Anyone else seeing small X in the box where the pictures should be?

Working fine Wednesday evening, now no pics. Tried signing out of the forum and back in but didn't help. Any help appreciated.

    Is that fallout from Photobucket and other companies that have just recently locked out "free" users from their buckets? Photobucket is now requesting a $399 subscription fee if you want access. At least that's the scoop I've been reading on other blogs today. Not just PB either. The free photo dump sites look to be going the way of the dino's.

    To be clear, I can't see anyone's pictures that have been posted. In all threads, and BST.

    There are times on this site when all the images are simply missing on my screen, but I have not come across the X-box. It is definitely specific to the PCGS system.

    No, just a black box with an x in it.

    Likely culprit is your browser. Try clearing the cache or just reload the browser.

    Just cleared my browsing history. No change.

  • bolivarshagnastybolivarshagnasty Posts: 7,348 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thanks for the help everyone. Just rebooted computer and no help. Don't think it's my computer as I am seeing lots of pictures on a car forum I frequent.

    I was not aware that they were doing that although it wouldn't surprise me. The last time I used it to host a picture it worked a few days ago.

    I think that number of the "x"s are due to old threads which are revived after they have been off the boards for a while. The links don't seem to work any more. I got into one that had "x"s on my message. I went back re-uploaded the pictures so that they would show.

    I have the same "x" issue, but only some pictures are missing, not all.

    It's a disaster for my sample threads - either pay the $599 fee or re-download all the images using PCGS as the host.

    It's going to take some time...... :s

    No problem here... I see all the pictures - in this thread and others. Once in a while, I will see a little box representing a picture, and I have to click on it and open in a separate window... however, I believe that is due to the way the picture is posted/hosted. Cheers, RickO

    It is possible to turn off or on viewing all pictures on a browser.

    If one sees no pictures at all from any website then this might be the problem.

    An update.....the issue seems to be only with my desktop dell with windows 7. I can view pics from my iphone or ipad. With the desktop, I can view pictures on an automotive message board with no isues. Can also view pics in links or directly from the registry. Only the PCGS forums are giving me the x box.

    I can see the pics fine....laptop/Chrome

    I have the same issue with my PC now. Small box with an X for everything except those few new round avatars some people have.
    Windows 10, ie 11.
    Cleared my temp files, browsing history and rebooted to no avail.

    Everything fine on the iPad and smartphone (Android).

    Edit: This forum is the only site that has this issue.

    I'm windows 7, newest Internet Explorer 11. Everything fine on the Ipad. No help yet after I sent a screenshot and explanation to Customer Service. Haven't heard back.

    I have a paid PB account and I'm getting the X's for a week or so now.
