Why can't i see some pictures on forum pages, I see only a one line box at the picture position which typically reads "Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to see fullscreen". Its very frustrating when the content is just what I am looking for, any advice/help.
Thanks, Sad Sad Sad
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

Most likely the person did not host the photo on this site but used Photobucket or another free photo host and the photo is now dead.

This is an ongoing problem and a good reason why you should host ALL VW-related photos on this site only.

I was having the same issue. I knew that some of the pictures that showed, "Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to see fullscreen" still existed but I still wasn't able to be see them.

Solution For me: I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. I have AdBlock installed to block all the annoying banner ads on the internet. For some reason it also blocks pictures from outside sources on The Samba. Adding http://www.thesamba.com/ to my "Stop blocking ads" list fixed it. I don't mind The Samba ads either, they are actually useful VW realated ads. Hopeful it helps.

Cheers
