:wtf:.....every time I go to get pics on the net I get a couple then nothing. It's been doing this for about 3-4 days now. Nothing changed on my end???
I get the title for the pics and a couple of thumbnails, and when I klik on them....nothing. What's up with dat chit? :(

I've noticed that when WIN10 is doing it's download thing in the background, it screws up stuff like this ???:mad:

Yet one more reason you never ever install a new windows operating system before patch 1 comes out.

It's not win10, i've been using it for months and never experienced this behavior.

i ran a bunch of diagnostics on my machine, and nothing. And when I'm offline there's no problems????? :bigears:

MS did not like your selection of pics and prevented them from being downloaded. ;)

I was not impressed with 10 and went back to 7. Considering all the spying on that OS, I rater wait for the dust to settle to see if they make any changes. If they don't, I plan to start learning to use Linux, and keep my old windows 7 version as long as I can.

clear the cache in your browser
run ccleaner
run malwarebytes

I figured it out. Every time Win 10 makes an "update" it screwed up my settings on my browsers. Both Google and Firefox have an options list and i had to reset them so they'd work as before......:slap: to Micro Soft-in-the-head!

They are purposely screwing with Chrome and FF to make people quit using them and move to Edge.

Edge might be the only thing about Windows10 that impressed me. It's a clean and quick browser. It would be nice if the entire OS carried that same minimalist design.

Of course I didn't use it much, but it got me to the Pale Moon site without much fuss. :D

Bought a MacBook Pro 9 years ago and still using it today. Only replaced a hard drive so far.

I have never owned a windows based computer that I used for this long.
