MG MGA - opening images

For the past week or so my computer has stopped opening attached images, is anyone else experiencing this? If not does any one have any suggestions of how to source the problem?

Have you checked that you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer? I seem to remember that was the problem I had when all images refused to open on my computer.

Have you checked the display images check box in customise your settings?

If you are using Internet Explorer, try downloading and installing Firefox (it's free and a lot of folks far prefer it over IE). If the images display in Firefox, try reinstalling Internet Explorer. If not, you will need to check Windows to make sure you still have a default program (Paint, Picture Viewer, etc) set to open .jpg files.

As Steve says, go to "Customize" at the top of the page. Once you're there scroll down to "View images within posts in-line" and make sure it's checked in the "Yes" box. I've had a problem in the past when photos would stop displaying and that was the problem every time.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. As suggested I've clicked on the 'view images.....' and it's placed the pictures after the text. What I couldn't restore was the ability to not have the picture until the image statement is clicked. I don't think this option is given and not sure how I had it in the first place.

JH,

I just now went to "Customize" and clicked "No" on "View images within posts in-line". After saving the change I had to click "Image" when I saw it in one of the forum topics to view the photos. It's a pain in the ass...why do you want to do that?
