simonp Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Some times (more often than not )i cannot see pictures hat other PW members have posted.All i get is a small box with a red cross in it Other times i can see the picture clearly What am i doing Its one of three things, 1) Your connection is unable to find the host on which the linked pictures are stored (could be name resolution issues etc), 2) The images have been subsequantly moved from their hosting site and the link the poster used is now invalid, hence the image cannot be displayed (or the host server may be down) 3) the poster messed it up while posting and got the link to the images wrong. Basically, you're not doing anything wrong. Sometimes its frustrating, especially if its hard to track down, but fundamentally, its not you Oh and this is my first post HELLO Si.

SNAKEBITE Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I get it quite often at work where the filter bans any "naughty" sites that the pictures may be connected to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
