Trouble with photos

Hi, this is probably a ridiculous question, but...

 

I'm having problems viewing about 80% of the images posted on various threads. Where there should be big, beautiful images of Pathys, I get a box with a small red "x" in the upper corner. I'm using a 6mo-old Dell inspiron 1501 with Windows XP Pro. I'm guessing I need a software download of some kind... does anyone have any idea which one? :puterpunch:

 

Thanks for any info!

most of the pics are hosted on sites such as photobucket. if the poster moves or deletes the pic from photobucket (or other online carrier) then the pic will either show up as described or it will say "this photo no longer available"

That happens to me sometimes too. Right click on the 'x' and go to show picture. Mine is so bad sometimes I'll right click on it and press 'H' on the keyboard, and go thru all of the pictures like that. Usually works.

At work Photobucket is blocked and I get a bunch of red x's. If your at work it might be IT restrictions

yup.. many pic hosts are blocked for me too as well as u tube and all sorts of other sites. kinda sucks but they haven't blocked me off of any of my forums... for now.

Wow, thanks! :jig:

 

MZ I use Internet Explorer; Dag, work doesn't block anything; and Slick, there is a big empty box with a red "x" next to your link for Slick's Pics.

 

I'll try right-clicking on some things and see if that works.

what version of IE? maybe you're blocking photobucket. check your settings in tools pull down, internet settings.

 

 

I have all my filters for content and addresses disabled already. Ya know, for porn! /sarc
