Why am I not seeing many images that are posted here?
All I'm seeing are red "x"s in the upper left-hand corner.
From the comments following such images, it doesn't appear to be happening to others; they're seeing images.
I checked adobe, I checked flash player; they both insist the most-recent versions are installed.
Internet Explorer, Windows XP.

What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

How do I find out?

Click on the 'About Internet Explorer' link in the Help menu.

Thanks!
Internet Explorer 9.

In the 'Tools' menu, you should have an option called Compatibility View settings. Add conservativecave.com to the list.

Okay, I did that.
Still red "x"s.
This is what I'm trying to see (the images):
http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=99203.0 -- reply 5.
If one changes "compatibility," does one have to shut down and re-start, perhaps?

Generally, no. It just reloads the page you're looking at.
It could be your ISP. That particular image is hosted on some akami server which could be a problem. It might be as simple as the link to the image itself (https).

You may need to clear your browser cache. I've removed the http(s) from the image links as a test.

Okay, that worked; thanks. I can see the photographs.
But in your comment preceding your last one, that link doesn't work. It comes up saying it can't display the web-site. I checked the internet connection, and it says it can't find any problems.
-
Your ISP may have those sites blocked, or it could be the https settings on your browser. I can't think of a fix off the top of my head, but I know there's one out there. I'll have to look it up tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it. Try lowering the security level of your browser (Internet options > Security > Internet) to medium or medium-low.

Now, I experimented, on four images that'd been red "x"s before.
If I remove the "s" from the https, the image shows.
So that may be the source of the problem?
-
Frank, Check the time windows thinks it is and then follow up with the bios time.
Getting rid of the S in https is not the right solution.

How does one find the "bios time"?
-
It varies with the motherboard.
Mine is hitting the f4 key during boot.
Was your windows time right?

Time as shown in the lower right-hand corner, on the task bar, is correct.
-
How about the date?

Date is correct, too.

So If you click on the link that chris_ supplied in post #7 of this thread you still get a red X?

If I click on that particular link, I still get "Internet Explorer cannot display this web page" and "Diagnose connection problems."

Have a look at this in order to have IE make log files.

I have Internet Explorer, Firefox, and that google brower downloaded on this computer--although in the third case, since I didn't much care for it, I uninstalled it, but apparently there's still fragments of it here.
At the time I made the post, I had both Explorer and Firefox open.
I use Explorer for most things, including conservativecave, but photobucket won't accept it, and so when on photobucket, I have to use Firefox.
<<<prefers Explorer.
-
Does Firefox work on Chis_'s or my link?

Lemme check. Gimme a minute.

Yes, they both work on Firefox; Chris_'s photo of Anne and your windowsnetworking page.

Can you use the windowsnetworkink link to enable IE logging?

Okay now, I'll try that in the morning and get back to you.
I'm in between computers--the old one crashed, and I made arrangements to buy a new one, picking it up around Thanksgiving. At the moment, I'm using a jerry-built sort of thing, and so this "problem"'s gonna be gone in a couple of weeks.
HOWEVER, while using this disposable computer, I'm taking the opportunity to learn things.
<<<opportunistic.

Well, I suppose you could have just told me what the deal was.
I fukin hate this, this is why I hate trying to support other folkes.
You lie, all the time you lie.

I have run into the red x problem before too. I find that it goes away when I load the most current version of flash player.
