OK, I turned some attention to this and had a play in my Firewall. I changed one setting and the images appeared!
If you use ZoneAlarm, there's a few things that you can do. Choose one that suits you best:
1. click on the "Privacy" tab then click on the "Ad-Blocking" Custom button. Remove the check from the "Banner/Skyscraper ads" option. OR
2. click on the "Privacy" tab then click on the "Ad-Blocking" Custom button. Under "Ad Void Control", select "A box I can mouse over to get the ad to appear".
EDIT: Also remove the check from the "Animation" option and you'll get animated emoticons... Something else I didn't realise I was missing!
I use the second option, cause it loads pages quicker and I can choose to ignore the images I don't want to view (such as signatures). For those I do want to view, I just move my mouse over them and they appear.
Note that I still have the IE6 Pop-up blocker enabled.
