So, it sounds like it is a problem with IE and Vbulletin. If so, my apologies to SMC.
This had caused another issue but not as serious... When viewing pics, I can see the preview thumbnails just fine. When I click on them to see them "bigger", the don't "load". I have to hit NEXT through all the pics, then they appear. Or, when I first click on them, and it is trying to load, but won't, I can click on that pic and I will see the full size image of it...but then have to hit the back button to get back to the thread, and then have to go through all of that to see the next pic.
