Hey jor2, thanks for posting here today!

      Hey jor2, unfortunately we can't access the links due to privacy and security reasons.

       

      Can you try to attach them here either by using the camera-like icon, or by pressing Command-V on your keyboard?

       

      While you're at it, feel free to also try out these steps, to see if they make any difference.
