That's possible. My ISP's email service has an option to suppress/block images. It's not apples to apples but it does illustrate that the technique/software is known and available.

On the other hand, he says he can see the avatars and images in other people's posts. And, if I understand it correctly, he could see his image when it was embedded in the message (the one he deleted), but not when it is shown as a link (clickable thumbnail).

Very strange. If I've been following this correctly, only links (including clickable thumbnails) in his own messages are blocked/suppressed, but he can see those in other messages just fine. There's got to be a clue to the solution in there somewhere.

Oscer, if you insert the image as a link instead of embedded as an inline image, can you see the link in the message on your browser? Can you see and open this " link " or the link to the attached file below?

Tom, What did you do to that cat? lol It sounds like you understand the situation perfectly. The one I deleted showed a rather large picture under the text I could see it. I can open your link and other's pictures. the only problem,that I'm aware of at this point, is if I post a pic the way Timber showed me ,I can't see the thumbnail, but you got it right it's only in my own posts. I can see my avatar and other avatars.

Well, all of a sudden when I loged on today all the posts that I put pics in have thumbnails that I can actually see and open. I didn't do anything to fix the problem, I don't know why it works but it works, at leadt for now.

Just a wild guess but it could have been an internal problem with your account and one of the site owners fixed it for you.

Congratulations, oscer! Hopefully it'll keep working for you. And that was one P.O.ed pussycat, wasn't it.

Sure was, I had a cat who would jump on the lid of our 50 gal aquarium to get a drink. One day my wife was cleaning the aquarium and not realizing the lid was off, he jumped right in, pretty funny site.
As to the thumbnail thing I think it was my firewall, I turned it off at the beggining of this exersize but I think my wife has been turning it back on ,at any rate when its on it blocks my thumbnails. Thanks again for all your help fellas, oscer
