This is a javascript problem (actually a problem that the page author made). Javascript in pages intended to be accessed by non-javascript enabled browsers must be commented out. This is accomplished by adding "<!--" after, "language=javascript> and "-->" just before </SCRIPT>. You accomplished the same thing by deleting the javascript material. . > sometimes when I load a page (pictures are off) then decide to look . > at the pictures, since the stupid webmasters didnt write any text for . > instance - anyway, I download pictures and they seem to download, but . > for some reason not all will display, they just show as a red box?

I typically use Arachne with images on and will get the "red" boxes also. For the iname.com web site, after I commented out the javascript, the page loaded but the blocks marked "image" appeared in dull green. I right clicked on the large block and an image was brought up on a separate screen. I "CTRL-LEFT-CLICKed" back to the previous page and got a red square for the image. Hit "INSERT" and all images appeared. This was done with the cache virtually empty as I had just started Arachne to check your problem. (I have my cache on the RAM disk and resize the ram disk each time I leave Arachne, thereby deleting everything on the RAM disk.) HTH and to let you know that you are not alone with these problems.
