Erm can anyone help me out here
 
I was in the fan corner and none of my pictures are showing up :( There is just the little box with the red cross in. I could see them this morning. Does anyone know what's up with it?

have you tried right clicking the cross and clicking 'show picture' it works with mine (different website though)

Try other uploading site as: Imageshack, Photobucket & Photodump or just search Google for some uploading sites.

The problem lies with the file type of your images. The images that won't show up, and are replaced by those red boxes, do so because they are Bitmaps (.bmp). Bitmaps aren't supported by most browsers, and even PNGs (.png) aren't fully compatible. It's safe to turn them into JPGs (.jpg or .jpeg) or GIFs (.gif).

You can turn Bitmaps into JPGs very easily by using Microsoft Paint, just by selecting JPG from the 'Save As' drop down menu when saving an image.

Yeah, but then the quality also decreases. If you have some picturing program like photoshop, your quality wont decrease too much.
