I will not ask whether it does not get cold in space, but I am curious whether transformation into space lizards is a common occurrence and concern. Interesting view backwards... hopefully they outrun it. Or is this way of signalling you're on to a new diorama set up?

I'm so sorry to hear that Diana, everything seems to be working fine on my end so I highly suspect that it has something with the Fotki photo hosting site itself? Please try this post again and if some of the photos are still not showing up than please try clicking on the first photo itself (if it's still working) hopefully it will take you directly to that photo in my Fotki Folder and you should be able to view the rest photos from there.

It didn't work. I clicked on the first image, which worked, but on the "Next" page the image was still broken.

I don't know why some work and some don't. But I assume it has to do with my work's network/firewall settings, because many YouTube videos are also blocked. And since many seem to be visiting the board during work hours () I assume there will be others affected.

If you use the built in image hosting feature you'll be on the safe side. You can upload as many images as you want, three images at a time.

Now back to the post.

In the test post, Image 1 is a link. 2, 3, 4, and 5 all display as they should.

The Star Patrol is probably trying to jam the transmission.

Or perhaps it's time to switch to either Flickr or 23hq.com for your photo hosting.

Units of Star Patrol Squadron 13, including scout ship FS-009 Edward D. Wood Jr., have assisted in an attack by combined space forces on the RPV Jolly Rogers, a suspected space pirate vessel believed to be under the command of a notorious and mysterious vandal of the void known as Aeron. Having suffered considerable damage in the encounter, the space forces withdraw, leaving the shattered hulk of the pirate vessel adrift and ablaze.

Yes: Test photo 1 shows only as a link. 2,3,4,5 display properly.

I am able to embed the image from Test Photo 1 using the [ img ] tags:

I would suggest you try linking to a smaller version of the image. I believe the horizontal size of the images you've linked to is 1400 px. The maximum size allowed by the forum software (without displaying the "Click to see full size" text) appears to be 800 px in width. If you select the 800 px size to insert, the forum may handle it better. Sometimes the extra processing required to resize larger images results in display issues.

Do any of these 1-5 options work?

If any of these options do work than I can go back and edit that post.

These other options didn't work back in 2017 when I first joined Fotki so I just went with what I thought worked.

Only option 4 works for me.
In the original post I am now only not seeing images 2, 4 and 8.

And great continuation of the story! I'm not much of a reader (not for fun anyway), but I really enjoy your little comics.

The only one that didn't work for me was option 1 -- just a link. (But, that was already covered.)

davidd wrote:Another possibility, which is an issue on Flickr - if you "replace" the image on the hosting site, the URL actually changes. This means if you link to a photo, but then later replace the image on the photo hosting site, the link in your post becomes invalid. In the case of Flickr, replacing the image on Flickr necessitates replacing the image link anywhere you have that image posted.

This is probably not the case with your photos, however, since the links continue to work even when the image is not visible.
