That means one of two things.

 

1. The picture no longer exists.

 

2. There is something blocking the image. Which could be due a number of reasons including:

-firewall (especially corporate ones)

-security software (spam/ad blocker)

-browser settings (there are settings to disable images)

 

So now... a few questions.

 

Are you trying to see the images from work or at home?

 

Is it just images in posts? Can you see other images like this --> :) ?

 

What about this image?

Can you give me a link to a specific post, or posts, where you can't see the image?

Hmmm, I was able to see the smiley and the cat & rabbit. This is a link to one of the posts http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=79339

Oh and I am at home.:)

Those are all photobucket images.

 

I can't see them here at work as they are blocked by the corporate firewall. :)

 

So, since you are at home that means that either

 

a. The images no longer exist

 

or more likely

 

b. You have some security software running on your computer that is blocking photobucket

 

Maybe someone else can chime in as to whether or not they see the pictures in that thread.

 

What security software do you run?

[dmcginty]

I think the only ones we have are Avast and the usual Microsoft.

I saw them.

Oh and I forgot, we have the Bluecoat K9 because we have kids.

I can see them

I figured it out WHOO HOO! Since they were photobucket pictures I had to approve that site thru the K9 software. Thanks to everyone who helped me out. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Glad you got it fixed

I suspected something like that.

 

Glad that you got it solved.

Thank you Scott for all of your help. I would not have thought of the K9 software without it!
