With each of the members in the forum seeing different things in the icon boxes I wondered if the problem might be with the source website and not the users accessing it.

</p><p>This could be a problem with a location redirect from <a href="https://spurs-web.com" rel="nofollow">https://spurs-web.com</a> to <a href="https://www.spurs-web.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.spurs-web.com</a> where using the www. prefix isn't consistent.
So maybe contact the website and ask them to look into this.

</p><p>Some people report boxes with numbers and letters in the top right corner and elsewhere wheras some just see a box with a cross in it.

Thank you for replying. I have already made sure that the setting is for that is correct on my PC. I have just discovered that I use a certain forum on the internet and every member of it is experiencing the same problem so maybe it's more to do with the site settings rather than my PC.
</p><p>It's only on a few websites it happens so that would suggest maybe the answer lies with the website owner rather than my computer settings.
</p><p>I'll keep digging but thanks for the suggestion.
