Why can't I see my own images?

When posting it is clear that people can see the images I post - but I can't see them myself. What's the problem?

Are you trying to see them from the same computer where the server is installed?

In that case you may have to modify your Hosts file.

Are you hosting the site yourself and viewing it from inside your own LAN? If this is the case, your router most likely does not support loopback addressing. On a Windows box, you'll want to look in C:/WINNT/System32/Drivers/etc/ for a file called "hosts." Open this file with Notepad and add a line at the bottom like this:

192.168.1.101 www.yoursite.com

This tells your machine that all requests for www.yoursite.com should be routed to 192.168.1.101. Substitute your server's LAN IP address and your domain name in the example above. Save the file and then see if that helps.
