Which ones aren't working?

I also miss some of the images using Firefox on my Win 10, but not as much of a problem on my old Win 7. Or if I use other browsers on the Win 10.

But it would be helpful to know which files and images

There was a forum outage a few months ago and a day or two of attachments couldn't be restored from backups. The post are presents but the attachments are broken (and missing).

Its funny...for a few days now, I can't load any images that are forum attachments.
Actually they do load, eventually, but some take a very long time.

I click the attachment thumbnail...the screen goes darkish, and an image loads.
Or doesn't load, as I am trying to say.

Can you tell us which files are a problem for you, maybe we can track down what went wrong, or if anything did happen, and we can also log a complaint with the hosting company.

Ok, it looks like thinks start to get back on track at post #10588. Previous to this, there were several posts with missing attachments (photos) and bad downloads (PDF).

There was some sort of glitch back in June of 2017, don't remember what it was.

Any way, I downloaded the pdf from post #10591 just fine.

In case it matters, Mac OS X 10.11.6, Safari 11.0.2
