I can no longer see pics in anyones profiles .... what could the problem be?

[Mummy2TandF]

As the title says really - I haven't changed anything on my pc but I am unable to view anyones profile page pics ... even people who haven't got security settings? What can i do to fix this?

I've just managed to duplicate the error.
It could be an Internet Explorer thing, as it works find in Firefox.

Photos are in the following format: www.mumsnet.com/12221.Ups

The extension is .Ups not .JPG .GIF .PNG so perhaps Internet Explorer does not know how to handle that, thus displays a default error image. FireFox reports that for the link above, the photo is JPEG image, 200x207 pixels.

I would suggest installing Firefox. It is very similar to Internet Explorer, so you will soon get used to using it.
