Thanks in advance

What machine are you using? Also what OS have you currently got installed and lastly what browser are you using?

I use iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.6. I use mainly firefox but the problem is in all the other browsers, and even when I use Parallels Windows 7 I get the same problem.
In Amazon i have problem shopping because pictures are not displayed, yahoo answers also, facebook and others. I have attached a screenshot.

Is your browser also taking a long time to load pages?
It could be a bandwidth or router problem.

no, loading page speed is good.

Buzzard2010 great idea!
I used my VPN solution and it displays just fine!
but I am not sure which connection to use normally. I think I had the ethernet choice before but now is not connected and the fields are missing...

How do you usually connect to the router? Via Ethernet or Airport?

It sounds like somebody is playing a practical joke with you and has turned off image downloads and page styling in all browsers.

Look up turn off CSS and display images for the effected browsers on Google to find out how to bring the web back.

Or ask the joker to undo his or her prank if you can guess who did it.

Ethernet. Now my VPN solution doesn't work because I changed something again..

Did you ever get a solution on this? I'm having the same problem, with random website, multiple browsers. Running an Imac 10.5.8, issue with firefox and safari. Don't have the issue if I'm running a virtual desktop citrix at the office. Only seems to happen with certain sites (displays text only and no formatting), currently an issue with Monster.com and Amex. Don't have the same issue with the wife's Macbook on the same wireless network and ISP. Working on a wireless network, connecting with the airport to Cisco router. Never had this issue before a couple weeks ago, not sure what has been updated between now and then.

Crap...I just posted about this....lol, in the wrong section. I'm new here.


I have the same problem. It is very annoying. My friend says it has to do with how the CSS coding is on certain websites.


Some sites wont even load on my imac. My buddy says its a firewall issue.

I also have a Cisco router. I think i am going to try to plug directly into the modem and see if that fixes it. don't know why i haven't tried that yet.

I just removed Peer Guardian and problem solved!

Doesn't seem to be peer guardian for me, I have the same problem on my Ipad, but I don't have the problem on the wife's macbook...I'm stumped.

OK, I removed Peer Guardian, deleted all browser history, cache, etc, restarted firefox and now all the sites work. This seems to be a shotgun approach and I don't get the logic but...
