The following code is a good starting point. Just add it to your functions.php file.

function show_any_post_status($queryVars) {
	$queryVars->query_vars['post_status'] = 'any';
	return $queryVars; // Return our modified query variables
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'show_any_post_status');

There are a number of issues with this code depending on your theme and particular situation. There is no way to show a particular combination of post statuses, like ‘publish’ and ‘future’. So this code shows ALL of them, including drafts (but not Trash).

The thumbs are missing in both browsers. FireFox just ignores the missing thumb, while IE shows the red X. When using timthumb, the src attribute should point to an image file, but here it is blank. This is what is creating the problem.

It’s difficult to help without seeing the code that is generating the content. Are you using a specific theme? Or is this code that you wrote yourself?

Because WordPress already has executed the original query for the page before it reaches your query_posts() call, you are nearly doubling the number of database calls made using this method. I suggest you check out this short article for a more efficient way to do achieve this goal.

The simplest way to do this is by placing the following code in your current theme’s functions.php file. I cover it in me detail in an article i wrote a little while back, Allowing WordPress Contributors to Upload Files.

if ( current_user_can('contributor') && !current_user_can('upload_files') )
	add_action('admin_init', 'allow_contributor_uploads');

function allow_contributor_uploads() {
	$contributor = get_role('contributor');
	$contributor->add_cap('upload_files');
}
