Default Why??

Why can't I see pics that people put in their posts? I can see the sigs and pics in the albums, just not in the posts [:-]

Even when I right click on the red X to show picture.... It still doesn't show...
Any Ideas? Is it because they are not embedded?

Default RE: Why??

are you surfing AF from home or work? Some of teh pics show up as red-x's for me, when I surf from work, because teh link is blocked. from home I only get red-x's when teh pic-link is dead or down.

I think you also need java or active-x (I don't remember which, at the moment) enabled...

not all, but most are, I think.

if you KNEW all the different ways someone witha lotta talent & time on their hands could DO witha smple image file you wouldn't find it so strange that work blocks them.

Okay, I brought my Mac Laptop to work and I am hitting our wireless here and I can see all the pics, so it is not something that the server is blocking. It has to be Active X or something!! It just something that is not enabled on my PC.....UGH

active x is teh most common way to embed malicious code in images, which is why it's prolly disabled on your PC.
