Barb,
I know what you mean, as I have occasionally gotten a "red x" in the past,
but this is different. There is a line across the top to click and it will
then allow the pictures. Every week I get an e-mail from Tiger Direct, and
it always shows all of the pictures just fine. This time I got an e-mail
full of red x's. Then I clicked on the "allow them" line across the top, and
they all appear.
