how do you post pictures all i get is the red X

Depends... You can use the attachment function or the IMG tag. Perhaps the place you have your images stored does not allow hotlinking of images?

Try and post a pix, when we see the red X, we can tell you what the problem is. Not to imply that you are stupid, but some newbies don't understand that you can't display a pix on your hard drive on a messageboard, it has to be uploaded or attached.

Maybe this will help....

If you are getting a red X where pictures should be, it is an easy fix.

First off, obviously make sure it is happening frequently, not just on a website here and there because their can be a problem with the server hosting the website. You can also try refreshing a page (refresh or F5). You can verify Internet Explorer is setup to show images by going to Tool, Internet Options, click the advanced tab and under Multimedia make sure Show Pictures is checked. Make sure you have the latest updates for Internet Explorer from Windows Update.

Ok, I know you probably have already checked all that, so since you have, we go to a registry fix:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Quit Internet Explorer, if it is running.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type Regedit, and then press ENTER.
Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif

Double-click the Content Type value in the right pane of the Registry Editor.
In the Edit String dialog box, type image/gif in the Value Data box, and then click OK.
Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg

Double-click the Content Type value in the right pane of the Registry Editor.
In the Edit String dialog box, type image/jpg in the Value Data box, and then click OK.
Quit the Registry Editor.
Start Internet Explorer and open any Web page with a JPG or a GIF image
