This might be a problem with the website you are trying to view. Check the site on another computer. A ? often means that the picture/video cannot be found.

Pictures are not handled by the QuickTime plug-in. Are you sure this is not Flash that is not working? Make sure Flash handling by the QuickTime plug-in is turned off in System Preferences->QuickTime->Advanced->Mime Settings->Miscellaneous File Formats (or simply press the "Use Defaults" button).

What browser are you using? I had a similar problem with Firefox. It was supposed to use a particular extension to handle Flash videos, but it was not using it. I ended up wiping out its profile and re-doing it (after backing up the important files in it, such as bookmarks, cookie settings, etc.).
