I wouldn't use ZA with a webserver it will cause random crashes and all sorts of anomolies.

I use Sygate on my dev box here and am very happy with it its uptime is 24/7 with very rare reboots from software updates.

I use the latest ZONE ALARM PRO on here, I rate it very high, best software firewall you get can imo. Check your privacy tab in ZA, go to ad blocking, I only block pop-up/pop-under, maybe you are blocking animation (makes gifs 1 frame) and banner/skyscraper ads? I have cookie control on medium, and main firewall set to medium too, set too high only when I want full stealth on all ports.

Other than that, I doubt its ZA causing the images to break, have you tried turning it off then viewing your site?

When viewing southerns website the other day, I noticed every single image on hes site was broken, I also set hes hack alert off just by viewing hes index.php, in the end we find out it was all down to one bad line in hes htaccess.

Code:

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ /hackattempt.php/ [R,NC]

I just checked your website, every image I tried to go to was a 404, so I think your image directory is in the wrong place for whatever reason or the images are just not uploaded. If you right click one of your pictures and click properties, you will see where it is trying to link to, make sure the image is in that place on your server.

did you try when your ZA closed Ganja ? my all images are in public_html/images folder except theme images both in my pc /server.If they sould in a wrong place or not uploaded could i see them all normal when my za closed ?

I turned ZA to low (off) and the images are still broke.

Actually, looking at it again I think its probably your host, your on yahoo? Some providers try to send you a cookie just to be able to see the images, so the images will probably all show up if you allow all cookies on IE and ZA. I just allowed all cookies on ZA+IE and refresh your page and the header image shows up now.

my cookies set to allow all on IE and i already add my site for accpet cookies from my site Sad

Maybe the "image cookie" is third party domain? Like ie blocks a cookie here for Ganja's siggy image. Because its not from this domain.

Posted: Sun May 09, 2004 4:27 pm

Yeah, because when I try to access one of the images, it directs to yahoo.com, so you need to allow that domain.
But in ZA to test at least, go to the privacy tab, set cookie control to OFF, and refresh your page, images should all load fine. They did for me.

thanks Sixone & Ganja for help me

it solved finally woohoooooooooo

in third party cookies box i remove the tick near ''remove private header information '' and i can see my site images works when ZA active Razz

i dont have any idea what private header information means and why it dont works for my site is it a good or bad thing Rolling Eyes

now my attending problem is;

which its for all nuke sites ( when my ZA not active) if i logged in as member to any nuke site already or if i logged in my site as God admin ;for example here i type a reply hit submit and it takes me to my post but if i activete my ZA before anytime i hit submit it takes me to login page.in my site for example ( when my ZA not active) i have a last referrers block i hit delete referrers and it takes me to admin.php and all referrers delete auto and i go back my index page as admin but if activate ZA and hit delete referrers it takes me to system admin login page or if i go my index page site info block says welcome guest .
sorry i know my english terrible as much as my nuke knowledge Embarassed

Sometimes I have had trouble staying logged into certain nuke sites. Normally works when you allow all cookies via ZA and come back later with cookies on medium block and you can stay logged in again.
