Answer: Four possibilities.

You have turned off images in your browser.
The site forgot to load the image.
The images are remote linked and the site hosting them is down.
The images are huge and take too long to download.

Of these alternatives the only one that is under your own control is the first. This option is the one that is most likely if you don't see images on any site and is unlikely if you see images on some sites but not others. How to check it depends on which browser you are using.

In Internet Explorer the option is in 'Internet Options' on the 'Advanced' tab and is called 'Show Pictures'.
In Firefox it is on 'Options' on the 'Content' tab where it is called 'Load Images Automatically'.
In Chrome it is in 'Options' on the 'Under the Hood' tab in 'Content Settings' and is the second option there labelled 'Images'. Chrome does have an 'Exceptions' option that allows images to de turned off on some sites and not on others.
In Opera it is in 'Preferences' on the 'Webpages' tab. WWhile Opera allows you to set a lot of preferences on a site by site basis, controlling whether images display or not can't be set by site.
In Safari it is in 'Preferences' on the 'Appearance tab where it is called 'Display images when the page opens.

If the browser is set to display and the images still don't appear then the cause will be one of the other three alternatives and it will be up to the owner of the site to correct the problem.
