Thanks! A little filter editing for that one.

This is what keeps happening to me;



And it's so arbitrary. Only happens sporadically, and happens equally to embedded images, attrached images, and linked images. Frustrating.

Zino Davidoff by Davidoff (1986)
(Ok here's a weird, vivid memory based on scent.
I clearly recall buying a bottle of Zino in 1987 and opening it up in my room at our then home in Oak Brook, Illinois. A home my late, great uncle had designed and built for us a couple years earlier. A house we only lived in for a couple years.
That's another story.
This is the last house I lived in with my parents and brother and sister as I'd reached the age when all young people strike out on their own. Anyhow I recall my first application of Zino, quite liking it and playing on my stereo a few notches too loud was "Don't You Ever Leave Me" by the underrated Diamond Head.

It's not the best track on the record and as memories go there were far more momentous occasions in my life whose memories are far less vivid than this. Funny how memories work but it does seem scent is a major component in at least some of them.)

Hasn’t happened to me at all. Have you tried other browsers/devices?

I got rid of everything but Mozilla. I guess I'll download Chrome just to check it out. Oh wait -- I'll bet Microsoft Edge is still buried in the bowels somewhere, just because every time Windows updates itself it seems to reinstall it, no matter what you do. I'll try that.

FWIW, I mostly use Chrome for iOS and Safari for MacOS.
