I don't know why - maybe it's something to do with the Adblock extension or something - but I have lost the 'new post' and things-like-that icons in Firefox. I just get text.
Anybody know what I can do to fix it?

Probably is, the site uses an off-site image hosting service.

To fix it, turn off your ad blocker.

If that works, you may want to tell the manufacturer of the brain-dead ad blocking script that you're using that it would be a good idea if they used a different metric than "server name" to see if the ads were really ads.

What's the name of the image host?

Ok. Strange problem. That server is not actually on my list of blocked sites/servers. I wonder what the problem could be....?

BonRouge, have you got the webdev toolbar installed?

Heh heh- I had the same thing- I blocked the ads up the top without realising all the images were hosted there.

the little yellow triangle pointing you to threads in which you made a post also disappears once you switch computers because WebmasterWorld stores that kind of info in a cookie I guess
