All of a sudden remote images have stopped showing in preview. It worked yesterday, but not today.

I have to switch to preview in browser to see the images.

I'm working on mailers so they have to use full addressing to the images, not local.

Is there some sort of setting that keeps remote images from showing?

What is the URL to your Website?

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I am using zone alarm as my firewall and spyware terminator with clamAV. I have been using these for years along with html editor without an issue till yesterday. It only happened on one computer. If I point to images on my local machine, they show up in preview but not if I point directly to them on my server. My other computer still works fine showing all images.

If I point to images on my local machine, they show up in preview but not if I point directly to them on my server.

Any help will be appreciated.

Same thing happened to me a couple days ago, but somehow the program fixed itself and the image began appearing again.

I reset my internet explorer settings under options/advanced. Problem solved. HTML editor must use IE to preview.

Yes I believe it does as default browser, so maybe there was an IE update around then that caused issues?

Yes, it does use ie.

CCHTML editor uses the same Trident engine that IE uses to render previews. This is fine but users have to be aware of the quirks this introduces. I have installed and set up all the major browsers to use as test-beds; even though the internal preview is IE-based, I preview pages in as many other browsers as I can to ensure things render relatively the same. Designing pages solely for IE can result in some serious rendering issues when sites are viewed with other browsers. I am surprised how many people think it is OK that their site looks good in only IE because 'most people use' it; this is a bad assumption to make. I get annoyed if I visit a site only to find things really messed up and most people are the same. If you think people will stick around, or open IE and use that instead of their favourite browser just to view your site, the general concensus is, they won't. I won't unless I absolutely have to go to a site for a specific reason.

As for images; in general, the only reason images don't show up is because the links to them are wrong, that is, the images are not where the page thinks they are. If images are in a sub-folder on your local machine, they should be placed in the same sub-folder structure on the remote machine (server).

Another trap is letter case in file names; this is very important on linux-based servers because FILE.jpg will be seen as a different entity than file.jpg, file.JPG, FILE.JPG or any other combination of letter case. Windows servers don't care about such things but Linux servers do and this traps a lot of people, especially if editors insert images with different letter case than the image file is named with. For example, the file name is file.jpg (I always user all-lower-case filenames to avoid issues) and editor X inserts the image with the name file.JPG for some reason. On a Windows server, fine, but on a Linux server this image will not show up. As mentioned, naming things all the same case is a good practice and can save headaches later on.

I am having a similar problem. For some reason my images won't show up in either preview or live. I made a few text changes to one page and lost the background image (no changes were made to the background-image tag at all). Now I noticed that there a few pages like that. The code doesn't seem to recognize the file location.

http://www.joysudduth.com. Look at the bio page, resume, and contact pages. I changed text in the bio and contact page, but not the resume page.

I'm a beginning HTML editor using HTML editor, build 305

You might want to consider resampling or resizing those resume images a bit. They loaded in one big block for me and took several minutes of apparent nothing happening. On a slower connection that could pose a problem. The good news is all images on all pages showed up for me, though there could of course be images missing in smaller gaps that we wouldn't know were meant to be there anyway. if you could describe what you think is missing then we can confirm the issue.

Interestingly the site hung my browser after it was open about 5 minutes, which is strange as if had (as far as I know) finished loading long before. This may be an issue with my browser so I'm not pointing the finger at your site, which is very cool if this is one of your early efforts.
