Are others seeing what I'm seeing, that there are no longer photos on LL?

Tried a couple different browsers...

Looking at LL ads in Ottawa and Toronto, and no problems seeing pictures.

Thanks GT... Lookd like its location specific. My VPN has be coming in from NYC. Maybe LL blocks photos, using ip location, from folks in US. When i use a system that goes straight from canada, its fine. Thanks!

Yes, I've noticed when I travel now. Looking at Leolist ads of providers back home while I'm away does not show any pictures.

There are many reasons pictures don't show on websites. Some you can control, but others are problems with the websites themselves.
Why don’t pictures show when I visit websites?

Do pictures on a website show as red X’s?
There are a number of things that affect how pictures show up in your browser. Some you control, but many problems are caused by the websites themselves.
Let’s look at a few things that can happen.
Images can go missing from websites for a variety of reasons including the bad website design, problems connecting to the website, security settings, and more. You can use the Inspect tool in some browsers to diagnose why a picture might not be showing.
If you get a red X like this: , or something similar, that’s the browser’s indication it tried to download a picture but was unable to, or was instructed not to.
If you see only red X’s for all pictures on all sites, your browser is probably configured not to display images at all. Most browsers allow you to turn off downloading pictures completely as a way to download only the text of a website faster.
The first step is to check to make sure that’s configured properly. In Google Chrome, for example, there’s a setting specifically for controlling image display.
Access Chrome settings using the vertical ellipsis , and then search for “image”. Other browsers have similar settings.
If you’re seeing red X’s in place of images on only some sites, it’s more typically either a problem fetching the image, or a website design issue.
Download problems can be caused by adblockers, security software, or even filters at your ISP . You’ll want to check each of those in case they’re getting in the way.
The most common website issue is when images are removed from wherever they are hosted. For example, the image to the right is hosted on a domain different than the primary Ask Leo! domain (askleo.com):
https://askleo.askleomedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/image_not_found.png 1
If that file were removed, or that domain inaccessible, a red X would result.
Similarly, if I had mistyped the reference to that image, perhaps getting the domain, path, or filename wrong, then a red X would result.
What was once a common mistake was for a website to reference a picture by a path local to the designer’s machine. It might reference “c:picturesimage.jpg”, rather than a proper URL , such as “https://example.com/image.jpg”. To the designer, it works, because there is a “c:picturesimage.jpg” that their browser picks up when displaying the page for them . To the rest of us, it’s another red X. Fortunately, this seems to be rare these days.
If a webpage provided over an http s connection includes an image that is fetched with only http, this is referred to as “ mixed content ” and is considered a security hazard. Some aspects of the protection of an https secure connection is lost when items are fetched with http.
Google Chrome is apparently now erring on the side of security.
Unfortunately, that means that older webpages that have been updated to be shown via https might start including red X’s for any images they include that are not yet updated to do the same.
I’m hearing that some pages on Ask Leo! fall into that category. 2

I am having exactly the problem you described with red x’s, and I have already taken a look at “Show Pictures” and Auto-Resize.
I am connecting this laptop to the Net via a ComSocks “proxy server/gateway” set up on my main system, where the modem resides. Slick stuff, really.
Is there any chance that’s part of the problem? It’s a quick hookup all things considered though a dialup, but I just can’t see what’s up with this red x biz.
One thing to try is to right-click on one of the red-x’s select properties, and see the URL for the picture. Copy/paste that URL (it is selectable) into the address bar and see if it works that way.

