Sigh. I could not see the chromatograms posted yesterday and today. A little investigation revealed the the tinypic.com url might be the source of the difficulty. Sure enough, when I tried to go directly to the picture, I get the following warning:
"This Websense category is filtered: Personal Network Storage and Backup."
Yep. Heaven forbid that I should actually learn something work-related from another person...

I have that same issue w/ Photobucket, Tinypic...
If you can find a little known such repository or stuff pics in a public folder in your own (home) ISP allocated space, that makes it available to many more people.

I think there is a motto somewher in the information technology offices: "Nobody can do bad things if they can do nothing; prevent bad things!"

Don, this is the motto of public services and nanny governments throughout the world. The version that the bean counters have on their walls is "Nobody can mis-spend funds that are not allocated".

Reminds me of when I worked in a CRO doing preclinical drug safety asessment and some ovezealous IT Newbie set the firewall to block access to all 'drug' related sites.

I work for a company that once had their own company website blocked as inappropriate for a while.

Sounds like my employer.... You could always try using a source such as
www.anonymouse.org to paste the image url into...., do on own risk, IT does not really like you doing stuff like that
