full photos show up. :|

I have had lots of multi monitor setups, and in general they either work or they dont (once they are setup right), I have never had or heard about problem like you have got, like you say, very weird. I will let you know if I think of anything.

Are you using any multi monitor software at all ?

Well, I tried fiddling with zone alarm. Nada. I don't use any dual monitor software. The nvidia driver is actually "ready" to use multimonitors.

or so it says.

Weird. Weird. Weird.

::EDIT:: I just noticed something brilliant as well. The animated sigs we have, don't animate.

This is getting better all the time.

Are you sure this isnt a browser issue, how about trying some others ??

I think this is a software problem rather than a hardware problem. Like Jabba said, probably a browser issue.

Excellent idea. Who needs two monitors anyway? :P I'm not 100% sure how a dual monitor setup operates, but I doubt the problem has anything to do with the fact that there's two monitors.

It can't be zonealarm because I used zonealarm on one of my older pc's (single monitor setup), but I didn't have this problem.

Jabbster: I've tried FF and IE. Same banana. Strange. I know it's not the forum, but there's something definitely going on with the PC.

Yeah, I know, I was joking. ;)

Is it a codec-related problem?
