I have filters set to block sexually oriented web sites, which appears to work. But if I click on images in yahoo, those still come through. How do I filter those as well?

  You cannot block images with OpenDNS, just domains where images are hosted on.  You right-click such images to see from the properties what domain they are hosted on and either block the related category or the individual domain.

  After a quick check it seems that Yahoo's pictures are mainly hosted on:

    hsrd.yahoo.com
    s.yimg.com
    l.yimg.com
    l1.yimg.com
    l2.yimg.com
    l3.yimg.com
    d.yimg.com

  Because these are almost aliases of other DNS names, you may be able to cover all by adding just hsrd.yahoo.com and gycs.b.yahoodns.net to your "always block" list.  Most pictures should disappear or should be broken then, if this is what you want and what you like - it looks terrible!
