    I'd second that.

    For some reason your connection is possibly to slow and you get a timeout - reasons - there are possibly numerous reasosn, this is a good first step.

    To me, images that come up as boxes with Xs signify a possible Java issue. You might want to download the latest Java update and/or do some Java troubleshooting on their site.

    Not all pictures use Java to display.
    You can have pictures displayed via simple HTML...

    Try using Firefox, it is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer.
