Red X appears instead of image? - Comments Page 2

My problem is with Yahoo e-mail and Forwarding an e-mail with embedded pictures. I can see the embedded pictures before I Send the message, but after sending the message the embedded pictures turn into the dreaded red "X". I have also found that this is most likely happening whenever I have bc'd several addresses, and Yahoo has the spamfiltering software make me enter the encrypted code before Yahoo sends the e-mail. I've even forwarded the e-mail back to myself as the "TO" address, and the pictures disappear. I have tried forwarding the e-mail to just myself (and the Yahoo spamfiltering does NOT ask me to decode the encryted code), Then the embedded pictures WILL show up in my e-mail.
I've talked to Yahoo techs (online and on the phone)... and don't get anywhere with what seems like a bug with Yahoo's spamfiltering and embeded pictures.

Done anyone have any experience with my same problem?

Thanks!

Same problem using Eudora... E-mail has red x's but click forward and the picture contents show.

I couldn't view pic's on a message board-I cleaned out my temporary internet files and cookies files....also updated Java. Next morning all was fine....saw all captioned pic's. One or the other must have worked!

I installed a new firewall, then most of my images became red x's. It was like you said, I unchecked a box in my firewall, all is fine. Thanks

I have been through every scenario list above and previously and still to no avail i still get the red x problem is evryone who visits my site can see the pictures i posted but me. This is getting very annoying and i feel like throwing the pc through the window.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you try clearing the browser cache (temp files)?

I searched your two websites and in one found a few possibilities. That was on Internet Explorer security settings. I could not click Default Level as it was not highlighted-which I felt that my settings were already on
Default. I clicked Custom Level but saw too many places to change.And since I am not a computer maven, I was afraid to try. My "Show Pictures" on my MS Explorer is clicked and I can't find "Web Bugs" on either my AVG anti-virus
or Firewall. I will sign up for the FREE "AskBobRankin Updates" newsletter and watch for my answer.

In the mean time, I will use FireFox Explorer when I have to go into Greeting Cards, which is about 80% of my MS Explorer problem. The other 20% are images on incoming mail. I wanted to change FireFox to my default explorer but my son-in-law (a software programmer) said don't do it. Your Opinion for this please.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If Firefox works for you and you like it, there's no reason not to use it.

Hello I have been trying to access this site for quite sometime. Lately I have not been able to get the page to view correctly. None of the html shows up and all of the pics have red Xs where there should be an image. I have recovered the error message. Could you help me out?

I'm not getting pictures when i go on web sites,just red x's.I am using the new vista program.I hope some one can tell me how to fix this problem.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It just started when you upgraded to Vista? Which of the tips in the article above did you try?

I've tried everything you said, & still have the red x. Here's the scenario: I use Incredimail, just downloaded their newest build. I was told to try it again, using just the upgrade. Nope. Then I was told to download the full version of the newest build. Nope. It doesn't happen all the time with all the graphics, it's hit & miss. Any other suggestions?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Have you tried getting rid of Incredimail?

I am using Hotmail and I keep getting the red X on most of the JPEG attachments. But when I use a different computer, there isn't a red X on those attachments. I can't seem to find the problem. I am using a McAfee anti virus and there isn't a check box for Web Bugs. HELP!!!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Try removing McAfee and replace it with one of the many free alternatives.
