Hello all. Just wanted to share a problem I had, in case you ever have a student with the issue. I had installed a Cascading Stylesheet into Firefox 2.0 which blocked images it thought were ads (based on size and URL, I think). The particular CSS was from http://www.gozer.org/mozilla/ad_blocking/

The problem is that the CSS blocked some small PNG images in WebWork, such as "x+y=0" or "t=2". Somehow, the problem did not appear immediately, so it took me awhile to make the connection.

I suppose it is a rare issue, but now you know. -Dennis
