Sometimes on the forum i cannot see certain pictures.A small box with a red x in the middle is there instead of the picture.does anyone know how to correct this?

It may be the browser you are using...just a shot in the darks though!

sometimes, when i add tabs, it signs me out and I cannot see the pics. maybe thats it?

if your viewing old threads, the the images may not be on the internet anymore, thus unavalible
