Viewing pictures in the forum

[Gary D]

Hi Gordie. I'm not sure this is the place to ask but here goes....
Not being computer saavy, I have noticed that I can only see some of the images that the PM folks are linking to their posts. (I can see Guy Herricks images but not Joe Hudsons).
Is this a normal situation that others experience? As an example, everyone of Joe Hudsons photos are shown as a outlined box with a red "X" in it. Is this kind of thing associated with me trying to view a Mac image on a PC or is it something else like my computer isn't set up for viewing JPEG images or something. Sorry to sound so naive about these things, but I'm quite ignorant when it comes to computers.

Thanks,

Gary Daugherty

Hi Gary,

Can you provide some links for me to check out?
Also, what web browser you are using

Thanks!

Okay, I believe I've found the issue: Joe links his pictures from timelinesforum.com another figure website, and these images are hosted there and subsequently may not be viewable to your side of the web.

Thanks for looking into this Gordie. I was waiting to get back to the office on Monday to send you the browser info and link examples you were asking for. I know that Timelines is blocked by our I.T. guys where I work due to security reasons (potential virus's or something) so what you say makes sense.
I guess I will just have to wait until I get home from work to my home computer where my security level is a little more relaxed.

I really appreciate you looking into this and solving this little mystery.
