Question RED X In Pictures WTF Over

I have tried everything and can not get the red X out so I can see pics in the posts. I have three computers and one sees all fine and they all have the same settings, that I can find. Does anyone have a clue as to how to view without the red X???

Thanks

Your computer has been banned from seeing pics. Sorry.

Since you say you can view the pics just fine on one of them, that means it's not a "forum" issue. So, you have a setting on your computer somewhere that isn't right.

Are the computers that can see the pics, and computers that can't see the pics in the same location? On the same network?

The red x means that image is being blocked from displaying. This could be a firewall issue.

As an example: Your computer at home sees the pics just fine. But you go go work and your work computer displays the red x. More than likely your work place firewall is blocking the picture hosting site.

If everybody was getting the red x, then the issue could be with the person posting the pic.

Sorry, that's the best I can come up with since we don't know all the details.

I had this also at one time. I goggled the Red X and there is all kinds of explanations.
Most are settings changes that may help. http://askbobrankin.com/red_x_appear..._of_image.html

Usually, you can right click on the blank area and choose "show picture" in the window that pops up, and it will load the picture. It is a function of the firewall security or phishing filters.

Well after much searching and checking things, yep my buddy in IT told me pics are blocked via the firewall settings. NOW THAT SUCKS!!! I guess I will have to do more work now!
