Default Not getting thumbnails

For the past couple of months when reading the C3 forum, when someone posts with attached thumbnails, I see the message fine, but get an empty box that says "attached thumbnails". I used to get them fine, but haven't now in quite a while. Also, sometimes someone will post a link in their post, and all i get is a blank area in the post where I assume the link is. I know everyone else sees them fine because they comment on the thumbnails/links.
I've tried different browsers, but nothing helps. Any ideas ????

Thanks

Can you give me a thread with an example?

Sometimes you have to clear out cache and/or temporary internet files in order to see some of these items again.

I also wonder if you installed something new lately, possibly a firewall, that may block some of these items.

Default no thumbnails....

Here is a good example......I get the text, but where it says "attached thumbnails", there is an empty box.

4 - Disable/Remove all Pop Up blocker software/apps.

5 - Logout out completely from Corvette Forum.

6 - In I.E. go to “tools” -> “internet options” -> under the section temporary internet files click “delete files”.

In FireFox go to “tools” -> “options” -> “privacy” tab -> “cache” -> “clear cache now”.
Once this is done, close all browser windows, reopen them, and try performing the action that they were unable to do beforehand.

7 - If that does not solve the issue, go back to internet options, delete the cookies, close the browser window, reopen in and try again.
Check all the UserCP/ Edit Options/View Visible Post Elements are active.

Clear all temp internet files.

Confirming you have the same issue with different browsers and can try different computers.
