The url (that is, the address) of each image is obfuscated to stop robots and web-scrapers from taking them. In some cases this also causes some certain browsers to stop loading the image before it’s ready for downloading. This leads to a “broken image” icon, even when the image is there to be loaded. Usually a right-click on the broken image, and then selecting “Load Image” or “Show Picture” (depending on your browser) will fix the problem.
