For some reason Avast is suddenly blocking images on Tumblr. This is a new development, and we’ve narrowed it down to Avast as the culprit, on account of the fact that the images will load when Avast’s web shield is turned off. When Avast is turned on, images will time out and give the broken image sign. It only does it when I’m on Tumblr.
I do regular upgrades, I have the free version, and it’s not the browser.
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this. I’d hate to get rid of Avast or forget to turn it back on while on the web (it’s saved my computer a few times).
It happens the same to me, I talked to tumblr support and we checked everything, and it’s just with Google Chrome, IE and Firefox works just fine and the one bocking it is avast, I tried making an exception for tumblr.com and http://tumblr.com/* in Options>General>Exclusions Urls tab and Options>Active Protection>WebShield but the problem persists.
Are you running any other blocking software ? Are you allowing the Webshield access through your firewall ?
I’m using Chrome and Avast free but have no problems with Tumblr:
