Hi folks, I'm not sure what the problem is but i have a normalish broadband setup. The line comes in and is split. The phone line and broandand wireless.

I use a filter to allow both to be used at once.

The problem is that when I visit Yo! the web page never downloads 100%, there are always icons missing etc.

This is not an issue from other computers in work etc which display the pages perfectly.

Hi Kev,
It might just be your connection! The further away you are from the nearest exchange can,and does, affect your signal definition! My own signal is made worse by having a phone-point, cable extension, so my ISP home page never completes fully, which is why I keep promising myself to switch to Virgin,as they are the only provider to use fibre optics,with no phone exchange needed, giving a much better signal!

Check your cache in IE or Firefox browser. The cache can often become full and sacrifices pictures etc. Default is usually about 50MB, Just increase it or empty the cache.

In firefox its under tools>options>advanced>network

In IE7 its Tools>Internet options>General>Browsing History.settings button
