At least I believe the problem showed up right after one of their up-dates. I borrow cartoons from
https://www.gocomics.com/comics/a-to-z, but lately most of the windows I open up there are blank
and I have to keep clicking on them until they show up.

Have no problems with images on other sites, did a reboot to see if that would help, it didn't.
Any ideas? Anyone else have the same problem with gocomics?

On EDIT..........
Using Firefox hooked up to fiber optics cable

2nd EDIT.........
Firefox said I had the latest version but reinstalled Firefox anyway and now everything is back to normal,
able to copy & paste Clay Jones from Gocomics.

1. Have this problem

With pictures on some other sites.

Has been going on about 5 days.

What happens is I get nothing and consequently shut the window down.

4. No specific experience with the site, am thinking though

that it might indicate one of two things:

1. poor network performance? If you are on wifi, try to get closer to reposition wifi attennas/access points. Read the connection speed in windows settings app, ynder network, wifi, hardware info. Expected connection speed depends on your hardware.

2. Your OS/apps could use some updates.
Settings Windows Updates, Check.
Whatever browser you use see if it is up to date version.
Then after that, also open microsoft store/library page, check for updates.

Still no joy, try a different browser.

5. More likely browser than OS. You aren't opening windows at web sites. It's tabs or pages

Your problem (because it's a web site) shows up in your browser. Technically, you may have chosen to open pages in new windows, but most people don't, and I'm not certain you are. You have neglected to say which browser it is.

It could be networking in the OS, but much more likely is either your ISP (internet service provider) or the gocomics site, because you specifically mention that and no other.

7. Yes, forgot to mention my browser, using Firefox

hooked up to fiber optics cable, I'll check for Firefox updates. I'll try the browser that came with
Windows. Thank you for the help.

6. It's a longshot, but is the picture's type (like ".jpg" for example) associated with a windows file type?

On edit: Look to see if the file type .png (which Calvin and hobbes used for a picture file type) is associated with the windows file type for ".png".

8. Everything on gocomics is ".png"

which I have to add or they won't show up, png from other sites are no problem.

9. Just tried microsoft edge that came with windows 11

Images pop right up Ok but unable to copy & paste like I can with Firefox. Do not like edge at all with
all the extra windows that pop up. So I do have a browser problem, Firefox says I have the latest
update, think I'll try reloading it. Thanks for the help everybody.

10. If you are reloading, try reloading one or two versions back. . . . . nt

11. That's a good idea, but reloading the latest works Ok

12. Yay! I'm always thankful to see your cartoons, and glad the supply is in hand again. . . . nt
