Ad Blocking on this website?
-
Without access to your OS directly we have to guess here...
Failing in Chrome at least suggests it's not a browser add-on.
Therefore it's either a firewall issue or perhaps some other app that you have running [like an anti-virus tool] that is blocking websites and therefore being interpreted by the SCF side as a deliberate ad-block...Have you done this:

Hi,
not even Chrome changes displays me SCF attachments. So, it isn't the Browser to be the problem.
i added sketchucation.com and buysellads.com to my firewall whitelist, then i cleaned the Cache. Unfortunately, nothing changed.May I ask if you're connected to the internet via a corporate network or not? If yes, is it possible that the corporate firewall blocks buysellads?

Thanks TIG for spending so much time trying to sort out this problem for jojo9. At least having it documented may save time for others in the same predicament.

i can't agree more as what Mike already said. I'm not the person who demands that somebody is jumping in for my requests right in the next moment, but ya.
I organized my web browsing settings long time ago, to live a half-way relative secure browsing experience. Nobody likes the man in glass, now lesser than yet before. (…)
I forgot what i set up so carefully, but i modified several things, who aren't "standard" preventive methods, to block spam from the outside world.
Time to go back and study what i modified.

I'm getting the same message. Can't view posted images but see the ads just fine.
Using FF22,Vista and AT&T home and nothing has changed or been updated in the last 2 days.
Just tested with IE and same issue. Images loads and then disappears with Ad Block notice in its place.
Ad Block is turned off. All other software settings set to allow SCF.
No problems with other websites.
Something changed in the last 2 days.

Now working again.
How odd.
Took Sketchucation off Ad Block whitelist and then reloaded and re-added it and it now seems to be working just fine.
Things that make you go "hmmm".
-
no, we are tweaking the site. so you're suggestion is just related to timing.
toggling adblock doesn't fix it since we have it currently disabled

There were some IT gurus beavering away in the background at SCF this morning.
Seems something got briefly broken giving false positives on the ad-blocking.
It's fixed now... -
Now i see users attachments again. Thanks for helping out.
