I doubt it's a cookies / caching problem... Images should download again anyway. I have noted it on a couple of images (it's not affecting everything)... so I am guessing it's probably on the image hosting side?

there are a few old pictures that expired at some stage, thanks to whichever image hosting site it was on - remember when photobucket tried to break the internet?

I have done a refresh, clsed the site and seached it again and logged in afresh but no luck. It is on my home PC running firefox as the browser.
My work PC using explorer has no issues.
It's only been since sometime last week. All threads with pictures are affected.

AlanH, it's another Server hosting issue.

In the same thread I saw these, there were other pictures hosted on different sites working fine.

The Internet isn't a permanent thing all the time buddy..

The SAFEST way to guarantee keeping Pics live literally forever, is get your own domain where you can load up your own pics, and, then pay for your own space as it grows.. This is what actually happens. "Free" image sites eventually break or run out of disc space..

Images ARE visible again

Post by AlanH »

Images are visible again.
It's been a long search but finally it is sorted. Since last November I could no longer view images hosted on Postimg.cc.
I have since tried all tricks and advice given but to no avail. Finally after deleting browsers, reinstalling, using different browsers all with the same result I decided to take my laptop to work and ask the IT guys.
Lo and behold when I logged onto the network there all was well. Now either the problem was solved over night or there was an issue on my home network.
So at home tried again and no images. That's when I logged a fault at my ISP. It's taken them a month of searching, deleting all my history ...,but finally the problem was sorted. And, what was it?
Well they had some hackers try to get onto their machines so they blocked a certain range op IP's which happen to be the same as the postimg site uses.
Unblocked the IP and all is good again.

Just thought I'd post this in case someone else has a similar problem. Try from another network and take it from there.
