As stated before, I backed out and refreshed the link by reclicking on it, and on about the 3rd repeat, it did show me the card link, which I used, but its timeouts made me repeat that several times because I am not a touch typist. But I did "get it done". ;) I think my browser, FF-ESR, is funkity. It won't show me the main window at imgur.com either, if I want to see the big image, I have to inspect the src, find the jpg link in the src code and click on that, at which point it shows me the full screen version of the image. At 4x the area the imgur window lays out for it. I've been asking about that for 6 months or so, nobody knows. > > > Even if you are not using the GNOME desktop, if you are using > > > LinuxCNC you are using Gnome software.
