In either case, IE...rightly so...sees it as a security threat:

"It's a security feature - IE is determining via "MIME sniffing"
that the file being served is not, as Google suggests, an image/gif file but
is something else, so it immediately ignores it; which also explains why it
doesn't get as far as being saved in the TIF either. While it might seem
annoying, this protection is there to prevent malicious code being treated
as a benign binary type. Google really need to fix those images to have the
correct extension, or fix their MIME header serving so it's based on actual
content rather than the file extension."

Most of you probably see it because you have your browser security turned wayyy down; or no anti-virus or malware protection turned on.

I know this has turned defensive...but I have NEVER had this problem elsewhere; but it's me and my 6 computers fault.

Um...sorry, but no.
IE is broken. It's just a png image. PNG is an internet standard, and has been for a while. It's all over the place, and is becoming more prevalent all the time. It's the native image format for OS X (like when taking a screen shot). You can hate or like Mac, but OS X is not doing it wrong. When I export RAW camera images from Aperture, I use png by default.

This is just another example of Microsoft handling standards in their own, arrogant, broken way. Trust me, the ability to view png does not equate to having browser security turned too far down. I think Microsoft has gotten overly paranoid because they've introduced far more security problems than they have solved.

But IE does equate to broken. Always has for one reason or another.

Yup.

Pic opens fine with FireFox and I am behind a firewall and a couple of anti-virus programs.

I think the grey baffle looks awesome.

Again...for the record...I see the other 10,000 pics here; and the 1,000,000 pics at AVS. But yes...by all means; this is my issue.

Easy Francis, no one is saying this is your issue.

10 points if you can guess the movie reference.

Stripes; how about a hard one next time?

It just opened for me with IE 8. Weird.

Here ya go: Apple - Safari - Browse the web in smarter, more powerful ways.
Runs on Windows too!


Really, I am doing nothing that is browser or OS specific. It's just an image in a an accepted standard internet format, hosted on MobileMe. And I can see it in Chrome.

To take OS X and Safari out of the equation, I brought up Windows XP Pro in a VM, and viewed the page with IE 7 and Firefox. They both render fine.

Oh well...don't know what it is

Could be my security programs.

That is more likely. Or your ISP is having DNS issues. Try changing your DNS host. Use google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

That's what I use. I got tired of all of ATT's constant DNS problems. Google DNS has been rock solid for me. I configure it at my router and forget about it.
