chris chabre Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Every thread I go to read only loads a few photos and then nothing. Im talking current threads with up to date photos/posts. Im not having issues on any other forums/pages etc. Only here. Anyone else? 1
stitchdup Posted May 28 Posted May 28 me, i suspect in my case its an old computer as my other one is faster and loads everything.
bbowser Posted May 28 Posted May 28 I am seeing the same, if I wait long enough the photos finally load. Until then its in limbo. 1

Bainford Posted May 29 Posted May 29 Me too. For the last week or more photos frequently fail to load, and take a very long time when they do. 1

So at least for me, on Sunday morning, Fotki was the issue, not the MCM Forum... TB
Dave Ambrose Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago I'm pretty sure the photos we host are loading properly. The text should be loading promptly. If it isn't, let us know. We've enabled "lazy loading" which means the photos don't actually load until you scroll to that part of the thread. This saves us a lot of resources. However, we can't vouch for photos loaded on an external host. So, if you're using something like Photobucket or Fotki, there may be performance problems that we cannot address.

Some of the photos being 2 billion pixels doesn't help much either...

Ace-Garageguy Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) The more I investigate and try different things, the more I'm seeing evidence that the slow performance may be directly related to issues with my ISP and Chrome. Edited 3 hours ago by Ace-Garageguy
