To: Cannoneer No. 4; Coop
Hey, thanks for the great photo/map, Cannoneer! That combination of sat photo overlaid with map info is really pretty good.

But that was so weird, trying to get that graphic to come up, but I think I've got a handle on what happened and I pinged Coop here to confirm it.

The URL I found in the properties box for both of the empty image placeholders of your graphics in #119 and #121 are identical to the link you provided in #121. I tried two things, (1.)pasting that URL into the address bar and clicking on "Go", and (2.)clicking on the link in #121. In both cases, the website caused an automatic re-direct to their home page, http://threatswatch.org, which of course doesn't have the jpeg displayed.

I was finally able to bring up the jpeg by using method (1.), from the above paragraph, and then back surfing the URL until I got to a directory page and then worked my way forward until I arrived at your map (whew!).

Anyway, what I think happened was that the ThreatsWatch.org website is one of those places that is fussy about how their images are used and block re-directs of them when someone tries to call the graphic up by itself, absent the rest of the apporpriate ThreatsWatch.org webpage where they are displayed. You probably could see your copy of the image because you already had a copy of it stashed in your cache and your browser pulled it up from there.

Coop, can you see the photo/map that Cannoneer posted in #119 and #121? If you can't, just follow the directions I gave above. It's worth a viewing.

Again, thanks for the excellent map, Cannoneer.

Nope. But I'll go look at it.
