Why are the main page graphics not loading correctly?

In summary, users are experiencing issues with the main page graphics not loading, resulting in a bunch of X's. Some have tried reloading and checking their hosts file, but the issue persists. One user suggests the problem may be caused by spyware and recommends using ad-aware 6 to clean the hard drive. Another user has a new computer and is experiencing the same issue, despite having no previous problems with their computer.

The main page graphics do not load. I only get a bunch of X's...ive tried reloading, and there's nothing in my hosts file to block this. I go to the individual forums and graphics show just fine. Something up?

PeteGt, I get this problem sometimes with other sites too. Usually it's because of spyware conflicting with IE. Download ad-aware 6 to clean your hard drive. Also try clearing your cache and refresh PF.

I get this problem too and it just started today. I don't know, I have a new computer and although I did have that one other problem with the font size, my computer has been working well and I find it strange that Pete has the same problem.
