That could be why. Jk

The same thing happens to me i get the little blue question mark. i just deal because i didnt think there was any way to fix it unless i switch browsers which im not gonna do (safari is good) but it would be awsome if someone new how to fix it.

Can you see them in Internet Explorer?

Angry Dad,
Post a link of where you don't get the photos from. It could be from many reasons. ex. server problems (the place the photo is at).
I use firefox and it usually displays all photos but once in a while I have to hit f5 to refresh to get a particular photo to show (most likely because of lag).

If you get red X's it probably means the hosting server is down. This site works fine with Firefox!

the_incubus,
If using Firefox; Hold down the <Shift> key and click the Reload button to force a fresh reload of the page. Then the photo should show up.

Here is a link to help you with Firefox
Images or Animations do not load

You're looking at a page that's a year old. The image linked to was probably deleted a long time ago.

Edit: I just noticed there's a photo of my own on that page that doesn't show up any more. That's because I moved things around on my server recently and the photo doesn't exist at the location I linked to any more.

The year-old photo didn't show up for me either. Then I viewed it's server info, pulled up the photo directly, and returned to the thread. That's when the photo finally popped up. I'm using IE 6 on Win XP. Sometimes photos don't show up no matter how many times I refresh. If I really want to see the photo, I have to pull up the photo directly.

I notice this problem here more than other sites. HOWEVER! Seeing the photographs is much more important for me here than other sites. So maybe I'm just noticing it here more often rather than it being directly associated with this site.

I actaully did view the pictures in that link, it worked out fine. Then I picked a random post and cannot view the photos. HEres the link to what I tried...

Hey thanks for trying to help me. Ive come to the conclusion its the Communistic government of the Peoples Republic of China. They block alot of sites for me, making things hard.
