I blocked gallery access from the entire country of China and that seems to have fixed the problem, for now.

Each year new challenges pop up, and I always put family and health first. After a couple of months of disruption, I have managed to resume work on assembling the 2025 yearbook. I expect I will finish it in about a week. It?s always slow going to begin such exacting work, but I?ve gotten some momentum. I think I am likely to declare that the next yearbook, the 2026 yearbook, will be the last. I can be talked out of it, but we are of another era and we are slowing down. I might find the energy to send email to everyone who has ever subscribed to the LUG (and who is still alive) to suggest that they might consider submitting something. So the 2025 yearbook will probably be available to order before 1 May 2026.

Could you email me one or two of the images that are not working for you? I can look at them to see what I can see.
