What happens is, there is a pointer to the location of the image. Sometimes, the image is not correctly uploaded and the location remains empty. The empty location is indicated by a red ‘x’ which is nothing but a default view.

I do understand that a red ‘x’ denotes an empty location. But what I am wondering is, if one image can be located why not the other. And yeah, the issue is not only with the images I uploaded. The updates that come on our wall when someone else uploads the image also show the same problem.

The problem is, if facebook doesn’t load as https (secure site) the photos cannot be viewed and appear as blank pages or the ‘x’ that you were talking about. The ‘xx’ peculiarity in the address that you were talking about is an indication to this change. The issue will soon be resolved by facebook itself. What you are facing now is nothing but transitional problems. Keep patience for now.
