But because it fits here quite well again, am I really the only one who cares about seeing the diagrams only with insecure http- address?

Chrome with Windows 10 shows diagrams with http, but not with https- address, with MS Edge it's the same, regards

Chrome sometimes shows Talkchess with http and thus diagrams, but for me it works only for a few moments, then it redirects permanently to https and no diagrams. I suspect it has something to do with being assigned a new DNS address, then you see the http:// but how this works I don't know. Do I push everyone here to https :) System still thinks I am Fernando from the Elders.

Firefox will show you diagrams, HGM has Firefox on Linux so naturally that works better, at least he does not see the problem. I would be very surprised if Firefox on Android does not show you diagrams Paloma, well here it works flawlessly on Android 11. Edge is an alternative but it is terrible with all the advertisements and clickbait on the newspage. I stay away if I can.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
