Perhaps 'wunderground' has moved their images to a different URL.

I just clicked your link above and the image displayed. I'll ponder
more on this after I put more laundry in the washer.

FWIW, I got a 'not found' the first time I tried (-in 1.1.8) and the
image every time thereafter.

No ideas...


Well, we're down to ...

- differences in browsers (not likely, I tested at least 5 and they
all worked)

- firewalls blocking a domain or IP

- host file blcoking a domain or IP

- a browser setting

- a faulty DNS server denying that particular domain

I'm out of ideas. Still curious about the problem, just don't have
any more ideas.

What gets me is my one-time-only failure. I can't explain that or
imagine it's cause as something other than obscure.

Ed, I have Seamonkey set to "Accept all images" and do not see them,
only the alt attributes. In all my browsers...

Weird. I see all images in:

SM, Firefox, IE7, Opera and Safari.

Hmm. Firewall? Probably not. Router? Doubtful. Hmm. Do you have a
hosts file that is blocking wunderground.com or its IP? That's where
all the images in question are sourced.


Bad DNS lookup from some ISP's?


Sounds like a real possibility. I wonder if those with the issue can get
to http://wunderground.com.

Why is the word abbreviation so long?

Ed

I went back to the users that complained with your first suggestion about
going to; Edit - Preferences - Privacy & Security - Images.

All three of them made the changes you suggested and they were able to see
the image. It turned out to be a problem between the chair and the
keyboard.

Appreciate all response and suggestions!

Glad it worked out. And thanks for telling us. ;-)

Always try to be modest. And be damn proud of it!

As someone says .... maybe the server
can't handle the traffic - for your first try ...then ok after ..

Yes, that's probably it in my case - esp. since the OP explained the main
cause was elsewise.
