Going by a lot of threads I post in and link a picture some people will see it and some won't!
Does anybody know why this happens?
I've also seen it with other users where someone has said they can't see their image but I can.

Here is an example where somebody can't see the image, if you can't see it the link is underneath.

I often can't see an image and twitter embeds seem to be a thing but I just see a blank post?

Your image host might be insecure (ie. not https), a few browsers have updated recently to block insecure content on pages.

For your above images i had to go into my site settings and enable insecure content before I could see the image.

Chrome here and no image. I used to find find posting pictures here a hit & miss pain too. The 'foolproof' method I have now is...

1) Upload to imgur
2) Right click the picture when it shows on imgur
3) Select "copy image address"
4) Paste that into the Image URL box from the piccy icon here.
