White Box - Red 'X'

Dear Group:
I am not sure what I did but some of the web sites I visit have a little white box with a red 'X' where the pics should be.
I recently blocked some ports with NPF that are considered a high risk. I also blocked some class C IP ranges for deploy.akamaitechnologies.net (which may be spying on me) and that is about it.

Lol, you and your port blocking. That's your problem, you've blocked the ports through which your images are filtered, easily solved by unblocking them one by one until you find the culprit.

Dear Hooner:
I was not offended. I don't mind if you kick me now and then to keep me awake.

Hooner and John:
I did look at the Microsoft site and then checked my firewall and I did have ports blocked that images are linked to.
Like Hooner said, "Me and my port blocking":-)
