No News Is Good News...

More often than not lately, the ATSNN section at the top of ATS Main shows only black 'image linking not allowed' pics from www.abovetopsecret.com... .

Is this a browser compatibility thing not being seen by admin or work in progress? Running IE 6 on 1024x768 high color here.

NO I believe some Image linking has been disabled by SO due to a very nasty Windows vulnerability.

It might be because your browser or firewall isn't set up to allow header data to be sent to ATS to indentify the page you're on so images.abovetopsecret.com blocks the request for....images. SkepticOverlord posted about it in another thread.

About .02% of users encounter this problem.

Here's a thread posted on this before: Remote image linking no longer allowed

I'm not sure if that's what's causing the problem you're experiencing, since it appears from your post that it's only ATSNN, which seems a bit odd since if your browser isn't sending the data, it would effect all ATS pages.
