Why am I seeing some images in threads but not others? I just linked to a photo in my own photobucket album for [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/photos-with-you-in-them-of-which-you-are-proud ]Woppit's photo thread[/url], and I can see others' images, but not my own. Last time I linked to an image, however, there was no problem at all.

I have noticed, meanwhile, that in the last few days, the images I can see have decreased in number, and those that appear as a 'broken link' icon have increased. This is happening on my work PC using IE and Chrome.

Any ideas?

Your pic looks fine to me. Layer 8 issue?

Work proxy server / AV blocking Photobucket? It's had issues with being flagged as a malware site in the past.

Ah. It could be the work proxy server. I had posted from my phone using 3G and could see it fine.

I get this all the time at work. It's our proxy settings, no doubt I'm flagged up on a log somewhere for viewing something inappropriate, but I really CGAS!

What happens if you just browse to photobucket, do you get a 'friendly' proxy message?

Same here, many sites are blocked at work. Sometimes it's so frustrating I give up and do some work....

No. You're right. Turns out photobucket is completely blocked here. I had never realised thta, as I tend to used my phone alot.
