Right, but if they recently updated some sort of blacklist for their blocking apps, that could be the cause, and would also explain why several people saw it start happening around the same time on their work systems.

I’ve tested it now in every combination of browser and Win XP and Win 7, and I just can’t duplicate it - I also tried installing AdBlock to see if that was the cause and it still works fine here.

That what’s vexing me; maybe our Barracuda blacklist did get updated at about the same time you added the Getty functionality, because that’s when my issues started, but I don’t know. I can’t exactly go to my IT folks about this, because some personal goofing-off on the internets is tolerated as long as it doesn’t affect our work or our network, but the less scrutiny I get from them on this stuff, the better.

It’s a hell of a coincidence, though.
