Never had this problem before. Today every photo has been replaced by a big red X. Anyone know why?

I don't know why, but mine will do it once in awhile.

Try shutting your machine totally down ( don't do a 'restart') let is shut down totally before restarting.

I think it has something to do with an Active X control on your computer.

Sometimes all you have to do is clear out the temporary internet files. You can do that by going into Tools, then clicking on Internet Options, General, Delete Browsing History. If you install CCleaner and run it often all this will be cleaned out for you. You don't have to shut down or restart anything.
Also, not all sites are supported by Internet Explorer. If you go to another website and pictures show up, you may have the solution. Try and install Mozilla Firefox or another browser to see if this fixes the problem. I have to use Mozilla for this site. Internet Explorer does not work for me (no pictures, too slow, can't post, etc.) here on the Board.

Thanks everyone. My internet service was interrupted right after I posted, so I think it had something to do with that. We've been having inconsistent internet speeds lately.

Forgot all about clearing temporary files, so did that just because it's a good thing to do regularly. :-D Thanks for the reminder!
