I don't know if it's the new server, or my latest iPhone upgrade.
But many, but not all pictures on TMP have been replaced with a blue box with a question mark inside. Oh, and it keeps nagging me that TMP "is not secure". 🤷 |

It's not you. I think it is a result of the latest upgrade/update |

I don't know if others have this problem, but the first stage of downloading a thread seems to involve bringing up the photos in a size far too large for my computer screen, and you w-a-i-t for the picture(s) to complete their download and then they quickly become a reasonable size for the page. A few weeks ago, one photo was downloading and the corner I was blessed with seeing was somebody's derriere, and this seemed to take an unusually long time to download. I don't know if there is anything to be done about the problem, but the derriere shot certainly brought it to my attention. Grelber
Hoping my complaint doesn't get repeated three times, like John's |

I'm getting the broken images, too. Everything was working badly until I cleared cookies and cache for TMP. Not things work normally but I am still getting about 60% blue boxes with question marks. That's in Safari, Chrome is okay, I think. But I only use Chrome for development stuff. TMP updated the same day as Safari, so who knows what is responsible. Every other site works flawlessly, though. We're always going to get the "insecure" messages since TMP is the last site on the internet to do http instead of shttp. |

I just checked the Bellegard picture link & it came up fine on my Samsung phone. |

I shut down my Safari window, and turned my phone off.
After I turned my phone back on, I went to TMP. All pictures were there.
Then, I went elsewhere. When I came back, SOME pictures were back. Some were still [?] and so on. |

Apple updated everything so that you have to manually download images. It's a security protection and a pain to disable. |
