“Am I the only one who can’t see most of the photos FReepers are posting? I just get blank white squares with the broken-link image in the top left corner. I wonder if it’s something about my computer.”

I have the same problem using FireFox browser. No photos appear that begin with this url image address -—

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/

I use NoScript and AdBlock Plus. I think one of these might be causing the problem, but nothing I have tried has fixed it.

If I open the thread using the browser Safari, I can see all of the photos.

It has been frustrating me for months. I don’t even get the “blank white square” which would at least alert me to the fact that someone has posted a photo I am not seeing.

Thank you, thouworm! I'll bet you've nailed it. I'm using FireFox and AdBlock Plus. I'll try getting out and coming back with Safari.

Okay, I’m back, and you were right, thouworm—using Safari is enabling me to see all the pictures on this thread. Thanks so much!

I can’t see most photos online either (due to either Firefox or NoScript). However, I can view any and all photos if I choose to. Right click on the “invisible” photo and choose “view image”. You should be able to see the photos, now.
