Pics with red x in posts

[Rammy]

I have a question. While reading some old posts on some of the forums, Ive noticed when people have posted pics, all I see is the thumbnail and a red X over it. Does this mean it was deleted? Removed by an administrator?
Just wondering if anyone else has seen something like this or its just my browser?

I’ve noticed this too but never asked...

Probably was a link( like to photo bucket which is no longer ) and photo was deleted or web page deleted.

Oh ok. Wondered why there wasnt a pic there.

That or a hotlink to a Goggle Images image that was copyrighted.

I had not considered those possibilities. Mainly I thought it could be my browser blocking the pics somehow since other posts the pics showed ok.

I’ve found that it’s older pages. For example, SBC’s 2015 posts. All those pics are unavailable...

I kinda wondered why the pics were X'd out. Makes sense. Too bad, though, some of them seemed like interesting photos to look at.
