Title: Missing Homepage Buttons - a solution...
Post by Nick_H on Aug 12^th, 2005, 5:04pm

Hi all,

I know a lot of users have trouble with this, mainly down to firewall/ad-blocking software.

I have had the missing buttons problem on my system, so I thought I'd look into it. This is a guide to a fix on Norton Personal Firewall (2003) - hopefully users of other firewall software might use this as a guide to sorting the problem on their machines...

1.) In NPF main screen, click the 'Options' button.
2.) Click the Web Content tab.
3.) Add the site 'www.fordscorpio.co.uk' to the list on the left.
4.) Select it from the list, then click 'Ad Blocking' tab.
5.) Click the Add button to customize the "Ad Block list".
6.) Enter the text "_derived" (but without the quotes) and click the Permit blob (radio button, if you webbies prefer).
7.) Click OK as many times as necessary to leave NPF Options.
8.) Go to www.fordscorpio.co.uk in your browser and do a "hard" page refresh to re-load the page from the web server.

For those without Norton, try to find where your ad-blocking software keeps its 'exclude' settings and force it to enable anything under www.fordscorpio.co.uk with "_derived" in the URL.

All being well, you should now see the elusive buttons.

[] And...
Doing this shold not be an security issue, ive found forums like this to be quite safe from virus & Spyware...

Some firewalls are werry paranoid, blocing EWERYTHING...

But, ofcourse DONT TURN OF THE FIREWALL completly, {} just to get this buttons..! (they ar`nt that nice.) :P

;D ;D - eventually got round to looking at this. Running Norton 2005, not exactly as as above, but got there in the end.

Go to

Norton Anti Spam
Ad Blocking
Configue
Advanced

then
from 3) above.

Thanks for advice, I've limited computer skills, but got there in the end.
Lots more to read now 8)
