I tried all that but nothing works while I am on firefox--cannot even view emoticons...but just discovered all the images are there when i am on aol....
but in general etrain is much faster on firefox, prefer that...

angell, the trouble may be on your firefox settings then. you may have certain features turned off, thus you can't see some of the graphics. i'm not sure what version of firefox you have on, but try clicking on the Edit Menu and then Preferences. that should open your firefox options and modify as you see fit.
