It appears I am no longer getting pics that are included in posts. And yesterday there were a couple of posts that had NOTHING but the name of the poster. WTF?

It appears some pic that should be in posts all of a sudden do not show up . What could cause this? Also a few posts had no content at all when I went to look at the post. Only the title and a blank area but obviously other people saw the post because they replied. Any help?

Looking at your history, besides this Thread I see only 1 post in July and 6 in June. The last Thread you started was in March. All the posts have data to read.

Not referring to my posts. These are posts started by some other people I just clicked on to read and the post were either blank or you could tell there was to be a pic which did not show on my end. Strangely other people responded to the post so clearly they could see the entire post.???

Try using something else besides Chromebook to read those posts. I've never had such a problem with Chrome or Firefox.

I agree. I've never had a problem in the 19 years on this forum. Rechecked just a few minutes ago and it appears I am getting no pics that should be included in posts from others.This just started today and Nothing has changed on my end that I know of. I've been on this HP Chromebook for several years with no problems. I'm away from home at the moment and won't be back till end of month to use my other computer.

I think I just figured this situation out. I am in England at the moment and my IP address shows I'm "out of country". This must have just been discovered and now the owner has disavowed me of receiving pics. What a pi$$er

The only reason you would not be able to see pictures, and also some other functions not work, is if you're on a VPN that is flagged by our network team as having been used for previous abuse. This does not mean you were identified as the problem but rather your VPN service was used by someone else.

This is not anything new as it has been done for some time now.
