Topic: PEOPLE, FIX YOU AVATARS AND BROKEN IMAGE LINKS!!!

  Okay, why is it Mozilla can find them directly via that image link, but when I paste the same link into IE, it bombs out? Needless to say I despise IE, but the way it's integrated into Windows, it's hard not to use. I always believed that Windows keeps a large portion of IE cached at all times so it ALWAYS launches faster than other browsers.

In IE try the following.  Select the space where the image should be.  Right click the selected space and choose show image.  The image should then download and be visible.  Next time you refresh the image should be loaded properly.  

I just had that work in IE 5.xx under Win98SE.  Didn't need to do it on my main machine with Win2kPro and Netscape 7.1.

  Now this is weird, IE cannot find these links but Mozilla still does. I tried this link in both browsers, and IE failed.

     

I see it  

I don't, but then I'm using IE.  That's kind of odd actually.  
   

That's odd. I'm using IE6.0SPx. build ex-trillion-plus

 Nope, no good. IE for some reason cannot find the images, Mozilla still can.

  That's it, I'm suing MS for emotitonal distress!

Odd, I was seeing that fine at home, and get a little red x at work. Both using IE.

Its rather simple actually: IE sucks and its open source counter part doesn't.

  I know IE sucks. But it seems to be loaded at all times and by the time I release my finger from the mouse button, IE is loaded and already has my home page up, probably because IE is cached at all times regardless if you are using it or not and probably taking 20 megabytes of RAM whether it's running or not. Mozilla takes a little longer and I usually don't do too much browsing other than these forums to care.

  I wonder if it's possible to remove IE from Windows without causing problems.
