ok Boffins,

I'm seeing a wee red cross in a box instead of pics, sometimes on the same site its shows me a pic but then on the next page all i get is this wee red cross

how do i fix this??

 

Have got got wee norton internet security / personal firewall installed ?

 

iv got the AVG free edition mate, dont use norton

 

Are you using a firewall at all ?? Generally it's a firewall blocking access to the site that's hosting the pictures (photobucket, imageshack etc) all you have to do is tell the firewall to grant access to these sites. Norton is famous for blocking pics.
