When I hit the paperclip icon on the bottom of a post, the warning page comes up, but there''s no "cancel" or "download" option..

Oh, and just recently all my PS email notices are being directed to my bulk folder...is that related?

What''s happening??? HELP!!!

TIA...widget

which operating system are you running and what browser are you using?
What is your internet connection? ie: cable,dsl, dial-up
Who is your isp?

Thanks, Storm...heehee...now I get to show off how really dumb I am about these things...

I''m on Windows XP, home edition, and (I think) the browser (?) is "SBC Yahoo Dial". What''s an ISP? It''s a dial up connection.

I found a "PC Doctor" diagnostic program and ran all the tests I could, and passed everthing except "network test" which for some reason wasn''t done.

I''ve noticed that I can see the pictures that are posted without the paperclip icon below (do you know what I mean?...sorry I''m so dense...)

Note to PS: Thanks, but my problem is I can''t see pictures OTHER PEOPLE have attached to their posts. I''m assuming I can still post pictures myself...maybe I''ll try now and see if I can...

And it''s not just on PS...same problem on other sites...

major tooth pain tonight and major meds but ill try and make this make sence...

In at the top of your browser go to:
tools
internet options
security
click on the internet icon
then click default level
ok any warning boxes and ok out of that screen.

Next thing to try is to run windows update and get the lastest updates (do this even if the 1st step fixes the problem).
