    I doubt that's anything to do with your computer. Either the pic has been taken off the site its been hosted on, or the OP of the thread removed the pictures.

    Could you link to which thread specifically so we can confirm it isn't just you?

    Assuming its IE 7 check

    1. From Internet Explorer 7, click the "Tools" button.

    2. Select "Internet Options".

    3. When the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Advanced" tab.

    4. Scroll down to "Multimedia" and check or uncheck "Show pictures" as desired.

    5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    In the far right hand corner of the “Post Reply” box (at the top) you will find a little box with A/A. you will need to set that to the opposite of what it is now. I only know that because I used to have that trouble.

    If its not that try in the user control pannel (on this site) and click on edit options scroll down there is a box about images make sure that is ticked.

    And yes I can see the images above.
