It looks fine to me...that's from tank's signature and it should be a little purple smilie. I'm using firefox too. Perhaps you need to update your browser or check your computer for malware?

How interesting. It may be that the ISP you are using has caused problems at image shack and they have banned all the users. I'd drop an email to image shack as they are pretty helpful people.

Internal then... Which is somewhat weird, since you deleted the temps. They are a somewhat common cause of image failure... Can your computer display that image type at all..? Try opening another image with the same file extention (.gif, was it?)
Can be some file association messup...

all images show fine... as long as they're not hosted on imageshack...
even gifs.

Have you tried resetting your network adapter? Possibly even reinstalling it..?
I'm pretty sure it's a soft problem, but that second measure mentioned should take care of faulty drivers, IPs and connections on your PC's side

It would appear that the issue is a change of policy with imageshack http://sharethefiles.com/forum/viewtopi ... 9&t=189929 (http://sharethefiles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=189929)
