Hi Scottie. Not sure of this helps, A large number of image links are broken and won’t show unless I use a US hosted VPN, as I have described before. But I have found another way, and that is to slightly modify the URL:


https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299916/830/becs_robert-f-kennedy-jrs-hobby-.png?ssl=1
is a broken link. Trying to open it directly results in the message “We cannot complete this request, remote data could not be fetched”, but truncating the URL to:
and bingo! Just chopping off “?ssl=1” is all it takes to allow the image to display correctly. Likewise, changing:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299938/830/rick-mckee_avoiding-the-state-of-the-world.png?ssl=1
to
allows that image to display. All the broken links are the same: All begin with “i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com” and end with “?ssl=1”

Hi Barry. It does help thank you. Seems it is all from the cagle site which is sad because those are the ones I get the best cartoons from there. I have tried several ways to get them so they display. I am not sure how to change the URL because I use copy and paste to grab the cartoon and paste them in the post. I am going to do a bonus post of just cartoons from that site and see how many people have trouble. I wonder if it is just some countries or all outside the US who get broken links. Thanks Barry. I know you wrote before on this before but I have not replied to any comments for days, something I hope to correct today and tomorrow. Best wishes.
