Tinypic images not loading...

[mistercrabb]

Hope this is in the right section..

Interesting issue, I've noticed that almost all images hosted with tinypic won't load first time for me.
It's worst in the random image thread because almost every other post appears blank.

Refreshing the page a few times seems to work, however.
And I can view the tinypic website fine.

Firefox just says 'connecting to 151.tinypic.com' or some variation of that.


Any ideas? This is the only thing I have these issues with..

Oh hadn't thought of that thanks. But it didn't work

Though now it appears I cannot connect to http://i53.tinypic.com Can anyone else connect to that url?
Connection time-out for me.

Yeah I spoke too soon.

Someone seems to have found a solution there (final post), but it's over my head. Maybe it helps you, mistercrabb!

Don't understand it either but good find, thanks.
For me:
http://tinypic.com works
http://i53.tinypic.com/ fails
http://i51.tinypic.com/ fails
http://i37.tinypic.com/ works

Ah. So am I...

There isn't a cap with tinypic is there?

I can imagine forums like this hammer it pretty hard.

Nope, so far (and looking at other forums) it seems that talktalk breaks certain subdomains of tinypic..

Not sure if there is a workaround, there seem to be a few theories as to why this happens.

I get the same problem on Virgin Media.

Edit: Oh disabling jumbo frames made the sites load.

I don't know what that is
Is it easy to do?

 

[mistercrabb]

Oh haha very funny

Edit: although viewing the page again I can see it now. Odd.
