web filter- only text on websites?

vintagecar · 10-20-2011, 12:22 PM

on main websites such as yahoo and msn, only text shows up on the left side of the screen, it is not formatted properly, and no images appear. If you add the user's IP address to the web filter pass list it displays fine. We can add everyone to the pass list, what would be the point of even having web filtering?
Tried this with mozilla, chrome and IE8... all of them had the same results.

check the Event Log when you go to yahoo - do you see a bunch of blocks, probably yimg.com?
you need to pass list that.

many sites use other url's for content, facebook does the same, so logs will show you t he other sites and you can simply allow those instead of allowing through the entire category.
