Thanks for The Oracle. Life interfering with my FReeQ time and it sure helps to try and keep up.

As of 8:58EST using Firefox the HRC/Byrd meme is broken for me. The other images in The Oracle are ok. Strange thing, I can copy image location and enter into a new tab in my browser and it displays. I can try to reply to your post within FR with your meme link and the image crashes in “preview”. I wonder if FR’s html is causing some miscommunication with the outside servers the image is located on?

Same thing happened with yesterday’s memes. The common denominator is the web domain of the links to the memes you’re using: https ://cdn.qmap.pub/images/

“cdn” is

“Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) offered by Amazon Web Services. Content delivery networks provide a globally-distributed network of proxy servers which cache content, such as web videos or other bulky media, more locally to consumers, thus improving access speed for downloading the content.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_CloudFront

There are two CloudFront servers in San Jose and maybe the calls for those memes has gone over the contract service totals, ie, overwhelmed capacity. Just a guess.

Why some can see them while others can’t may be due whatever part ot the country they live and other factors. Gets way more complex than that(including “blacklisting” by any of the parties involved), but as deep as I want to guess on or feebly explain.

Sadly, more work for you, but wash the “cdn” away by uploading to one of the reliable free image hosting sites like i.postimg.cc and get this link to use:

Instead of the link you used:

https://cdn.qmap.pub/images/5c15e42b4bed2355fe8917d50ddb778d6d8a002d1d4590b1e7918ceef3e97531.jpg

See if that helps.

This may explain some of the erratic reports I’m reading, and getting myself, about pictures not displaying, not just yours, getting warnings (blacklisting) ect

As I post this the two links immediately above go outside of FR and display the image ok.
