Two readers have emailed me saying they no longer see images in their daily BargainBabe.com email. Instead, they get a bunch of numbers and letters, like 224×300, which indicate the size of the photo they are supposed to be seeing!
Are you having this problem?
Please let me know by leaving a comment on this post! If this is widespread I want to get my tech helpers on it.
Thanks,

Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I can see the images just fine over here . . .
I can see some, but not all, of the pictures. From today’s email, I could see the veggie chips picture and the picture for this post, but none of the rest. Thanks for following up on that!
I also can see the veggie chips but the others I don’t see.
I can’t see them…I have to right click and download images myself. I have the funny message as well.
I too have lost the images to the daily newsletter.
Same here – only the veggie pic appears.
I’m also having problems seeing pictures, I think it started yesterday (Mon). As Alisha, today I just see the veggie chips picture.
I can see them just fine – using Gmail & Chrome for my browser.
I see only veggie chips. The others are only blank spaces.
I can see some but not all. Also, usually the image or image box hides the words so I can’t tell what the article is about.
I can’t see any of the main images anymore.
Crap! Sounds like this is a real problem. Thanks so much for the feedback. I’ll ask my tech guy to look into this. Thanks for your patience while we return the daily newsletter to its original glory!
also not seeing images, thought it might be because I hadn’t upgraded my yahoo mail yet.
I saw the veggie chips picture – but not the other ones….that has been happening for a few days.
All I get is a box overlaying the wording and the box has a red x in left hand corner. Some pictures come out here and there
Same here– I can see the veggie chips but all other pictures are just blank boxes with numbers
I only see the veggie chips also. All others don’t show up.
There have not been any image on your emails for the last couple of weeks. Just blank boxes with words & numbers.
I don’t see any images just the headlines of the articles and the crazy math numbers. When I click on an article the photos and images come up as always.
same as the others – see the veggie chips, not the others. Just subscribed recently and only had this problem for the past few days.
I can see just some. Today I can see only veggie chips.
I have not been able to see images in the email for the last few days.
I can only see the veggie chip picture.
I have had this problem for about 1 week. Today is the first day I have been able to see 1 picture (the chip picture), but not the others.
Just the veggie chips photo for me today as well and no pictures in the other emails for the past few days
Ditto on losing the images except for the veggies chips today. I use firefox and am not having problems with my other emails.
Ya gotta love technology.
I;m having the same problem…no images in the email, but if I connect to your web page, I can see some of them. Viewing with IE.
Viewing in IE8, I can only see the veggie chips. I have the same issue with Bargainsla.
CSS. veggies chips only and this has been a problem for awhile
I can always see the photos, but the fomat seems to be off since the photos always crowd the text into a narrow little column and in some cases actually cover the text. I can never really read your email in my inbox. I always have to click the link and come directly to your website.
Ditto–I just got a new monitor so I thought that might be the cause…but it hasn’t affected any other emails…
good luck!
I’m having problems w/pictures too. Also, same thing that is happening to Julie above (“the fomat seems to be off since the photos always crowd the text into a narrow little column and in some cases actually cover the text.”) :/
Ditto, I’ve had this problem for about a week or so.
I’m glad I’m not the only one… images just suddenly stopped coming through. Yes… please see if it can be fixed. Thanks.
i cannot see the images any longer
Wow! This is overwhelming. I can’t believe how many people are having problems seeing the images. I’m really sorry everyone! Working on fixing this asap.
Can only see veggie chips.
Yes…I have had the problem Julie is writing about…the photos are over lapping the text…I would have mention this earlier, but I thought you were aware…every now and then every thing oK…but it is happening more often
(Said in my cutesie voice)
It’s okay BargainBabe —
The tech problems don’t make you a bad person. (*grin*) And we LOVE you anyway!
@Julie Aw, shucks. Thanks Julie! I just want the email to look nice for everyone!
I don’t have a problem with seeing thepictures today but the last few emails I recieved didn’t show anything. Thanks!
I haven’t been having problems receiving the images, but I’ve been unable to edit my comment(s) the last couple of time I tried. All I got was a dark, blank screen.
@BB ~ I notified you via e-mail last December(!) I was having this problem. Much later, I wrote you about not being able to edit comments as EllieD has mentioned.
What I have found is it seems to be related to which browser I use. I don’t get the images with IE, but I do see them with FF, Chrome, and Safari. What have others found in this regard?
Count me in as the others have replied;
I was unable to view the images either.
I just thought I had a virus and ran a scan, lol.
It was only the past few days, however, today I am able to see the images 🙂
I can only see the first two images and the rest are numbers and letters. Thanks.
I just got a new computer. so I thought it was just me. I also can see the veggie pic but nothing else. thanks
still cannot see images…
cannot see images either…
