I found the problem! ...and the solution!!!

Damn, guys... the curse of being a hardcore techie is knowing that no problem can exist without an explanation or a solution.

Worked on this issue last night...far into the night.

Here's the reason that Norton IS (with ad blocking) hides the camera icon...

If Norton's Ad Blocking is enabled, it uses an internal default table of potential ad paths and removes any IMG tag'ed graphics that are hosted in directories named 'ads', 'adverts', 'affiliate', etc...

It also blocks graphics that are of the standard banner ad size.

It turns out that 'banner' is in that list of URL/path no-no's.

On ClubCobra, The Camera icon's file source is...

hxxp://www.clubcobra.com/banner/camera.gif

...that's why the icons are blocked when the Ad Blocking feature of NIS is turned on... the path contains the word 'banner'!

Brent can change the directory name of these graphics, adjust the page code and the problem should be solved!

...whew.
