It's not your internet settings. It's because the pictures are being uploaded from somewhere that doesn't allow linking. Or maybe it is your internet settings. I have no clue really and don't have any idea why I even replied. Man, I'm grumpy today.

Shelley is mostly correct, even if she is a grumpy-pants. 
The red x's in little boxes mean that an image is supposed to be there, but your browser was unable to load the image for some reason. Usually this happens when a web site links to images on someone else's website or server, and that person deletes everything from their site/server. So the website you are viewing is calling up images that no longer exist - and you get red x's. This can also happen when the server hosting the image is running so slow that the browser just gives up trying to acquire the image and gives you red x's instead. And it can also happen if your browser settings are such that you don't want to view any images - but this doesn't sound like the case for you (since you can see some images).
