Edit: direct link for people with bad web browsers.

It's not bad browsers, it's links to websites that won't honor users' wish to not be tracked. Meta properties are particularly bad for refusing to display when people have tracking/ad extensions running.

little tip for everyone, "windows key +shift +s, select the area you want, then go to the post and press ctrl +v
it will copy that part of the screen as an image and save it to the forum so everyone can see it.

Also, many times right clicking on an image will give you a pop-up menu that allows you to "Copy image." If you do that, then you can come here and paste the image into your post.

Oops, I thought I saw it was Safari and figured that was the problem.
 
nah, adblock/noscript will block sites that we don't want tracking us and since facebook and xitter are winy little babies they then block you from seeing it.
Have you ever tried the Duckduckgo browser? Apart from being the most unfortunately named browser ever, it actually blocks all ads, popups, and tracking attempts. You can see the icons in the bar at the top as it blocks junk and it keeps a running history of how many things it blocked on each site. You can dump browser cache with a single flame button. It has opened up the use of sites that I would have ditched long ago due to ad garbage.
It's free and worth a shot, even if you just use it for some sites that drive you crazy. I started out doing that and now it's my default. It also has a good player for videos that skims the intro ads off of YT type videos that want to show you widget commercials before you can watch cats getting a bath.

Thanks! I think I'll give it a try... I'm still using Firefox because it's what I was using on most of my machines at the time I was injured 11 years ago but I no longer fully comprehend why. :)
