There seemed to be a few questions lately regarding the photos not showing up. Thought I would do a little troubleshooting to find a workaround, and provide some possible solutions to the other issues.
If you are having issues uploading your photos, see Dangler's post here;
Your Photos
Albums:
While you can click on the title link to see them, they are not showing as a thumbnail preview.
JPG format allows for the largest sized photos, but it seems the only formats that will show a preview are .PNG and .GIF format. Both of these will show thumbnails according to my trial, but allow different file size and dimensions than .JPG format.
JPG has a file size limit of 97.7 KB, and no listed dimension limits, so long as it is below that size.
All others have a limit of 19.5 KB, and limited to 620x280 (or, whichever is smaller, I believe).
If you want your photos to show, use a picture editing program, resize, and save under one of those formats before uploading them.

The photo uploader glitches every now and then, and will show "attachment 12345" instead of the photo. Re-attaching the photo (edit post, and upload it again) usually fixes this issue.
If you can't see other peoples photos, make sure an extension or add-on isn't causing issues. Disable any ad blocker extensions first, and see if that does it. If not, disable all of them, and try. If that works, it's an extension causing the issue, and the culprit can be found by enabling them one-by-one, until the issue resurfaces.
Disable it, replace it, kick it, banish it, or take it out back for a stern talking to. Your choice.

Or maybe that's me this time.
