Gday, John etal:

Unfortunately, hyperlinks are only as good as they work. Of late, many of the hyperlinks come back with a message that they are abandoned because they can not link properly. Generally, these are the ones that use photo numbers in the later portion of the link name. In most cases, this also happens if I transfer the link name to the address bar and precede it with the proper http:// and tdu prefixes.

I'm certain that these work for some of us, as I see reply comments that would imply that others have seen the photos. Without knowing, these may be the folks who receive the postings via e-mail. I guess there is something my computers (all three of them) don't like but I have yet to figure out just what. If anyone has a clue, I'd be more than happy to learn of a fix for this, but neither I nor my sons, both of whom are MIS specialists, have so far found an answer. This is something I have had as a problem only during the past few weeks.

Cheers: Tom Fairbairn
