Not only you, Keleth!

Many examples of that recently by Findus.

I see them sometimes but then they often disappear and are replaced with the aforementioned text.

 

Probably due to the linked image having been removed. You can avoid this by storing the image locally and then upload it into your post with either drag and drop or "choose file" options.

I have to right-click them and open them in a new tab.  It's because they're hotlinked to bookface and I have privacy settings that make that not work.

Works sometimes but I just got this message:

The only post from Findus that has a visible image for me is the recent post about the book Maus.  The text in his posts appear to be an image and not text (try to highlight any of the text).

My local newspaper did a "did you know" column at the weekend

and as I didn't believe it (even though printed with ink on paper), 

seems Dr googoyle agrees :

"Tennessee pastor burns 'Twilight' and 'Harry Potter' books"

 

Quote

Pastor Greg Locke live streamed the book burning event on Facebook after encouraging his congregation to burn their "accursed items," including titles from the 'Harry Potter' and 'Twilight' series.

In Sunday School we used to sing, 'The B-I-B-L-E, yes that's the book for me...' It sounds like Locke's in that camp. My great-grandmother was a Locke, and I hope there's no close connection. I'm perfectly happy never ever to even hold a copy of Twilight in my hands, but prying Harry Potter from those same hands would be a feat worthy of Hercules.

Nuff said. Not just one nutter with a gun.

Another reason (as if needed) to teach actual history in schools and not just the pretty stuff...

Rest of the world worried about Russia / Ukraine situation.

 

Pentagon, however is worried about security as a rabbit

apparently made it through the building to the centre lawn area.
