Safari Blue Question Mark on Pictures

Every time that try to view something on Craigslist, I receive the blue question mark box instead of a photo. How can I change this so that I can view the photo instead? I am having this issue with other web sites too.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

In Safari Preferences/Appearance, have you checked the box 'Display images when the page opens'?

Yes, it was checked. I was hoping that it wasn't. 🙂

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Not from me as I don't run Snow Leopard and do not want to lead you astray!

Others will chime in in due course! 🙂

multiple sites - is often dns; whose are you using ?

opendns is good - https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/apple-osx-leopard
or follow the same steps & try google's - http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/

---

failing that, d'you have any filtering/blocking//security/proxy/ad-removal software ?
tried another user account?
nothing checked in System prefs-Network-Advanced-Proxies ?

I tried those options and they didn't work. However, I tried a different user account and everything worked fine. I'm trying to figure out what is different between the two, but I haven't solved it yet. Hopefully, I'll find it.

Thanks for your help!

Ok good, - well if it's just Safari, then removing the cache is a reasonable step

It's in Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ - trash the file cache.db while safari is quit.

You've any software/plugins in Home/Library/Input Managers/ or .../Internet Plug-Ins/
any Safari extensions in Safari-Preferences-Extensions ?
and account-specific login items in System Preferences-accounts ?

Thank you too for your help.

I noticed that you live in Somerset. My family has lived in Watchet for hundreds of years. We emigrated to the U.S., but I would love to take my kids back there one day. Great to see a familiar, yet special place on here.

Have a good one!

You're welcome!

Watchet has been beautifully restored in recent years and is well worth a visit, we go there from time to time! 🙂
