Why can't I view some pictures?

    On various forums I go on I've found that while i'm at work, whether I'm on the bridge computer, my phone or tablet on wifi I can view some pictures and not others. This is also true of some pictures that are PM'd to me as well. Any ideas what could be causing this as I'm getting fed up having to wait until I get home to catch up on things.

    Stu it could possibly be a proxy server which is stopping the images being viewable

    Yeah probably the company proxy.

    Which images can you see Stu?

    For example can you see the one I have posted below this sentence?

    It probably means you are going through a proxy right now and that proxy is actively blocking g some content. That might be by design or not. So.e proxies don't always translate everything g that they send on in a correct manner. Which means you may be stuck with it

    Have you tried using a VPN, Stu, such as VPNForUK?

    Him it looks that way. From on the ship the our server is situated in Norway so I suppose it depends on how it is set up. Markham, I'm not sure because of this I'll be able to use the link you suggested because of the work server, plusi don't want to risk getting caught out by IT dept. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Looks like I'm stuck with it.
