Found your site on a google search - very useful, thanks! If you're suing the Firefox browser, you need to go to tools, options, web features - and allow "load images". a lot of sites, especially blogs, now have their images stored remotely at Flickr, so you also need to uncheck "for the originating web site only".
Best!
Posted by: Andrew Schamess at June 9, 2005 3:52 AMIf you Firefox doesn't display images, its probably because they are called from another location. Easy to fix, Tools > Options > Web Features...it will show two checkboxes, one for 'Load Images' and a sub checkbox 'for originating website only'. Make sure the 'for originating website only' is UNCHECKED and the 'Load Images' is checked. That fixed my display problems with PayPal and viewing images from all websites. >>> Jerry Decker - http://www.keelynet.com
Posted by: Jerry at June 13, 2005 1:33 AMHey there.
I've got a weird problem with pictures on my IE and Firefox. There are a bunch of times when I go to a website, or in my mailbox (WebMail thru school) where I don't see any image where I would see one with another computer. I don't even see the red X or the other icon! I've got ZoneAlarm set up, and the Windows protector thingy is also up (though I'm not sure if that's a good idea!). Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks for any/all help!
Some pictures on my computer just don't show up... They come up with an icon that shows a red square, a blue circle, and a green triangle... Not the one shown in the article either.
Posted by: Heather at June 24, 2005 4:56 PMOk, heres what i did. Go on your system and find a file called HOST, windows/system32/drivers.etc. Open it using notpad, then do a search and find com.com and delete only ones that are com.com. Then do another search for the site that is not showing picturs. Delete that site, it may be in there a couple times. After that, save the file, close your IE explorer or firefox, then reopen and goto the site. Now the pictures should be there
Posted by: tony at July 1, 2005 10:24 AMI have a problem with my images. I made a website and the images (banners/buttons) are not loading...I get the RED X. The thing is, my html code is correct, AND when I view the webpage on a mac computer the images loads fine (images and all), however when I view it on a PC, the images are red X's. I thought there was a problem with the folders, but I uploaded this other image (3 months ago) in that same folder and viewed it online (PC) and the image was fine. I'm confused...
Posted by: Mich at July 9, 2005 12:24 AMIt sounds like what happens to me when I have mixed upper and lower case filenames, and am hosting on a Linux server. Under Windows, "PiCtUrE.jPg" is the same as "picture.jpg". Under Linux (and most other operating systems, for that matter) it is not.
So that would be one thing to look into.
The other is the use of "\" versus "/" as directory separators. http://site/dir/filename.jpg and http:\\site\dir\filename.jpg may, or may not work on different systems. The correct way is to use forward-slash "/" on the internet. Backslash "\" can sometimes work, and sometimes confuse, depending on the systems and browsers involved.
Good luck!
Posted by: Leo at July 9, 2005 8:28 AMI started having this problem on msn messageboards this week right after I had to reinstall McAfee. Seems quite a few other posters on the board started having the same problem.
I had an online chat with a Mcafee technician and solved the problem. It is in the "privacy service program." When you are signed on as the Mcafee administrator, right click on the little Mcafee "M" icon on the bottom right of your screen, then go to "privacy service," then "options." Click on the "block ads" tab, then uncheck "block ads on this computer."
I did this and now can see the photos. Apparently the privacy service was reading some photos as being ads. Of course, if you start getting unwanted ads, you will have to enable the "block ads" function when you are not trying to view photos.
Posted by: Michele at July 18, 2005 9:50 PMMy issue is when I forward an e-mail, the pictures in the e-mail are only readable by half of my friends. The same e-mail sent from someone else is legible by all my friends. What is my PC or MSN (MSN e-mail) doing to the pictures? Thanks
