Strange. It works for me.

Yours is from an HTTPS trusted domain. I suspect Miroslavlav blocked externally hosted content that is not https

I am not sure of what's involved in a "trusted domain", but your post made me worry about all of the images that I had posted in the Casino Chip of the Day thread. I checked, and all my images are still showing up (I think). My image links there begin with [url=http://www.4-sqr.com/images/.... I do not specifically call out "https".
BTW, your image in the first post of this thread is indeed showing up.

I'm guessing an obtuse chrome sequrity setting has been enabled. Usually it's Firefox that does such stupidity.

Hi all,
it's that Chrome is automatically trying to load https images.
You can see it in this blog https://blog.chromium.org/2019/10/no-more-mixed-messages-about-https.html
In this part:
"In Chrome 81, mixed images will be autoupgraded to https://, and Chrome will block them by default if they fail to load over https://. Chrome 81 will be released to early release channels in February 2020."

Thanks Miroslavlav,
I've installed SSL certificate on my server and it can now serve up the images as HTTPS: But I'm still annoyed, because doing that has now broken the VPN service that I run on that server. GRRRRRR.

I see your image in chrome, so that fixed it
and sorry to hear about VPN service being broken now, hopefully you'll fix it quickly :)

Port 443 on my web server was in use as the vpn listener. I don't expect to be able to run the service on that port at the same time as running apache with https.Quote: miroslavlavI see your image in chrome, so that fixed it

I had to research and fix enough issues to get this far. Wary of messing with it any further in case i end up having to rebuild the darned lot.
This server is serving multiple purposes so I'll probably fire up a few new servers to spread the load.
Thanks anyway for the diagnosis.
