5. I told you in the other thread to ALSO try right-click and Copy Image Link. I don't think you tried that

I was wrong about the "add .jpeg", but I did give you the alternative that worked and continues to work. It turns out that the link to the page is a different combo from the link to the image. My first suggestion was wrong and my second suggestion worked, which I proved by posting the image.

One of the fundamental principles of dealing with computer issues is to keep trying alternatives when they are offered or when you think of them. Another principle is to read guidance and documentation carefully if a first reading doesn't yield success.

Never use postimages. They throttle, you keeping being fooled by seeing the image, but almost nobody else does. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #7

Postimages throttles. Are you a premium member of it? Then you will always see it. If not, clear your browser cache. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #6

My two cents worth. usonian Oct 4 #13

postimages is deceptive. It will seem to work, for the poster, but not others Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #14

I can repost any that fail, but haven't had any gripes. Yet. usonian Oct 4 #15

The cure is to use imgur (free and don't even need to sign up) and ditch postimages. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #16
