This has been happening for the last two days. In the near four years of posting photos from Facebook to CL, I've never encountered this until now. I copy the image address from the photo and paste it into the "Insert Image" icon as usual, and go to post. The pictures display until I either refresh the thread or open it up again. The images is just the little blue icon. I'm not sure what's going on. Any suggestions or ideas on why this is happening? My Mac is up to date. Anyone else's pictures not showing up from a FB link?

So do we have to use heat resistant paint or no? I'm hearing both...

Actually no need for heat resistent paint...
You engine covers never get that hot till the paint burns. Think about it, the plastic would have melted a long time ago if it ever got that hot...
Just pick a good quality paint and you should be fine.
If you are really paranoid, then you can get the heat resistent paint.
