Hi John!

What browser are you using?

Using Firefox 1.5.01 on Ubuntu Linux.

Can you see other images? Please verify all relevant browser options.

Yes, all other images show up fine. Have AdBlock plugin running, but this never
interferes with normal pics. The pic still does not appear, but does download
from its own page.

May be just my PC -- have to try another. Thanks.

By any chance did you recently change Firefox's preferences by checking
"Load images for the originating web site only"?

Since all our images are hosted on a separate server, this would cause
them all to fail.

Or perhaps you accidentally blocked all images from upload.wikimedia.org
by right-clicking and selecting "Block images from this server" at some
point? Check the 'exceptions' list next to 'Load images' in prefs.

THAT'S IT! Brion Vibber, that did the trick. Now everything's okay. (Now the
mystery I'd like to clear up is: how'd I ever screw up like that?) Thanks very much.
