Hi

I need some help please. I can't seem to see the 'Captcha' on pages that I load, and not really sure what may be wrong. I had no problems with these pages previously. Any suggestions would be appreciated x Thanks

    Have you disabled images?

    Have you changed your security settings in IE?

    If other images are loading ok then that's not the issue.

    Load a page with captcha on and hold down the control key and press F5 this forces a page refresh without using a cache.

    Out of curiousity what ISP are you using?

    It's not via Virgin (cable) is it?

    Might be your firewall settings, if its got a banner ad feature turned on, it could stop captcha images on web pages appearing.
