about:blank is the standard name for a blank tab. Open a new tab in IE7 and you'll see about:blank in the address bar
That's what I'm trying to say, the standard tab name is supposed to be "Blank Page." If it says "About Blank" you've been highjacked. It's a fact, look it up on google or any other search engine.
I had it once and it took a spyware program xoftspyse to get rid of it. My tabs returned to "Blank Page again after using it.." If you have it, you lose control of your homepage, and every time you set your homepage and reboot it again, it changes back to About Blank. -
Nothing interesting about mine. I like to start with a blank screen everyday, and then choose where to go.
My home page address is:
about:blank
Isn't About Blank a homepage hijacker??
When you use a blank page as your homepage it's supposed to read "Blank Page" and not About Blank. There are tons of listing about this. Just google "about blank and you'll see what I mean.

Problem solved.
It's the hosts file blocking it. Just been away and renamed hosts file, and I can now see Tylers pictures.
Is there anything I can do from my end so you don't have to keep renaming the hosts files, or is that a permanent fix?

Here's my homepage I made at the zone from the ground up! No quick set-ups.

'horses: Go to IE Tools - Internet options - Advanced. Then check option "Allow installation of files, even signature is not valid". < I don't know the exact English description of the option, because i don't got English OS.
OK CeeCee I checked the option box to allow installation even if signature is not valid.
Now I'll go try it and come back here and let you and hazelNut know what happened.
Edit: It worked!
Checking that options 'allow installation even if signature is not valid' did the trick. After I clicked "Run" and it installed beautifully.
Thanks CeeCee and you too HazelNut.
HazelNut, let me know if when you figure out the Zone issue. I'm curious how that turns out.

It's your decision, if you want to install it or not. It's not an error of any kind, it's just a security warning. You can just ignore it.
How do I ignore it? I clicked "OK" and nothing happened.

You have to use proxy for that wtv-zone Web site. I have to do it also. Don't know why that site doesn't work without proxy for us.
I you want, i can tell you how to enable proxy only for that site and NOT use proxy globally.

runawayhorses: It's just a security warning, because the publisher of the file is unknown. If you think that the file is trusted, you can just hit OK to download and install it.
Btw, you can resize/resample pictures with IrfanView also.
I clicked "OK" but then the warning disappeared and nothing happened. It just abandoned the whole process. Do you think I should save it to program files and install it from there? The first time I clicked"Run" instead of "Save".
-
That is strange as that's the "official" site for the download.
I take it this was before it got to your desktop the warning, have you tried again?
Also when you get a minute, can you go to the top google link on this page and see if there's any info about your wtv site being blocked.
Yes, it was before it made it to the desktop, it happened right after it finished downloading it. I had clicked 'Run' instead of 'Save'. Maybe I should try saving it?
I went to the google search link and it took me to an old wtv-zone forum post. I copied it and pasted it below. I'm not too familiar what she's talking about but maybe you can make some sense of it and tell me what it means.
Thanks

Does your friend get an error message, or do the pages just not load?
If they get the "not authorized" error message, it's because their IP number is blocked for some reason.
If it's a load issue, then it's something with their USP, or their pathway to the Zone servers.
Please write me directly at the Help Zone with some more details..

Not really very funny runaway, but I am afraid i cannot see your image, what does it say?
It's a Internet Explorer Security Warning. It says "Windows has found a problem with this File"

I just tried to download this powertoy image resizer ms image resizer powertoy. But I got this error message. Does anyone know why? I'd like to have this resizer if I can get it.

Anyone else looking forward to the new batman movie?
They have just released a teaser for it:
Personally I think this movie is going to be fantastic. Batman Begins I thought was surprisingly good(because it was dark like the comics) especially considering how bad most of the other batmans were(tim burtons movies I thought were ok).
The joker has always been my favorite villain and I look forward to seeing him done as being truely evil and dark. I loved Jack Nicholsons joker too but I think he missed the opportunity to make him even more crazy and evil.
Yes I am! I can't wait till it comes out. Should be a good one! I can't imagine anyone not liking all the batman movies, with the exception of one person here who doesn't seem to like too much of anything.
Yeah, I liked Jack Nicholson as the joker too. Batman is like superman in many ways, very normal and good looking guy, but with super powers! That's the way it should be. Yep, should be a good movie.

