Why don't pictures show when I visit websites?

Just because it says http://127.0.0.1:1026/bug.cgi doesn't necessarily mean there's a virus/spyware on your comp. I was getting this for some of the sites and it turns out it's because ZoneAlarm was set to disable web bugs under Cookie Control. So if you have ZoneAlarm or an ad/cookie blocker, see if there's an option disabling web bugs.

I am curious as to why eBay has so many of these web bugs. These web bugs are suppose to be like cookies. And when I disable them the site looks all jumbled.

I have broadband ADSL and can always download all the images on a certain site perfectly OK. But my friend has 56Kb modem access and can always only download about half of them, the last half always coming up as red crosses. What can be the reason for this?

hi I have a myspace and one of my pictures doesn't show up it just has a red x, but with my other pictures they do show up. I found that when I am logged on the picture shows up but if I am logged out the picture doesn't show up. I have found that there is a problem with the url. How can I change it?

had the same thing on a site ( http://127.0.0.1:1072/bug.cgi )....but also had a piece of javascript added to the bottom...

Looked as though it was only on the homepage and it was continually trying to refresh.

I got the guy to check the site and it looks as though someone has gained access somehow and has changed the homepage (last updated this wednesday and the guy has been nowhere near it).

Hope it's not a php exploit with the forum and someone now has root access to do as they please....but from the sounds of things it's not malitious, or is it? :-S

how do I get an image from my computer that dosent have an http// adress on to my page

i had the same problem at some sites.i'm using norton internet security and turning it off just worked for me...no red Xes anymore...also erasing your temp.int. files might help...

I am currently using FireFox browser. When i go o my site it shows the icon not the red x thing but the second one you had show(the one that looks like a piece of paper with some shapes in it) But is cut in half. When i use internet Explorer it shows the red X's

I READ THE ARTICLE lol

i still dont get what i should do

PLease help

Well, it's basically the same story as for IE users. You say this is your site? Can others see it ok? Especially if not, my guess is that the links to the images are incorrect as outlined in the article.

If you have firewall software it is probably blocking the pics. Just allow web bugs for ebay.

I do not see my problem addressed here. A couple of days ago all of the pics I posted from albums stored in MSN Groups either post as RED X or quickly turn RED X on my main PC. They still show correctly on my laptop and others in my group tell me they can still see them, so I know they are posting. Any idea why I cannot see them on my main PC? I would greatly appriciate any help. My sincere thanks.
