Worked for me. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I like the first one the most.

Huh. That's odd. The machine I'm on right now is a LINUX box, browsing in Mozzilla in KDE. Maybe it's a Windows issue, but I was on a XP box last night.

Try coping the URL and paste it into a new browser window. This worked for me.
I like the first one.

The internet has three approved image formats. JPEGs (aka JPGs), GIFs, and PNGs. PNG stands for portable network graphic, and they combine the strengths of both the GIF and the JPEG. As a result, they also can be the bulkiest of the three. And becuase ten years ago there were still few applications that could work with them, they ended up being the red headed stepchild of internet images.
IE supports them, but not very well, becuase Meglosoft seems to have a thing against them. That's helped to make the best of the three supported image formats a second class format. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> They are "supported", the same way a WordPerfect is supported by MS Word.
The really odd thing is, I can access the images just fine through IE5 and IE6. Is there a link to click through? Which version of IE are you using? Also, how are you on your Windows updates? I know, they suck, but there was one a while ago that had to do with improving XP's PNG support (and some issues with other image formats).
And in any case, these two are JPEGs, it shouldn't be whining about PNG issues.

The simplest answer is often the correct one. From the home page of that site, under the heading "RPG Inspirational Posters" (scroll down): Update:
I had to disable direct remote access to the images because people were linking to them using IMG HTML tags causing the entire image to open up inside their forums. This was eating up my bandwidth and I would have gone over my monthly limit of 1 TB.
Preventing people from using the IMG HTML tag also prevents people from linking directly to the images by copying and pasting the URL of an image into their website or by using the A HREF HTML tag, which is how you are supposed to do it. I am ok with people doing A HREF links, but there is no way (that I know of) for me to prevent the IMG tag links without also breaking A HREF links. Just use the link in that entry. That being said - I don't "get" any of them.

OK, I saw the pretty pictures and stopped reading the silly words. :P That explains why some can't get it- server congestion. Theremight be some IP related stuff, to. OK, I'll slap my wrist and sit in the corner. I'll see if I can locate the images on the pages, that should work for anyone. Where they are: Paranoia - first row, second column The rules - second row, first column And if you don't get the jokes in all the other ones, well, don't feel bad. Even I don't get all the jokes.

My wife is always commenting about my paranoia...I tell her I wouldn't be paranoid if the government would stop listening to my thoughts! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
