Default firewall troubles- not urgent

I wasnt exactly sure where to put this, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.

The Ford Forums banner at the top of the web page and the donating member notice above a posters profile picture is being blocked by my firewall (I have confirmed its my firewall thats the problem). What I'm asking is what exactly are they (banners etc) so I can find change the settings under my personal firewall.

Thanks

Do all the other images on the site load? Like the "Post Reply" Button, "Quote" button, All the smileys?

Sounds to me your firewall is then blocking all images with .jpg extenstions. All the forum standard images are .gif (which aren't being blocked by your firewall), but the .jpg ones are, so I suggest you find your firewalls user guide and see if there is a way to put extenstion exceptions in to it if you have access to your firewall that is.

Cheers,

Thanks for the concern mate. But after some trial and error it ended up being the cookie control (Private header information).
I had to reset the firewall due to spyware getting through. I neglected the firewall for a long time so I guess its my own fault.

Sounds alittle strange to me as to why cookies would be blocking such content. Maybe IE Control Set is set o Header in the coding? Ah Well. All's well, end's well!
