I don’t know where else to make this comment, so I’ll try the lounge.
2023-08-23: I’ve been having a hard time for the past few weeks with the discuss.pixls.us web site!
First, ti was with accessing the site a few weeks ago. Now (using Edge & Firefox browsers) in all of the posts I’m getting the message “this image could not be loaded”. When I click a link to download, I get the message “Couldn’t download - Network issue”. I don’t have these problems with other sited (ex. www.experts-exchange.com)
I loaded an image from an outside link, no problem: zurcloud.de…
Anyone else having problems?
For me, everything is working (both on the phone, the Windows laptop and the Linux desktop, all under Firefox).

Thanks kofa,
Well, seems like Win 11 or security settings is the problem - please ignore this post. Unless other Win 11 users can give me some advice, perhaps the monitor can delete the topic & the posts.
I use Win 11, with no problems (other than a few weeks ago, when the site was down for a couple of weeks).
You might have a localised speed problem, with images taking too long to download, creating timeouts.
“ping -l 1000 discuss.pixls.us” is one of the slower sites, eg 44ms, compared with 24ms for zurcloud.de, and 9ms for www.experts-exchange.com. Of course, this will depend on geography (I’m in the UK), number of hops, and so on.
It was like a week! Just a long week with no forum to hold my attention.

Well, who knows what the **** goes on with Win 11.
After 2 days of not being able to see the images on the site (email of 2023-08-22), today, everything works as before! Very eerie stuff!
My ping results:
-
Minimum = 127ms, Maximum = 136ms, Average = 129ms
Thanks for all of your comments 
Moved thread to the recommended category.
Good to hear. I haven’t had any issues on my Windows 11 work laptop - oops, I should be working. 
I update it often and have noticed variances in connectivity and speed, so it could be the OS…
