I'm a little confused that when I go to see Johnnys pics in his posts all I see is fortune city. No pics .However no one else seems to have this problem. Any ideas. This doesn't happen on anyone else's posts that I can remember.

When I go to a post by "Johnny" if he has a pic in the post all I see is fortunecity logo. No pic . His posts seem to be the only ones that I cant see though. If I select any of his posts its that way.

Is it that you can not see them in his posts or when you try to load them directly?

Do either of these work?

No, I cant see either one. They both show the logo only. Must be my computer or something?

Try lowering your browser's security settings.

From the Tools menu select Internet Options. On the Security tab, at the bottom, click on the custom level button. At the bottom of the pop-up window that opens you can choose to reset custom settings. Choose the Low setting.

Maybe if you try going to the URL of a pic directly it would tell you more about the problem. Copy this link into the Address bar of a new browser window and see if you get the pic or just the logo:

Could be like PhotoPoint and a few others - they don't allow linking to images on their server but they don't do a proper job of blocking it either :-)

Added after posting - hey, look at the link above. It's long and truncated with ... in the URL. Could that be the problem? Is there something in the RC software that truncates long URLs?
