How can I re-enable images from a website? I clicked on the little help icon next to an advertisement on eBay - the message was something like "do you want to disable/block block static pictures from this site in future?" I clicked yes. 

I thought it would just get rid of the advertisements, but it's disabled a lot of the site functions (drop-down menus, icons, etc).

And I can't work out how to undo it.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages

A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button. This will open the Security tab of the Page Info window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info). Go to the Media tab of that Page Info window. Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow. If an image 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.
