Starting a couple of weeks ago or so, when craigslist returns search results, I don't see thumbnails on the page, and there are no images in posts. Many of the posts are followed by "pic", but the thumbnail is not in the left margin and there is no photo inside the post. Did I override installation of some update that I should have allowed? Using: Mozilla Firefox. Dell Inspiron E1705 Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600) I'm not sure which forum to post this under.

For example, when ZoneAlarm is telling me that Adobe Reader is trying to access the trusted zone, ... should I allow it?

It's not you, I see the same thing.

I think it's me. : ) After a week or two of not seeing images I did a craigslist search at work and it was fine. However, they do have old desktops there. My laptop is old, but not as bad as their desktops. But they probably don't get automatic updates. And I've tried doing internet searches and no one else seems to have the same problem. Maybe a couple of years ago, or with some phone app.

It's not you, I see the same thing.

he's telling you there's nothing wrong with your pc/laptop and there's nothing we can do to solve the issue.

like Ztruker said, it happens to him also, so now "no one else seems to have the same problem" you do know someone else it happens too.

and i guarantee there's nothing wrong with Ztruker pc/laptop either.

Hi Terry1966- Do you know Ztrucker? When he says: " It's not you, I see the same thing." How do you know that he means that nothing's wrong with my laptop and there's nothing I can do to solve the issue? I'm a little confused. Why can't there be ? You must have worked on Ztrucker's computer to guarantee there's nothing wrong with that pc/laptop. ? Maybe there's "something wrong" with software or whatever on both of our computers. By "no one else seems to have the same problem" I meant that..... usually when there is a problem with sites (such as craigslist) or types of software (such as some of the software on my laptop) that are so widely used, a big flurry of postings and "yeah, me too" comments will start searching up. And until I posted my problem, I did not know about Ztrucker. When I Google search: craigslist thumbnails images people are having trouble adding images to their postings or in 2008 "Starting some time early this morning, it appears that all images hosted by Craigslist are unavailable." or "CraigsToolbox - the Ultimate Craigslist Mashup": "Craigstoolbox let's you preview both text and images right below the post title" or 2008 "Craigslist Image Preview: Firefox extension to add images to ...": "Odds are, if you're an avid user of craigslist, you've often asked this question: why can't I have the ability to see the images of." or 2008 "While Craigslist ads are still available, the pictures associated with the ads are not loading.

You must be thinking about another craigslist app. Pictures ..." I think when I added "2011" to the terms, one of the hits that comes up brings up a window that I can't use my task manager to remove, unless I exit any and all browser windows and remove the offending page at the Mozilla restore page. Anyway, this was at least a week ago. I seem to see one new hit since then. Also, silver terry1966 "he's telling you there's nothing wrong with your pc/laptop and there's nothing "WE" can do to solve the issue."....should I just give up on craigslist?, because the images tell me 90% of what I want to know about an item? (Who's "WE" anyway? What The Tech? expert terry1966 and Ztrucker?)

[Ztruker]

All I meant was I went to Craig's List and searched for something and got the same resulst you did, the word pic at the end of each result but no image. Just tried it again and got the same result but noticed there is a [Show images] at the top right of the page. Clicked that and now I do have images for most (not all) of the items.

[kapusta]

I should have said that in the beginning. I already have "Show Images" selected. It was a wonderful feature for the months that it was working. But I have it on now, and there re no images or thumbnails. That feature works at my job very well. I tried it about a week ago.

[kapusta]

Ztrucker, I guess that you were saying that before you used "Show Images" you were not seeing thumbnails for listing subjects / titles that ended with "pic". But when you went into the listing, wasn't there still a picture? For me, I don't see thumbnails on the left side of the "hit" page and I don't see any images or pictures when I go into the posting. No pictures, just the text of the listing. (Could this have anything to do with any updates or upgrades? I am still holding off on responding to my ZoneAlarm Security Alert [CHANGED PROGRAM]: "Adobe Reader is trying to access the trusted zone." "Allow" ? "Deny" ? ["Application: AcroRd32.exe"] "This program has changed since the last time it ran!")

hope Ztrucker's suggestion

fixes it for you.

terry1966..... "Hope Ztrucker's suggestion ... .... fixes it for you". Did you read my last 2 replies to Ztrucker? Please read them. Anyone . . . ?. . . . ? . . . . . .

[terry1966]

Did you read my last 2 replies to Ztrucker?

no missed them.

try turning off zone alarm and any popup blockers your web browser uses, or try another web browser.

if you can then see them it will give you a place to start looking for the problem.

Have you added ann Add-ons to FireFox? Trfy starting it in it's Safe Mode. SOmething like Start, Programs, Mozilla FireFox, FireFox (Safe Mode). See if the pics show up then. If yes then you need to figure out which Add-on is causing the problem via Tools, Manage Add-ons.

That's the procedure of investigation that I'd use.
