Red X Help, I've had enough!

**WestKyTeacher** · 03-21-2006, 05:43 PM

OK, I need help, I can't take it anymore. There used to be a time, not too many months ago, that I could view every single picture, icon, avatar, etc. Now, there are some of these things not showing up, but only have a red x. It is very frustrating trying to open threads, excited about the topic and wanting to see the pictures only to get the red x. Can anyone tell me why this happened or how to fix it? I'm almost to the point of not returning to the forums. I mean think about it, you see the most interesting heading, you click on it, and BAM! a red x or x's. Please help.

More than likely, it's due to the poster not placing his or her image in the right category when uploading. That would explain the images hosted at the RT site any ways.

Hadnt been seeing too many red x's in new posts here lately. Good chance if you are looking at older posts though that the photos could have been deleted or moved.

WestKyTeacher, I know what you mean, it really steams my beans, but I did notice it is mostly on older post and not just this forum, I get lt on other forums.

If you view, and post at school, like I do, your district may be blocking certain sites and pics show up as red x's.

Also, I think in the past I remember something about Java script having a glitch, or it could be that you have a cookie set to block pics.

Might want to clear your cookies first to see if that helps.

Thanks for the ideas Tominator. I'll have to try some of those. It's hit or miss as to which pictures. On some posts I might see a pic or two, then some have the red x. It happens on new as well as old posts.
