Can Not View Benchmark Test Images on AnandTech Site

Hello,
Can anyone advise as to what I am missing? The "benchmark test" images on AnandTech's site only have the words "click to enlarge", and I am unable to view the images nor click them to enlarge.
I have ZoneAlarm and have given all necessary permissions for the site, including accepting 3rd party cookies.
On both IE and FireFox, cookies and Java, enabled; Active-X enabled as well.
I am relatively new to computing, this being my first build, and I can not figure out why both browsers are not allowing the images to download.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks. CRussell
 
I thought the reasons for this were determined in the past and it dealt with the images being hosted in a different way or on a separate server or subdomain or something and the way they were being retrieved didn't work for some as a result. I don't remember now =\

Perhaps someone with the patience to use the search feature can take a look.
 
Most likely security settings for your browser... either keeping javascript from being used or preventing a redirection.

BTW... this is a technical support forum. You should really be emailing the webmaster if the problem only occurs on Anandtech.
 
I have this problem too and haven't been able to figure it out. It doesn't work on my laptop but it works on my desktop. Both computers are using the same settings and software.
 
I too am having this problem. I recently rebuilt my system and did not have this problem although I am using the same software I was using before. If I turn of my firewall, I have no problems with the images. I've tried different settings on the firewall with no luck

The firewall was the problem for me too! I'm using Symantec Client Firewall. I disabled the Privacy Control in it and the images are showing up now. Thanks!