You could always draw him a stick figure one in MS Paint for free.
'Andavari won't draw it because he doesn't like MS Paint. He doesn't like jpg or gifs either. He also doesn't like Image Shack, and if I remember correctly, he also doesn't like posters images to load too slow either, it annoys him and he'll block it. What else don't you like 'Andavari, Me?
Have a nice evening, Tyler

Just for stuff on your pc Tyler, but worth having.
Cool, thanks

If you want to change your horses, have a look here:
Wow! he's really good! Cost money for his pics though
I might just keep the one I have since I managed to get the bytes down on it now. I don't know how it did it so good but, maybe now it will load better for everyone. I hope so.

I've just checked in My Pictures folders Hazel, and I was really hard pushed to find a photo/pic bigger than 1.5mb. I managed to, and it took a couple of seconds to resize a 2.29mb image to 97kb (still 1024X768) using ms image resizer powertoy.
I even resized it in the explorer window just before uploading it, and being only 97kb it went up really fast. This is the best resizer I've seen, as it's integrated into your right click menu. And it makes a resized copy, doesn't touch the original.
Sounds like a tool I could use. When you right click on an image 'online', does it have an option of which format to save the pic in..i.e. gif, jpg? Or is it just for pics already on your pc?
Thanks for sharing the link.

I got 8MB ADSL, so it's quite fast.
Well most of the time your avatar loads just fine. Couple of times have noticed it to load slower. Don't know why.
Hey check it out, I got my avatar down to 2496 bytes now. Big drop from 19840 bytes. What I did was this morning in an attempt to drop the bytes, I uploaded the full size picture (instead of resizing it myself) and let Piriform do the resizing and adjustments for me automatically. It made a big difference in the bytes. Have any idea why? I have no clue, but I'm glad it did it.

I like http://xs.to.
I don't like ImageShack.us, it's overly used and sometimes considerably slows down page loading due to it being so widely used which is why I switched to http://xs.to some time ago, hmm even the ImageShack.us main page takes ages to load.
I usually just use image shack to store pics, and I use the zone for hot-linking and I built my own homepage there. Actually, most of my pics I store on a disk.

It's only 19840 bytes. I don't know, heck, maybe I'll make another one in gif format this time, or just get another one all together.

That's Great!! LOL

Your avatar sometimes loads slower than others. Maybe i block it.
No fence.LOL, maybe you should get high-speed instead of dial-up!.
-
I've did that!
As well as some of the images in some signatures that I deem too big and a waste of time to load each time I visit the forums!
The secrets out! Now everyone knows why I can't see your avatar!!LOL
Just kidding, I can see it fine

IE7 Pro comes with an in line spell checker. There is no "pro version" of IE7. IE7 Pro is an addon for IE7 that includes a in line spell checker as well as many other features .
As far as IE Spell. No components are are lost/deleted/damaged. It works flawless every were else but here. This is on several computers. It's not just IE Spell either it's other browsers spell checkers as well the mess up here.
Oh OK I didn't know IE7 Pro was an add-on, that's the first I've heard of it. I'm a little weary of adding things to my IE anyway, mostly because its doing everything I really want it to do right now, and I don't want to add anything that might make it run slower or encounter any problems. Actually, the only add-on I have is the spell-checker. I'm kinda that way about my PC in general, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
About your spell-checker problem, If this site is the only place where you experience this problem then why is it working for most everyone else? That's the question to ask. I think the simple fact that it works for 'most' everyone else, pretty much eliminates the idea that it's a site issue. I think the only way you're going to figure this out is by narrowing this down to when it started happening, what browsers are doing what right and what wrong with your machine and other peoples machines..ect.

Hi guys
I would like some information and advice on free image hosting services.
All helpful advice is greatly appreciated
Hi, The links below are my favorite image hosts. The images at both hosts are hot-linkable, or 'remote' linkable which is a real plus for posting pics. It's a user friendly host too.
The paid host link below (wtv-zone) is my all-time favorite though. I've been a member their for several years now. They are a fully functional web host. You can use it for building a homepage or a huge website, or just for storing pictures or music files..ect It's also very much like a family there. Everyone is really nice and they have a forum as well.

I have been using IE Spell for several years now. It only messes up on this forum. Same for the problems with the other browsers.
I thought there was a spell checker that came with the pro version of IE7.
I've had my spell-checker for about 4 months now I guess. It's been good so far. Maybe you need to uninstall it and install it again. Could be you lost some components of it along the way. Some cleaning programs can do that.
I had it once and it took a spyware program

That's what I'm saying, in your case it should be "Blank Page" in both address and tab bars in IE.
I know you don't want to hear it, but you've been highjacked. Look it up! I've been through it!
