Byte Size Problem – Problems with Showing Pictures in Gmail, Internet Explorer’s Fault

In a newsletter Sarah and I sent for Nordic eCommerce Summit, we had some problems showing pictures in Gmail on Internet Explorer while proofreading the letter.

With this particular problem, all the pictures look as if they’re being blocked, even though you’ve downloaded them. This is happening because of limited internet settings; you fix this through your web browser … here’s how:

It could be a little added protection on Internet Explorer’s part, Redmond likes to keep you safe from some of this evil content. So instead of checking “enable”, you can check “prompt” –- this means that IE will ask you for permission to gobble up those dangerous kb’s instead of idle covetousness.

Hope this solves your IE-Gmail woes! Comment if it doesn’t, our online tech support will be right on it!
