I blocked an image in photobucket storing site and found that instead of one particular image I had block the url http://s208.photobucket.com/home/Gibelgirl/index while in Firefox and while images are in there I can not see them. This only happens in F irefox as in other browser there is no problem. Photobucket has informed me that I have blocked the site with the FireFox browseer. Can you tell me how to unblock please as I need these images. Thanks JanUK

Chosen solution

With the Photobucket page on display, click on the site identity button (the icon to the left of the URL in the location bar), and then on the "More Information" button. This opens a dialog box containing details about the page. Select the Permissions tab, and make sure that "Load Images" is set to Allow (selecting "Use Default" should also work)

If that didn't help then:

  • Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
  • Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
