Who all is having trouble seeing images?

[sj]

Several folks have revealed they can’t see images in posts. So far, this has all been on older Mac computers with OS Catalina.

If you are having trouble seeing pictures please let me know what operating system you are using and which browser.

Thanks in advance!

Here is a quick test page I put together to see if your browser supports webp images: https://supercub.org/browsertest/

Let me know if this test SAYS it supports webp, but you still can't see images.

Thanks

Well interestingly enough, it says webp s supported and I believe I am seeing images generally speaking - but it thinks I'm using Chrome when I'm using Opera. Odd.

Same chromium code base so not that much different

If you are running any of the Mac OS versions in red below, your Safari does not natively support WebP images (like we use here, and much of the rest of the world uses now). You either need to update your OS (you can possibly still update to Big Sur if you have a ten year old mac) or use a third party browser - Chrome or Firefox (or whatever) - which is the easy fix in my opinion, although there are valid security reasons for keeping your OS up to date - yes, even on a Mac.
