The gibberish characters stem (usually) from a mistranslation of certain characters between different computer systems (or the software running on them). Google the terms ASCII & UTF character sets for a detailed description of how computers represent characters internally. Most translate the common characters like letters & numbers just fine, but out in the "weeds" of nonprintable characters and symbols like #$)(_-+@*$"', etc, there can be wrong translations.
The symptom of you mentioning Classic vs Modern points out those two software systems (most likely) interpret the same data differently - thus, display it differently.
This problem wouldn't be related to pictures not loading. Photobucket, for example, (a popular place people have loaded pictures for years) recently cracked down on 3rd party hosting (or displaying of pictures) since they don't want to have the burden of storing everyone's pictures, if you aren't going to their website and looking at them there - where they can sell ads and make money off the viewing of the ads.

In some ways, the increasing difficulty of seeing pictures, as you asked, is coming from the taming of the Wild West Internet. Everyone is putting up more barbed-wire fences around their free services trying to figure out more ways of squeezing a dollar.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor.
