1. You should probably provide some links to posts with examples of when you can and can't see images.

You should also let people know what you are using to view DU - tablet, phone, computer, and the operating system and browser.

Many of the problems with images not showing up here are caused by one of two issues.

• using images from sites that don't allow hotlinking (embedding their images on someone else's website)
• privacy settings in browsers blocking images to prevent sites from tracking you (these settings can change during updates)

I'm pretty sure images from Facebook fall into the first category and Twitter images into the second.
