  I am assuming that none of you have deleted files from your media library. Have any of you recently installed anything like a “code cleaner” add on for your browser?

  Also: what country are you located in and what is your ISP? Some ISPs have mistakenly blocked our image servers from time to time, trying to block porn.

  Well, FB is stripping out images from all kinds of sites recently, that’s not a WP.com problem, it’s a FB issue.

  I’m ok now….. I’ve fixed things for the time being. Some images had been deleted from the library. Thanks all for your suggestions and help.

  As raincoaster pointed out, when an image is deleted from your Media Library it’s no longer on WordPress.com servers and cannot be displayed when browsers call for it. When the images are in your Media Library you can insert them into your posts and they will display when browsers call for them.

  (1) Are these missing images found in your Media Library ie. on WordPress.com servers? Or are they hosted on another site?

  (2) If they are hosted on another site that does not allow hotlinking the images will come and go or simply be gone or they will be l.inked to a stop hotlinking message.

  (3) If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode to disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
  a. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies ? http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  b. Have you tried updating the browser to the latest stable version? http://browsehappy.com/
