Many posts have pictures attached, but I only see a red box with and X . Is there a setting whereby I can see the pictures?
Thanks

Follow these steps:

1) right click on the RED X box

2) go down to PROPERTIES, and click

3) COPY the URL Address for that picture

4) PASTE the URL Address on to the address bar of your Web Browser, and hit ENTER

5) an old MBWorld server log-in screen will appear

6) log in again using your MBWorld screen-name and password, and hit ENTER

7) the picture will come up on that web page browser

8) now back-track your web browser to the original post that had the RED X boxes, and "REFRESH" the page

9) now, all RED X boxes should appear as pictures

That's what I have to do every single time I log on to MBWorld. It's a pain in the ***, and hopefully someone will fix it soon !

The problem is that those pictures reside on an old MBWorld server (www.forums.mbworld.org) and the site administrators are still trying to figure out how to link / move / re-direct those pictures, so that they are on the www.mbworld.org server.

Seems like the www.forums.mbworld.org server is not working at all.

So all those pictures are either a) LOST FOREVER
or
b) hopefully saved somewhere, so the site administrators can restore and fix all the broken picture links from 2001 to present.
