How do I view photo's in messages?

You may also be having the results I've experienced, ......

... that on first viewing the photos don't open, but are visible when I later return to the site? Don't know why?

Re: You may also be having the results I've experienced, ......

I'm bumfuzzled by this. When viewing the source code of posts with images, the source code shows accurate HTML to display the images. Why they don't can only be explained by some browser caching issues or a firewall blocking them. (I recall someone accessing WC from a military site with strong security experiencing such issues.) 

I'm wondering if some of the images are very large, and on a slower connection, they are taking a long time to load? That may explain why they are visible later on. Maybe? Do you see any kind of icon placeholder indicating where an image should appear, but the browser for whatever reason cannot display it?

Question: Do you see the ads on the right? They are images technically no different in the HTML that displays them from those people include in their posts.

First viewing usually displays a small box, and ads .......

...on the R appear just fine. I do have sufficient download speed for most video applications, and usually use Firefox for browser. This site also often drops my name/email for access, and Save Password setting "Yes"disappears as well?

Re: Viewing photos

I'm not able to see photos and I've tried on Chrome, Microsoft Edge & Internet Explorer.

I can only assume it's an issue with this website. All other sites work fine.

when I replied to the previous post.  Very frustrating.
