Topic: 3D Preview in Soliforum not working

I've never been able to get the 3D Preview when clicking on any of the STL files posted here at Soliforum.  The 3D Preview window pops up, but I never see an image.

I have tried this with both an older and newer Mac using the Safari brower.  I have also tried this with a new laptop running Windows 8 and Chrome.

Any ideas?

Sometimes it loads up if I hit reload.   Actually most of the time.  It rarely shows the model when the preview opens, I almost always have to reload it.

I used to think it didn't work, but for me it just takes forever to load the model. I discovered that one day after leaving my computer unattended, so I'm not sure how long it takes.

Thanks everyone.  Reloading or refreshing did the trick with the Mac's and Chrome on the new laptop.  Internet Explorer on the laptop didn't work.
