50% of all the pictures (smilies, avatars, attachments etc) are giving me a cute boy pointing finger telling me that im a bloody bandwith thief when i surf the site.
Anything I/YOU could do to get rid of this problem? Im a paying member and im pretty sure that i receive this in error. Any hints to solve the problem are welcome.

Thats odd, you should not be getting that.
Does this happen from different computers, i.e. home and work? what browser are you using?

Happening from home, not at work where im now.
Im using both Opera and IE and same thing happens.
I know my internet is kinda bugged as i share connection with the whole neighbourhood and there is a firewall at the server, but there must be some way of avoiding this, cause its impossible to browse or read any guides etc.
Thanks for looking into it!
im having the same probs,
pictures are only half loading on both IE and Opera.

This is something else. I set up an application to stop people leaching our bandwiddth.. i.e. putting our images in [img ] tags on other websites.
Ollpen, ill take a looky tonight, as I am back in the land of living after the wekends activities.

I just checked and it still had the bandwith thief image. I Tried forcing a refresh and it still appeared. I then erased the history in Opera (with ZoneAlarm closed) and reloaded the forums and image and forums work 100%.

Only problem left is scrolling / 5 post issue with Zonealarm active, when its not active it seems ok but loads the first 5 post then take ages to load the rest.

i still need to figure out, what zonealarm is clasifying as an ad.... but from what i read on the net, the ad blocking isnt veryu good, and alot of people have problems with it.
