Got to try my new grinder, excellent:

I had no trouble viewing this picture (or any of the others, for that
matter), so your above remark puzzled me a bit.
My newsreader allows me to click on the above link, and in turn that
launches the pic in my browser, no problem.
There is something "non standard" with the way he posts his Urls. They
do not show as a normal link for me, either. I've been on Usenet for
over 10 years and this is not a normal thing. He's doing something
odd.

Tinypic has a copy feature now, one of the links is in that format.
I don't have a problem with it because I cut and paste, anyway.

Hmmmm. Wonder if its "browser-related". Only "odd" thing I have noticed
is that it has that *[/IMG]* in the link. My browser "strips that out"
automatically and "fixes it up". In other words, when I click on the
link in my newsreader and then look at the URL it puts in the browser,
it transforms it to:

http://i12.tinypic.com/2ziyj4w.jpg%5B/IMG

which works just fine. Dunno if all browsers do that. I am using
Firefox, BTW.

Seems only those running antiquated PCs with antiquated software are
having a problem... from now on I will strip off the bracketed code
for the crybabies... but I'm sure they'll find something else to whine
about.

Lemme try a couple of other tinypic formats...
<a href="http://tinypic.com"; target="_blank"><img src="http://
i13.tinypic.com/34edyxf.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting
by TinyPic"></a>

That's their first one, looks too, too...

This is their last link:
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2hwk4l5

The middle link I usually use...

With bracketed part:
[IMG]http://i11.tinypic.com/2myaexx.jpg[/IMG]

Without bracketed part:
http://i11.tinypic.com/2myaexx.jpg

I'm certain there will always those who can never be satisfied.
