Do not know if this is the case for all but I went in to options and for some reason the hide images box was checked? Unchecked and all images are loading.
CHECK OPTIONS FOR HIDE IMAGES FAGGOTS!!
CHECK IF HIDE IMAGES HAS BEEN CHECKED IN OPTIONS FAGGOTS!!
Options top right below your tool bar, click on it scroll down to hide images and uncheck box. dont know why but mine was checked and i did not do it. all images loading now!!
its above those options, right above color id's
side note I used the host file change and that did not work. dont know if that had any thing to do with the fix when i discovered the hide images was checked in options. I know I did not check it myself.
I have all images loading now
