I have this problem as well. For me, it’s definitely a Firefox+Gmail combination, it’s not related to “get info” settings (images are set to display), and it’s not the “Display Images” link within gmail, since I have accepted images for many of the common emails I get that have stopped showing.

I can look at Gmail in other browsers and see the images for emails that wouldn’t load without any trouble.

Sigh.

I don’t subscribe to the email, but I do read the RSS feed in Google Reader and continue to have problems seeing images. Oddly enough, I find that if I right-click on the image, copy the image URL, then paste it into a new window, it shows up fine. This makes me wonder if maybe the site is doing some kind of referrer-blocking to prevent people from hot-linking directly to images. I’ve seen that before on other sites and it fits the symptoms. If that’s the case, it’s possible that web-based email clients and feed readers may be collateral damage — because for them to work correctly, they need to link to the images from off-site.

Similar to others, I used to get images consistently but for the last 2(?) weeks some emails showed no images; and sometimes 1 or 2 images in an email would load but others would not. I could see all images in today’s email (both bed and the test pattern).

I use hotmail to get moderncat messages, and the last few weeks have been the 1st time I’ve experienced this problem. The fact that I can have images loading and also not loading in the same email shows it is not a global refusal of images by hotmail, but perhaps some problem specific to the type of image or the way that it was embedded?

Hi, there. I don’t subscribe to the email, but I do subscribe to the RSS feed. I can see the images in Google Reader, but not in my mobile reader. It does not appear to be consistent, though. For instance, I could not see the image for this post, but the next post’s image (cat head bed) showed up fine.

Good luck solving the puzzle!

Thanks everyone for your comments! It remains a mystery, let’s see how it goes tomorrow.

I’m also having the problem. I recently changed from using Microsoft Entourage to Apple’s Mail program, but I don’t know if this is related. I just click the Internet link and look at the material on Safari.

The images aren’t loading in my email either. This only started happening recently.

I do not see pictures either. I’m using a Mac, if it was sent from a PC maybe it is compatibility issues. Some types of image files (like .bmp) are windows based and a different OS may not show them unless you open them in a special software (like Adobe). I use an AOL account but view it using Mac mail or my iphone. I can’t see the pictures on either one.

I seem to be like everyone else, it’s just been the last few emails. I found that if I right-click where the image should be and select “show picture”, it will!

Same; I got images today but not for the last week. There’s no indication that it’s missing images, no broken link symbol. They’re just not there. I thought you weren’t putting any in.

i’ve also been having this problem for about a week. i’m using hotmail on firefox, and usually it will tell me it’s intentionally not displaying images, but in this case it seems to think it is showing them, so there is no button to hit. what it is displaying appears to be the name of the picture, just not the picture. since other people are dealing with this too, it seems like a moderncat thing, and not an increased email security thing. i just click the link to read articles at the site.

I’ve been having this problem for about a week too, but I figured it was an AOL issue. Seems to be an on again, off again issue with them and email, but Modern Cat emails are the only ones affected right now. I’m using Firefox 3.6 (I don’t use the AOL software, so I’m reading with Firefox). Usually refreshing will make the images load but not always. The site is always fine.

Same problem; I thought you were trying to redirect traffic to your website and that’s why I didn’t bring it up originally in any posts. A while ago, the pictures were fine, and when they weren’t showing, all I had to do was click the “show pictures” link… but even that’s not working! Weird!

Images from Modern Cat consistently load well on my gmail address, when I open it on my computer (Mac). However, none of them come up when I look at the same mailbox on my Blackberry, even after clicking “load images”

I have this problem sporadically. Refreshing the page or closing the email and then opening it again worked to make the images show the few times that I’ve tried it.

I’ve also had some emails with some images not showing up, while others are fine. If I recall correctly, it was the first few images that didn’t show while the others were fine. I think the broken images might have all been in one post.

Yup. Recent development the last week or so. I use Mail in Mac OS 10.5.8 but they don’t come up in Gmail/Safari either. Everything came up fine today though.

I’m having the same problem — pictures are not downloading in e-mail. They used to download perfectly. Alas, no more.
