Getting red x's when logged in and viewing threads in the past few days. Smiles and all other images. What's changed?

In order to assist, please link us to a direct and specific post (not just a thread) as an example that shows the issue so that we can investigate.

So, for me, scrolling over the "reply with quote", which I think used to be an icon, now it is just a red X with reply with quote in red.,,,same with reply. I have noticed that on other's replies, instead of seeing the Cheers icon, I see a box with a red X....scrolling over it, then screen says "Cheers".
Seems like lots of guys having problems from reading lots of the other "Help area posts" Pretty much a pain, in my view.

Try clearing your browser's cache. That icon in particular is working for me and the reference is from a valid URL. Note you don't need to clear cookies, you need to delete temporary internet files. And if you use your browser's built-in feature to do it and you happen to have CorvetteForum marked as a Favorite, you'll need to deselect the preserve favorites data option.

Regarding problems, CorvetteForum is considered to be a fairly large and active website and so, along with that, comes issues that may be the members end or CorvetteForum's end. I think based on (legitimate - and not misplaced) posts in here versus elsewhere, the percentage is small.

Not sure how to let you see what I'm seeing since X's are anywhere there is an image. For example, your post shows X JT is offline, X report post, X reply with post, X multi quote, etc. Problem is with CF since logging on with different computer gives same result and problem is only with CF site.

You need to delete your temporary internet files as I outlined above. As you can see, another member in this thread had the same issue and that was the resolution. When the URLs are correct, as I have not been able to find any that aren't, clearing temporary internet files is often the resolution.
