Well put.
I too am using the now unsupported XPPRO and Chrome and cannot see pics on this site.
However, I don't have any problems using other sites that use HTTPS specifically numerous banking sites I frequent.
I do have other boxes to use including Win 10, but I prefer XP
It's a shame that the programmers at IB won't/can't fix this.

It's a shame that the few XP users continue to ignore the fact that all major support has been dropped and that these issues are only going to grow. Using XP is at your own risk and also use with the understanding that all major support has been dropped and things may not work. Not viewing pictures is really the least of concern. What about security for an unpatched operating system running unpatched browsers?! Probably not the best idea to be accessing bank information and other sensitive information on top of that.

And it's not just "now" unsupported. It has been unsupported for some time. If you don't like that major support for XP is gone, contact Microsoft (and good luck). Because it's not really a discussion or debate for this forum.

When a thread is locked, it's generally not acceptable to create a new thread to revisit the discussion. The discussion continues to turn into a debate about using XP despite the fact XP is an outdated operating system that Microsoft no longer supports and thus major support is virtually gone.