What does this mean i am just getting red x and have done all in the article ?
Not sure where you got that, but there’s nothing at that link. The red x is legitimate – it means there’s nothing to get.
I am building a website and I use frontpage 2000 and the problem is that on my computer(XP)Sp2 some gif,jpeg are not showing up but on older computers(98) shows all of them! What am I doing wrong?
I am having the exact problem you described above. I have items listed on ebay and the pictures appear to me but not to others.
I did a test by moving my stored photos to a removable disc and the auction pictures disappeared.
How can I alter the path of these pictures so they will show up? I have hundreds of auctions! I am desperate and will appreciate any help!
It depends on how you’re creating your HTML. Make sure your pictures are placed on a web server somewhere, and then make sure that, as the article instructs, the pictures are referenced with an “ http:// …” type of reference rather than a “C:…”. The later is your local hard drive, and no one but you can see that.
I too am having problems with the red “X”. I’ve gone down the entire list of settings suggested on the MS Support page and everything is set correctly. I’ve also disabled my Norton internet security, anti-virus, firewall and Spybot. Nothing has helped.
The other notable is that when I right-click on the red “X” to examine the type or format, I don’t even get a properties option. All I get is the small window with unselectable options to “COPY”, SAVE PICTURE AS …”. SAVE BACKGROUND AS …” and the last option IS selectable which is “SELECT ALL”.
I recently did a system restore and cleaned house. Before I did that I had no problem viewing just about ANY image with the exact same protection software. After the restore I added two elements that were not there previous. (A) I updraded to IE6-SP1 and (B) I added “SPYBOT”.
Does any of this help point to a better possible solution?
Whenever I try to make my website have pictures on Internet Explorer the pictures come up and I can see them – great! But others can’t.
So I try making it on AOL and all the people on AOL can see the pictures but those people on Internet Explorer can’t.
Ive tried everything you have said and nothing works.
Any ideas on how to let everyone see the pictures?
Thanks.
Red x’s on websites,I had red x’s on ebay.try tools,internet options,privacy,sites, I removed all and websites that I had trouble viewing came up perfect, no more red x’s. You could go through and remove just the sites you are having trouble with but some sites rely on others to function. Ebay relys on double click and it was in the blocked sites. I just removed everything from the blocked sites, now I have no more red x’s on the websites I frequent.
I have three computers running WXP networked to broadband. I cannot access images on a particular motorcycle website on the third one only. All internet options settings are definitely identical and I have fully studied your detailed article on this subject. I do not get red exes but ‘show photo’ but clicking on image will not open it up. There is absolutely no problem with accessing images on any other website on this third computer which is a laptop. It is a real mystery and I would be most grateful if you have any ideas. Many thanks. Jennifer
I got the red x to go away by just telling the Windows security to let me download Java. It worked for me!
Thank you everybody!
We have 2 computers and on 1 I see red exes all over the screen on websites like CNN etc. When I click on the properties I see links like this one:
So all the red exes are bug.cgi things. It seems I need to change the settings on this computer but not sure what to change. Any advice.
Actually “127.0.0.1” is a reference to your own computer … something’s not right. I would suspect spyware or a virus actually. My first recommendation would be to scan for both.
I just deleted a supposed to be movie I downloaded from KaZaa and I got it all to work properly again.I guess a virus could do it too.
I can’t see pictures that are saved as a jpg file. Its becoming a big problem for me. Is there any way to fix it? I resently re-installed windows XP and it worked before. Is there somthing I need to intsall?
Thanks. We did a complete virus and spyware scan and nothing showed up. Any other ideas?
I have 3 computers, only the notebook has this problem ( red x syndrome on only a few sites). Tried all the fixes on this page, no luck. HELP!!!
PLEASE……
Same thing as Richard…..I cannot see anything on Yahoo. I have tried everything.
Just because it says http://127.0.0.1:1026/bug.cgi doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a virus/spyware on your comp. I was getting this for some of the sites and it turns out it’s because ZoneAlarm was set to disable web bugs under Cookie Control. So if you have ZoneAlarm or an ad/cookie blocker, see if there’s an option disabling web bugs.
I am curious as to why eBay has so many of these web bugs. These web bugs are suppose to be like cookies. And when I disable them the site looks all jumbled.
I have broadband ADSL and can always download all the images on a certain site perfectly OK. But my friend has 56Kb modem access and can always only download about half of them, the last half always coming up as red crosses. What can be the reason for this?
hi I have a myspace and one of my pictures doesn’t show up it just has a red x, but with my other pictures they do show up. I found that when I am logged on the picture shows up but if I am logged out the picture doesn’t show up. I have found that there is a problem with the url. How can I change it?
had the same thing on a site ( http://127.0.0.1:1072/bug.cgi )….but also had a piece of javascript added to the bottom…
