7. One reason that I ran into...

...is that your browser can block stuff that comes from a non-encrypted website.

I have my own website that I use for hosting pictures (got tired of Photobucket years ago), but the site doesn't have "https" in the URL, so the some of the pics I post will appear as broken links in the context of a DU page. But if you right-click and open the pic in its own tab, it works fine.

I think you have to add an exception in your browser (I use Firefox) to show non-https content.

Alternately, you broswer security settings may be cranked so high that it's blocking content from outside the main site you're trying to visit.
