    sorry

    I’ve noticed this problem too, and so have a lot of other people. Internet Destroyer apparently chokes on some odd set of images. I’m trying to figure out which ones. I’ve seen complaints about .jpg, .gif, and .png. In my case, I’ve noticed that thickbox’s animation.gif and its tb_close.png don’t work but other gif’s and png’s on the site work just fine. No such problems in Firefox, Flock, Opera, Safari or Chrome. Welcome to IE8. Its a brave new world– well, not so brave and not so new either. I don’t have a fix right now. I’ve seen rumors of needing to send IE7 compatible headers. I hope someone has something better.

    derbals, You have a few missing closing tags: [Invalid]Markup Validation of https://freecreationonline.org/ – W3C Markup Validator but nothing that should stop images from loading. Be sure your copy of IE doesn’t have strange settings to prevent images from downloading. Ask the theme author, too.

    Might even try to force IE7 compatibility mode with <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> in your header.php, above wp_head.

    apljdi, If you’re working with thickbox, start a new thread. One fix for Thickbox is to be sure the full URL of the animation.gif and tb_close.gif are entered near the top of thickbox.js:

    var tb_pathToImage = "https://mydomain.com/public_html/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif";
var tb_closeImage = "https://mydomain.com/public_html/wp-includes/js/thickbox/;"

    Might even try to force IE7 compatibility mode with <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ /> in your header.php, above wp_head.

    That gets the images back but blows the layout. Big surprise. Interestingly, after I load the page with that http-equiv I can delete it and the images still load even after deleting the cache.

    As for thickbox, that was mostly just noting the images I’m having trouble with, not trying to redirect the thread. I’ll try your suggestions though.

    No problem. I’m remembering more now that the thickbox fix might only have to do with Safari….

    The mysteries of IE seem never ending. Maybe validate the page with the EmulateIE7 tag and see if the layout is easily fixable?
