Just seen this on the West Riding Digest e-mails.  Not sure if anyone has posted this previously  :-\

Supposedly there was to be a big addition of digital images of the films on the 'catalogue' resources on Sept 1st - after the original closing date of ordering films.
Still waiting for the ones I want ...............  ;)
Hopefully I'll still be here by 2020 when all films are said to be digitised and up on line  ;D

you may still not get access at home to the images online, depends on the 'licence' arrangements with the archives/repositories whose deposited records were filmed.

You might have to go to a LDS family history centre and login there.
