DSLRing at work

[mozzie]

Hi

Lately I've had some down time at work and I find my self on the forum (yes I know I probably shouldn't be). Anyways I am not sure why but often I cant see the photos that people have put up (which as you can imagine is REALLY annoying). I am not sure why though because I can see some photos and cant see others.

the only thing I can think of is that work has a filter on certain sites such as Flikr and facebook? other than that i am stumped

any ideas?

That's what it is... I can see flickr, but can't see smugmug, facebook etc.

very annoying... then I have to remember to look back in the evening at home (where I'm not censored YET)

mozzie... yes indeed filters on site url might be causing the interference... similiarly they might be filtering on object type (i.e. maybe you can see png but not jpg?) also they might be filtering on object size, so maybe you can't see some of the larger images (bytes size that is). Lotsa ways that filtering can be setup... also it might just be that they have implemented a 'choke' on inward bound traffic and it would then drop what it considers to be lower priority data to prevent it from swamping the network.
