• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Sir, your pictures will not expand for me.

This is an ongoing challenge for many members. The images system has been messed up for quite some time on the forum with no sign of hope for the future.

The best way to improve the situation. Is for the poster to select thumbnail when uploading a photo.

I think the Admins said (if I understood correctly) its not a size issue.

You are correct Peter. SIZE used to be one of the issues, but the latest software won't allow uploads to exceed set limits so size hasn't been an issue for a while now.
 
using this link as example

If I click on any of the images, I get the dreaded black screen & eventually 'image not found'

But if I right-click 'open in new window' or 'open link in new tab' it works, I can see the image.
Is this behavior normal? Is it diagnostic at all to the PITA issue? What is it about THESE images or posts that drive this behavior? Or maybe that the million dollar question.
ps - I tried the same procedure on several pictures in same thread, not exhaustive, but seems like all of his pics fall in this category. Surely there has to be a common denominator
