Yahoo Email Images?

Nov 26, 2006 2:47AM PST

Running Win XP SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. Yahoo Mail is the primary email. Lately Yahoo email has been blocking some images. When someone sends an online photo album to view, the images will not display at all. There's usually an empty square and a red x. Even if I right clik and select "show image" it displays nothing.

I have checked the Yahoo mail settings and it is set to display images.

P.S. I'm using Verizon Wireless Broadband as my Internet Service. I don't see anything in the VZ Access Manager regarding the display of images.

Need to know what browser you are using.
