If you are using Chrome and are no longer are seeing images.

...I think this move forcing Chrome to embargo embedded simple HTTP content "in the name of internet security" is a backdoor to force everybody to pay for services, be it image hosting, certificates, or pro web development....

Thank you. Took the words...

And I'll bring up my bigger problem with Chrome - the mothership.

And Chrome's old mantra, "Don't be evil"? Long, long since abandoned. They've surpassed MS by many a lightyear in this department.

Yes! Need a new browser. What's a good one to use? Also the DOJ is filling a huge anti trust lawsuit against Google today.

I use Mozilla Firefox almost exclusively across all three OS platforms in the house. Frankly it's a little clunky - I cannot fault Chrome and Chromium's speed - but the clunkiness comes with its oodles of built-in privacy and security protection. It performs poorly on a couple of maintenance sites I need to access every so often, and Safari seems to handle those fine.

In full disclosure, I use Chrome and Chromium... on my layout. It's a totally closed network with no connection to the public internet. It's the default browser on the Raspberry Pi 4 that runs the layout as well as the two dozen Android tablets (...obviously...) being used for local control panels. That said, I really do hate Android, as Google makes it damned difficult to wrench control away from the mothership and all the crap in the background intended to redirect everything you do to them. Android tablets are frequently super-cheap to buy, I just pay for them in my time to undo the snooping garbage and the processor time it consumes.

Methinks Google has more far more lawyers than even the DOJ, so, good luck with that...

And even if Google is found guilty, the penalty would likely be petty cash for Google.

And I'll bring up my bigger problem with Chrome - the mothership. Don't think for a nanosecond that Alphabet/Google isn't tracking and recording the finest details about your browsing activities through their browser. Why would they bother? Because they can. And do. The vast unwashed masses comprising the browsing public don't know, or care, which is why Google gets away with it.

Bottom line to both situations? Don't use Chrome.   

Exactly!  That is why I have been for years using the Seamonkey browser.

I have yet to find any gateway or application anywhere else that is blocking those images except Railwire.

My site is hosted on a local ISP, which I like because I can literally walk down the street and yell at them.

But, checking every place that those images are posted - my own websites (which are not https), Nscale.net, trainboard, etc.    Here's what I'm seeing.

My own websites - no problem with Chrome.

Nscale.net - no problem with Chrome, all good

Google searches - still show all my images, which is rather amazing.

Railwire - images completely dissapear with no tag or trace.

Trainboard - this is interesting - images disappear but [IMG] shows in the post so at least you are aware there's something there you can't see, so you're sort of prompted to check your security settings if you want to see it.

Trainorders - same thing, you have to unblock - but there's a tag there to show there at least was an image.

So check into that much?   Why doesn't it at least show a tag there that there's an image its not displaying?  Right now it's nothing.

That is most interesting. There certainly must be a technical issue at work here, one worth investigating (not that    needs more on his plate).

Does it make any difference whether or not you are logged into the TB forum when you are trying to view those images?
