Many of your links are coming up “forbidden” or dead for me, too, **buddha**. But I’m not going to arrest you: [http://baltimorecitypolicehistory.com/citypolice/images/Badges/584-1.jpg](http://baltimorecitypolicehistory.com/citypolice/images/Badges/584-1.jpg) ---

> [@buddha\_david](#): > > Regular copy & paste, like everyone else, I’m assuming. A regular copy and paste of what though? What browser are you using? What search engine? What device? I’m using Google on Chrome with a laptop PC, for example. My URL bar shows the entire URL. But some systems truncate the URL and when you C&P you might only be getting the truncated URL which won’t work as a link. Some of your links, for example, seem to be cutting off the domain names.

It’s not a problem in Firefox – have you tried using that browser instead? Also, it’s impossible to know immediately which links work and which don’t – I can see that some of my links are “Forbidden” now, but when I initially posted them, they worked perfectly fine – probably because they were still in my browser’s cache. And sorry, but I can’t take the time to flush my cache every time I want to verify a link’s integrity – this is just a silly web game, after all. :-\ In play: [Peace To All.](http://www.hhhdb.com/pix/albums/peace_586_-_586.jpg) ---

So I guess the “highlight the URL and press Enter, reloading the page so you can see **buddha\_david’s** pictures” trick only works for me? A lot of my favorite Bach works are in the mid-upper 500’s on the BWV classification standard. Here’s [another one](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51v87J0jfAL._SL500_AA280_.jpg). ---

I go to Google images, find a pic I like, then click “View Image”, which brings up the image from the original server. I then copy that URL to this thread.

I might reuse that picture when we get to post 8,734,889. 😉 Mozart died in 1791, so I’m just going to do Kochel #'s until we get past 626. [http://cloud.freehandmusic.netdna-cdn.com/preview/530x4/kalsol/mwadagal.png](http://cloud.freehandmusic.netdna-cdn.com/preview/530x4/kalsol/mwadagal.png) ---

**budda** , your #598 worked for me, but the two previous ones didn’t. Did you do something differently?
