There's a photobucket picture plugin for most browsers. It will help you see the pictures in that thread that are missing.

Ok cool so is all I need to replace is the door handles or should I replace all actuators as well

^ Don't replace anything until you remove the door panel to inspect. Although faulty latches, actuators, and handles are very common failures, often times in could be simple as a stuck latch or disconnected or broken latch rod clip. These two threads may not be specific to your issue, but the pics may be useful. Removing the glass run channel for better access and visibility described in the second link should be your first step after the panel is removed.
