Hi Ralph,
I think your link to this story may have an extra “http”.

Thank you, it’s fixed now. For some reason the last couple days WordPress decided to “help” everyone by adding the “http” in the link to begin with, so if you just drop the link into the dialog box, you end with 2 “http”s. Very irritating because it really slows things down and causes errors.
