Do you have access to a different browser? Safari or Opera, for instance?

It looks like you have an erfworld address in the address bar. Can you take a screenshot of http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0692.html?

He can't see any of the comics, either OOTS or erfworld.

What happens if you attempt to load the following link: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/images/B1VSeBHTJkNdzcIrzY3.jpg

Anyway, (as it says on the image, but you couldn't load), Erfworld is now at erfworld.com, so try that (doesn't solve the problem for OOTS, but if you were just reading erfworld that might help you)

I think you need this thread:

Site issues.

Off the top of my head, it might be a problem with your browser, which appears to Mozilla Firefox. I don't have that so can't help (but, wow, you have a lot of spammy toolbars)

Do you have Adblock installed? You might have accidentally set a filter that blocks images from thbis site..

I have no program called adblock installed however I find that when I search for OOTS on internet explorer I can get the comics so that's good.

But I have been using FireFox long before this happened, there may have been an update that doesn't like this site, and yet I can easily see the erf world image that random posted. Nothing else anyone else has tried works, for now I'll have to settle with internet explorer but I still wonder what's going on. No other website I frequent has experienced any changes.

Try a force-refresh (ctrl-f5)? How about clearing your cache?

Granted, if this has been a problem for three weeks, it probably won't do anything, but still...

Maybe try reinstalling your browser if it really doesn't work?

It can't be a Firefox-wide problem, cause I can see the comics just fine.

Sorry, not a tech guy myself, all I can think of it the generic responses.

You really have a real bunch of bars installed, try to get rid of them unless you really need them, who knows one of them might cause trouble.
Try deactivating the expansions you have installed one by one. If deactivating one causes the site to work, then check if theres anything in its settings that might cause it (or keep it off if you don't need it)

Go to Options. Look at the Content tab. Where it says "Load images automatically", click on the Exceptions button, and make sure nothing from giantitp is there.

If there was then it only affected you--I've been using Firefox since version 1.something and I've never had a problem like that on this website. Currently viewing it just fine in 3.5.5.
