Jack, I have a real good I.T. guy at work that can fix that :bs: for you, but I don't know if his wife will let him T.D.Y.. Workplace firewalls & filters suck :evil:

Yeah PB has been acting erratically lately. I had the same problem uploading pics the past few nights. I always save my after I resize to a folder on my comp. More work, yes. Safer, definitely.

What Bleep Bleep Bleeping Bleep Is going On????

This is the beast.I flew maybe 400 hours in this Volpar VTB-18,which was originally a C-45H used by Air America that suffered serious damage during a landing on wet PSP in Vietnam or Laos.It was shipped to Taipei where it was converted to the turboprop tri-gear via a kit from Volpar sometime in the mid 1960's.Air America used this Volpar along with a few others until the early 1970's.Express Airways bought it from Trans- Mountain Airways (hence the N16TM registration) to carry a small charter of explosives to Geneva,Switzerland in about 1980.I think that it was finally sold to an Ag operator in Georgia for the engines.It was a weird airplane to fly as there was no real feel in the controls at 120 kts and below.Also,with a full load of fuel (400+ gl of jet fuel) and max cargo payload,it was extremely tail heavy.With no load and a light fuel load,you'd run out of nose up trim on downwind for landing.Personally,I preferred the Hamilton Aircraft high gross weight conversion of ex-Navy or RCAF tailwheel Beeches with R-985's.

Jack, I feel your pain!!! :badpc: I spend 10-13 hours a day here at the office. Once IT changed the proxy setting, filters and what not...BAM! it took away photobucket, flickr & stuff. So all I can do is read the posts and look at all of the red X's :( There has been several times I wanted to reply on a post asking someone to describe the picture for me! :lol: What little time I spend at the house I log on just to go back to threads to see what everyones looking at. I guess I need to grease the palm of the IT guy with some Radio Shack gift cards and a designer coffee!!

This is over my head. I see some blanks and then lots of twin Beech shots. Interesting but sorry, Jack, that thing just don't look right with turb-whines on it.

Stupid tech monkies. Their version of carpet bombing.
But hey I can still order from amazon.com, watch youtube and jibjab :shock:

It is likely a web filter on your servers at work. The made some changes recently where I work. I can't get to any of the photo service sites, nor can I see any of the photos link in those sites in froums like this one. Bummer. I have to wait until I get home to read Jack's threads.

Mike H. Those are 'political correctness' filters to prevent naught photos from going to work. Had a co-worked recently let go from wrong-o's on his computer.

My computer at work (U. S. Govt) has filters set up for Photobucket, Flickr, YouTube and most other such large-bandwidth sites. Claim it's due to operational constraints.

I also get nothing but red X's.

A few things I can see most I cannot.
Can someone explain why this is so? I understand
blocking access to a site, but blocking images from one
site you're not on while view images in a site your actually on.
When I click edit even the link I copied and pasted is gone :shock:

Sorry about my post it was an error no pic. I just got back on line and read the post. I usually preview, but didn't that time. My pix are coming thru photobucket. There is a photo this time
