Not me. What browser are you using? If it's Firefox, make sure AdBlock isn't enabled. Try the usual clear cache/restart browser. Try restarting your machine maybe?
It's possible that your browser is set to not load images. To fix this in Firefox go to Tools -> Options -> Content. Make sure that 'load images automatically is checked'. In IE7, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced, find the multimedia section in the scrollable window and make sure that 'Show Pictures' is checked.
Might as well try all that stuff to rule out a system setting.

if that were the case, then wouldn't new images be broken? someone changed their avatar to yesterday's print, and it's showing up fine for me. that can't be more than a day-old image.

What Adam is talking about is server-level hotlink protection. Most IPPs provide it and it was also turned on prior to the site being moved over to the new server.
I can't imagine the hotlink protection is causing your problem unless you're using a weird masking proxy to cover your tracks for some reason.
I'm also sure other IE users would have spoken up if they were having problems (you can't be the only IE user here).
Given the site's bandwidth useage and the rich trove of images we have, I wouldn't suggest turning the hotlink protection off.

The problem only happened the day when Adam enabled the hotlink protection. I am not running a proxy server, but even if I was, there would be no way that could cause the problem.
Can you view the prints wiki or is the problem isolated to the forum only?

In Firefox, I've tried to troubleshoot by disabling every plug-in, to no avail.
Circa77-- did you try dumping your Firefox cache? I note you're using FF and the images load for you.
If any other Firefox or IE users are reading this and could chime in either WITH problems or WITHOUT problems, it would be helpful.
