Pics taking ages to load.

[TW]Sponge · 19 May 2011 at 18:15

Not sure if this is the right place, but been browsing the forums, and noticed that pics people are posting are taking like over a minute to fully come up.

Why?!?

check your connection

Because of your internet connection or perhaps a certain imagehost is being slow today.

Upgrade your ram and format your computer.

re-install internets.

You have uninstalled and reinstalled the ocuk forums haven't you?

Imageshack is the worst IME. Why people still use that **** is beyond me.

[TW]Sponge · 19 May 2011 at 18:26

Getting around 4mb which is about normal. Ram is good. Everything else is fine just these ******* pics!

How slow? Are we talking 56k-style porn viewing here?

This. And they then always seem to post a thumbnail instead of a full size. Then you have to click the thumbnail and it still isn't full size so you have to click again... Sort it out ffs!

try a different browser

[TW]Sponge · 20 May 2011 at 18:19

Thing is though I've always had chrome and It usually works perfectly.

Guess it's worth a shot though.

easiest test, if another one has the same issue then the chances are its network/hosting provider.

if it gets better, then its the browser. have to admit that chromes not great rendering pics...

BringTheRain · 20 May 2011 at 18:23

Its a small price to pay tbh, i love chrome. 3rd week using it

[TW]Sponge · 20 May 2011 at 18:37

Yeah IE is pretty much ok with the pics, so the problem is Chrome.

Still not going to stop me using it though

Thanks Guys.
