GIF Images Are Gone

Hi!
I noticed last month that my collection of 'emoticons' was gone. I thought it was a temporary quirk, but they're still not back.
Thanks in advance for any help! Here's the link:

Hm.. I can see them in the gallery. What do you mean "gone"?

Thanks for the reply, srijith!
The titles show on my screen, but not the images.
Now I'm really confused!! :?

*EDIT*
Either my firewall or my browser were blocking them. I've fixed it.

Let me guess.. disabled showing of pictures from other than the original server?

Where is that setting?

I'm still trying to diagnose my inability to see my own originals regardless of the size of image uploaded. From my vantage point, this is a problem for every image in pbase.com/patsysj, where the galleries are more or less chronological and where I could at one time see all my originals. Where is the setting you refer to?

Thanks for your help.

This is how it goes. When you upload an image to pbase, it tries to create three versions of the image (other than the original) - small, medium and large. The dimension of small = 160 x scaled_height, that of medium = 400 x scaled_height and that of large = 800 x scaled_height.

Now, the problem is, if your originally uploaded image is only of the size 800 x some_value, there is no way pbase can make a large version of the image since large is same as the original (800 x some_value)

Example : http://www.pbase.com/image/16042677
This image's original size is 800 x 534. The width (800) is already the width of the size large. Hence original = large. So large version is not produced. Hope that clarifies things.
