Thanks SM.   I'd had trouble getting their images to show up.

Yep, no problem. I understand Imageshack had some of the same problems back in 2009 & maybe it's cleared up once again by now, but it just seems like you can't visit half of the sites out there (or atleast the ones funded by ads) without running into some kinda bug.

In the past year I've had to ban myself from visiting PeopleOfWalmart, the Cheezburger sites, TV Tropes & the SomethingAwful forum, just to name a few; because of security warnings or issues that would come up.

Sometimes the internet just seems like such a scary place..  [ashamed3]
