Pics on Tucson Cox news pages.
The pictures are almost all replaced by a white X in a black box. Started about 3 days ago.

Hmm, your the second person to report this, They said it was the Las Vegas homepage. Can you post the link your going to and maybe a screen shot? My cox.net is working fine and Im in RI.
- I don't know how to post either of your requests.
Then Im not sure how to help. Maybe its something local going on with the page. But it almost sounds like something is blocking flash on your PC, but without being able to replicate or see it, then I can only guess. Maybe someone else might have a better idea. Sorry.
I am having the same problem. Suddenly homepage photos are just blank boxes with a "?". What has happened? How or when can it be fixed?

I don't know how to post either of your requests.That link works fine for me. Do all the pictures have X's? The bottom one is a flash based ad, not a JPG. Screenshot below;
- It appears the problem is western region only. I went to the LV sites and no pics.

At first I thought it was a browser issue, because when I tried it in firefox or IE it didn't work, but did in Chrome. But then I deleted my temp files and the problem carried over to chrome too. So I must have of had them cached. Let me do some digging, see what I can find out. F12 time.
::Edit:: Seems like the issue are the new pictures put up don't have Picture ID data. Comparison between 2 pictures, one the broken one, and one a working one.
I best guess is who ever runs the site redid the site a couple days ago and copied the pictures but in the process corrupted the Picture meta data. See this article and this article. PING Moderator. This needs to be escalated if not already.
