@Nitefly - do you get to see this beauty from @RaymondLin  or is it one of your blank / blue boxes?

Nitefly

@TTony - I see a saucy-looking blue guitar!

I'll have a look to see if I can find a thread with a little blue box...

TTony

And this one @Nitefly?

Nitefly

@TTony yes, perfect!

That first one was a test that you didn't have something that was blocking any image.

The second one was the same pic hosted on imgur, so you *can* see pics from there.

If you find a bluebox one somewhere, I'll see if there's anything odd with that might cause the issue ... but it looks like you're actually OK (assuming that whoever has added the pic has added it properly)

Nitefly

OK thanks for that TT - I've just had a quick wizz round the Classifieds and in Gear, and I now can't find a single little blue box!  Whatever was stuck is clearly now un-stuck - until the next time!

As far as I can determine, I first started having problems with Imgur (including not even being able to upload pics to it) when we changed broadband supplier to Vodafone, and got a new router.  

Hey-ho, and thanks again.

Aha, the game's afoot, @TTony - in Gear -> Guitars there's a thread "For the love of Bigsby" by guitarcookie.

I can't see any pics, not even my little blue boxes, BUT if I quote the first post, I can see Imgur URLs, with the format https~~~jpg - presumably others can see the pictures?

TTony

@nitefly ...

Using Chrome on a Win10 PC, I see the pics fine.

What do you see below?

Nitefly

Nothing at all! (Chromebook).

@pete624000 - actually, your post didn't *fully* work.  You pasted the link to the pic, but I've pasted the pic into the thread.

You need to "copy image address" and click the "attach image/file" button here, then paste the copied address into the pop-up box.

That then displays the image in the thread and saves people clicking links - which some will either have blocked and others will be reticent to do, given that it's not at all clear where the link will take them ...
