Okay, I can see you are accessing the group through google. That won't
work for photos. This is "usenet" (aka newsgroups, as opposed to yahoo
or other web based groups). Usenet is an old convention that the
powers that be (ISPs, microshaft, aol etc) don't care about anymore
because it doesn't make them any money.
You should access usenet directly. Microshaft's Outlook Express (OE)
or Ourtlook can do it although as a newsreader OE is about 12 years
out of date and clumsy. You will be able to see some photos but not
all usung OE (unless you get a third party "plug in" but it's not
worth it as modern newsreaders do a much better job in many ways)
You may find more background here as well as some useful links:
