If you want odd, I had the exact problem....2 nights ago.

No buttons, images, icons, nada. It was the darndest thing. McAfee found no bugs, either. Something was afoot....and it's not done, apparently. I'm connected through a simple mom-and-pop dialup ISP in rural MO.

Well thank you very much for telling me that.. I hate to think I"m going nuts in bunches with AC.. orrrrr could that be the other way around?.. hmmmmm.. We both lost it together, while looking at pics to post. Everything went down at once.

Strangest thing I"ve ever witnessed, other than those Armadillos in Chads trousers..;)

Narrowing down the possibilities...

1. Browser set to text only. This can be done deliberately, or in the vast sea of computer users, it could be the result of a disk error, software bug, memory chip glitch, virus, defective installation program, etc.
2. ISP glitch. Images are mostly in the form of .jpgs ane .gifs. They are not "in" the page; they are requested by the browser as the page loads. Perhaps an ISP temporarily blocks images to cope with a performance problem, or perhaps they have one of the problems in point one.
