277100 2004-09-30 08:22:00 XP Pro, SP2,
I'm a keen fisherman that uses the "fishing.net.nz" forums
www.fishing.net.nz
Now some people post picures that I can see, no problem, but for other pictures, all I see is a red square, saying image, but no picture. Others can see these pictures, but not me. This was happening pre-SP2.
What's preventing me from seeing those pictures but others can see them and how do I change my settings to see them?

277101 2004-09-30 08:26:00 Links to a couple of the pictures in question would be useful.

Potentially they are images that are outdated and the links are no longer valid, other users may be seeing cached versions from their own cache or that of their ISP.

Pictures Are Not Displayed on Web Sites in Internet Explorer

WTF - Here's a link to the thread. I can see a picture of an orange squid, but on the the next letter, the photo, I can't see.
www.fishing.net.nz

Strangely, I can see some photos (including my own postings) but not others.
Johnboy - great link. Tried the settings but still the same result.

277105 2004-09-30 10:40:00 Do we all have to register before we can view that page? :p :D

Are you sure that the photos are still on the webpage and that others can still see them when you cannot?

277106 2004-09-30 19:35:00 To the last 2 repliers:- sorry about that, you do have to register to see certain threads. That's ok if you're a keen fisho. Incidentally, it was voted in the top 10 world fishing sites. Many of NZ's top fishing professionals and a whole bunch of keen recreactional, are active on this forum.

It's still the case, Susan. Some people can see all the pictures, I can see some, but not all. Strange.

Wakey wakey...

>>> I usually use Opera, but the results are the same with IE6, Opera and Firefox.

Johnboy has a point - have you got a firewall with adblocking enabled? That will prevent small images being shown but not bigger ones.

Darn it, I'll have to sign up and see for myself. :D
