Do you see a little box? That’s what I get when I try to post a picture.

I use Duck Duck Go as a search engine through an MS Edge browser. At least I think that’s what’s happening, and I will get the same reaction in the display attempt- a tiny box denoting some kind of incompatibility. So, I will open an older browser (Google Chrome hiss boo) and have success. I’m on a Dell laptop right now, and my dead laptop was an HP which did the same thing. I think it has something to do with the Windows 10 Home version to be quite honest.

The incompatibility is something to do with Twitter and the selected browser or operating system that’s used.

I wish I could be of more help.

I do like that Twitter does the heavy work regarding the html and it seems to be compatible with Free Republic’s system because the preview works, but then once posted and viewed in the thread that damn tiny box is displayed. Doh!

Can you send me just the URL? I've noticed sometimes that I'll post a picture from a mobile device and I'll get that box. I think on some websites on mobile devices the URL for the photos is coded to work on mobile devices. Not sure if that makes sense. When I run into that problem on my phone/Kindle/tablet and I change to posting it from my laptop, it works.

I hope that makes sense. I'm not a techie. LOL
