(FIXED) ISSUE: Thumbnails down in the Archive pages

Thanks to Mission Web Works for the fix!

Issue has been fixed.... refresh your browser to reload thumbnails.

________________

You may have noticed that the Stencil Archive albums are showing broken links for the thumbnails. Emails and job tickets have been put in motion to fix the broken links.

WORKAROUND: The linked text/titles still work. Clicking through will get you to the albums, where the stencil photos can still be viewed.

As always, thanks for visiting and being patient while we fix things.
