i'm having the same problem.  same symptoms described in this thread of the red X in IE and the blank square in Firefox.  when you click the box, the image does show.  i have 5 accounts with my host and this is the only one it won't work on.  i even uninstalled and reinstalled Joomla v1.5 two times and it still doesn't work.  i even did the 755 file permission trick and that didn't work.   :'(

EDIT: Works now after fooling around half of my Sunday trying to figure it out.  Solution, upgrading to the Pro version which uses a different thumbnail generating engine.  :P

I have had the same problem. I solved:

Files need to be chmod 644 and folders need to be 755

hi folks!

maybe i have a solution for the standard version!
this is how it worked for me:

my folder where my images to display are stored is "{basepath}/images/spieler"

so i opened the file "{basepath}/plugins/content/plugin_jw_sig/showthumb.php"
there i found the following code part (should be line 15):

i kicked "stories/":

..all works fine now...
eh...ok the design sucks in ie7, but this should be an easy to solve css issue  8)

hope this also works for sb out there dealing with the same problems
