Whenever someone posts a game or a tactical problem to figure out on the forum I can never see it.  It's just a red circle that is obviously showing me that something should be loading up, nothing ever does though.  Do I have to adjust my cookies or dL a program to see it?

 -Edit-

 

Fixed!  So, here is the thing, I am running IE with windows defender and my security is set to medium.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I ended up having to go in and manually add chess.com as a "trusted site" in order to see the java script chess problems.  So if you have the same problem that I did with the red loading circle never loading anything up here is what you do: Open IE (internet explorer), select Tools, Internet Options, Security (tab), Sites (button), and then manually type in the address of the site (http://www.chess.com).

what OS and browser are you using?

Regular old windows explorer on XP.

then you must have javascript disabled or something. go to options or tools or something to enable javascript.

Yeah I know Chess.com does work properly with Internet Explorer on XP (but I use Firefox myself).. javascript being disabled sounds like the only thing that could cause that, because this site does use a lot of javascript.

java is needed in most site's with games in them

If you haven't tried firefox in awhile (or have never tried it) I REALLY recommend downloading and using it.  It's sooo nice now (as usual blow IE out of the water).  I didn't really like as much last version, but this latest update has made me a firefox fan for life (and Chess.com runs perfectly in it )

Yeah, my Java is running fine.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled with no help. :(  I used to run firefox but I get tired of running things and getting errors or it having problems with other programs.  I found that just running a skeleton software setup seems to keep my comp running faster.

Well, I just installed Firefox and tried but to no avail.  Still getting the red circle.

Indemnity: Hrmm. I am really sorry to hear that. It is defintely a javascript issue. Are you able to see other chess diagrams/games on the site?

Nope.  They all give me the red loading circle. :(

it has got to be some kind of firewall/antivirus application sitting in the RAM and filtering web content. I'd say try disabling your AV/firewall for just a minute and try to load www.chess.com.

good call igor!
