I think maybe it has something to do with browser security settings... When I look at the post it has the full frame reserved for the pic but there is nothing there except for the little box with the red x. Clicking on the red x and selecting "show picture" doesn't do anything. Looks like it tries something but nothing is different. I have a photobucket account. I don't have any problem seeing the IMG links that I or others past into posts. I don't have any animation on the site. Things like the animated sigs and stuff ... don't. I remember at some time they did. Got reminded of that when I saw the animations with the browser on my phone! I have my browser fairly tight. Problem is that I did that a long time ago taking a day or two reading all those tech forums and tweaking the advanced settings... I've long since forgotten the details. sigh. Then again it could be a setting in Free Surfer MK II, or an advanced setting in ZoneAlarm Pro, or some XP service I've turned off or others I've also forgotten about :scare:
