It might be to do with the web filtering software that your company has implemented, used to do the same with my laptop from my old job

Do they show if you right click >>> Show Picture or does that do nothing either?

Are some people's sigs and avatars the same, or is it just smileys and nothing else?

I have the same problem too.... can't see any pics that are posted up when I am on the work's pc..... it seems to depend on what hosting site they've used. Photobucket is a big no no at our place...
