I know thumbnails do not show if you link the image from another site. But, on this thread I began yesterday,

http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?77016-Purple-Sanpiper

I uploaded the image from my drive and the thumbnail is not showing. CAn you tell me what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks for responding. I use Firefox and my Mac and I do not see many thumbnails (see image below.) I tried Safari and saw the thumbs.

Not being critical because I know a lot of work has gone into this forum, but I belong to other forums and do not see any difference on browsers.

Is it possible to tweak the forum software so thumbs show up on a Mac using Firefox? It is strange because as you can see on my screen shot some thumbs do show up in Firefox, just not mine. :(

It looks like you're using different vbulletin styles for each of the browsers. Scroll to the very bottom and on the left side is a drop-down box next to the language. This selects the style used. If you have one of the incompatible ones selected when browsing on your Firefox, that would do it.

The style is cookie based so the usual clearing cookies/temp files will work too.

Thanks Chris. It was the style. By switching from brownish to BP Light I now see the thumbs.
