Hi I've been having this problem for a couple of months now, I posted a thread about it a while back in tech support but the solution didn't work for me because of the way I use firefox ( I always have 20-30 tabs open, I don't restart firefox often) The problem is that images don't show up on the BT front page or any of the articles. I get a link to the image which, when clicked, gives me a "400 bad request" error. This problem started when U upgraded to FF3, I was hoping it would get patched out but that hasn't happened, BT is the only site I have this problem on. I use ad blocker but BT is green listed and the problem remains even if I disable ad blocker. Do any of the BT team have any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem, I know I'm not the only person having it but at the same time not everyone has it. Any ideas much appreciated.

As above, I have the same issue. The temporary solution of setting firefox to load a blank page on restart solves it for a week or so, then the problem reoccurs. As with Moriquendi, this only happens on bit-tech. No adblock software running here.
Not to tread on Jamie's toes, but what FF extensions have you got installed? 400 bad request means the server couldn't understand the request your browser sent, which sort of points to the problem being, perhaps, at your end. Install http fox (another FF extension) and post the request headers for one of the image requests. It may reveal the problem. Also post a list of extensions. Or try disabling them one by one til the images return?
Thanks Rich. Please do this and then I might be able to help. I suspect it might be that our nginx server might have a lower max header size than apache.
With no extensions installed the problem still occurs. Here's an extract from httpfox for tims picture on the About page.

Confirmed to be a bug on my fresh install of Firefox if I open up a load of threads in the forums to fill up the header. I shall look into changing the header size in nginx.
Cookies are a great invention. What sucks is when developers use them badly, like vbulletin and openx do.
Thanks for the quick responses, it seems you know what might be causing the problem but I have no idea what you're talking about Is the reason I'm having this problem down to me never closing FF so that the header gets huge where other peoples doesn't? Moriquendi
The setting was changed on the server yesterday evening. Please let us know if you are still having problems.