Looked as though it was only on the homepage and it was continually trying to refresh.
I got the guy to check the site and it looks as though someone has gained access somehow and has changed the homepage (last updated this wednesday and the guy has been nowhere near it).
Hope it’s not a php exploit with the forum and someone now has root access to do as they please….but from the sounds of things it’s not malitious, or is it? :-S
how do I get an image from my computer that dosent have an http// adress on to my page
i had the same problem at some sites.i’m using norton internet security and turning it off just worked for me…no red Xes anymore…also erasing your temp.int. files might help…
I am currently using FireFox browser. When i go o my site it shows the icon not the red x thing but the second one you had show(the one that looks like a piece of paper with some shapes in it) But is cut in half. When i use internet Explorer it shows the red X’s
Well, it’s basically the same story as for IE users. You say this is your site? Can others see it ok? Especially if not, my guess is that the links to the images are incorrect as outlined in the article.
If you have firewall software it is probably blocking the pics. Just allow web bugs for ebay.
I do not see my problem addressed here. A couple of days ago all of the pics I posted from albums stored in MSN Groups either post as RED X or quickly turn RED X on my main PC. They still show correctly on my laptop and others in my group tell me they can still see them, so I know they are posting. Any idea why I cannot see them on my main PC? I would greatly appriciate any help. My sincere thanks.
Found your site on a google search – very useful, thanks! If you’re suing the Firefox browser, you need to go to tools, options, web features – and allow “load images”. a lot of sites, especially blogs, now have their images stored remotely at Flickr, so you also need to uncheck “for the originating web site only”.
If you Firefox doesn’t display images, its probably because they are called from another location. Easy to fix, Tools > Options > Web Features…it will show two checkboxes, one for ‘Load Images’ and a sub checkbox ‘for originating website only’. Make sure the ‘for originating website only’ is UNCHECKED and the ‘Load Images’ is checked. That fixed my display problems with PayPal and viewing images from all websites. >>> Jerry Decker – http://www.keelynet.com
Hey there.
I’ve got a weird problem with pictures on my IE and Firefox. There are a bunch of times when I go to a website, or in my mailbox (WebMail thru school) where I don’t see any image where I would see one with another computer. I don’t even see the red X or the other icon! I’ve got ZoneAlarm set up, and the Windows protector thingy is also up (though I’m not sure if that’s a good idea!). Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks for any/all help!
Some pictures on my computer just don’t show up… They come up with an icon that shows a red square, a blue circle, and a green triangle… Not the one shown in the article either.
Ok, heres what i did. Go on your system and find a file called HOST, windows/system32/drivers.etc. Open it using notpad, then do a search and find com.com and delete only ones that are com.com. Then do another search for the site that is not showing picturs. Delete that site, it may be in there a couple times. After that, save the file, close your IE explorer or firefox, then reopen and goto the site. Now the pictures should be there
I have a problem with my images. I made a website and the images (banners/buttons) are not loading…I get the RED X. The thing is, my html code is correct, AND when I view the webpage on a mac computer the images loads fine (images and all), however when I view it on a PC, the images are red X’s. I thought there was a problem with the folders, but I uploaded this other image (3 months ago) in that same folder and viewed it online (PC) and the image was fine. I’m confused…
It sounds like what happens to me when I have mixed upper and lower case filenames, and am hosting on a Linux server. Under Windows, “PiCtUrE.jPg” is the same as “picture.jpg”. Under Linux (and most other operating systems, for that matter) it is not.
So that would be one thing to look into.
The other is the use of “” versus “/” as directory separators. http://site/dir/filename.jpg and http:\sitedirfilename.jpg may, or may not work on different systems. The correct way is to use forward-slash “/” on the internet. Backslash “” can sometimes work, and sometimes confuse, depending on the systems and browsers involved.
I started having this problem on msn messageboards this week right after I had to reinstall McAfee. Seems quite a few other posters on the board started having the same problem.
I had an online chat with a Mcafee technician and solved the problem. It is in the “privacy service program.” When you are signed on as the Mcafee administrator, right click on the little Mcafee “M” icon on the bottom right of your screen, then go to “privacy service,” then “options.” Click on the “block ads” tab, then uncheck “block ads on this computer.”
I did this and now can see the photos. Apparently the privacy service was reading some photos as being ads. Of course, if you start getting unwanted ads, you will have to enable the “block ads” function when you are not trying to view photos.
My issue is when I forward an e-mail, the pictures in the e-mail are only readable by half of my friends. The same e-mail sent from someone else is legible by all my friends. What is my PC or MSN (MSN e-mail) doing to the pictures? Thanks
Others can see the pics on this particular site, it’s a yahoo group, but I get red x’s, I have show pictures ticked off in Advance and can see pics on other sites like Flickr, any answer to this question??? Thanks
