Pic problem

I first started noticing this on TSG, but I'm positive it's not this site...


Usually when I go to a page all the pics don't completely load properly. If I hit refresh...sometimes I get lucky and they're all there.

 

The same thing happens to me

The main body of the page loads but the post icons down the left hand side don't load - so I don't know which threads I have posted to - I cleaned the computer out and rebooted and still didn't work. This computer is a 4 year old win98.

I have a new 2 gig XP computer sitting next to me on another desk - so I moved the dial-up connection to that computer and tried it - I get exactly same thing

I can't find another site that does not load - everywhere else I go works perfect - as it affects both computers, I would say that rules out a problem on the computers

Which leaves 3 possibilities
1. ISP
2. Telephone line
2. TSG

1. & 2. Everything and everywhere else works except this site, I checked the speed with several speed test sites - and I get the same rubbish dial-up speed as usual - so that rules out ISP and the Telephone line

My conclusions are that it is this site - yet this is the first time I have seen this mentioned - and I dont see how it can be the site, or there would be a lot more people mentioning it

This has happened at least 5 or 6 times to me - all I can do is go somewhere else and keep checking back untill it cures itself

Steam-Must be associated with different systems or connections. Mine are all there. In fact I didn't know about the "you have posted here icon".

I guess I wouldn't use it much because you are notified if somebody post to the thread.

What I do in Random is I have a icon shorcut to a folder in my Favorites and put all my posts there so I don't have to search for that everytime.

 

Hi Deke

My 2 computers could not be more different - one is 4 years old with win98 etc. - the other new with XP - yet when the problem is there - it is on both computers - and how could my ISP or telephone line affect only this one site ?

It' a mystery - and one I don't expect anyone has the answer to !

Well, sometimes it happens on my forum. The main stuff loads but the smiles and some of the icons don't. This mean that yes, TSG may be a problem, but I think it's something with explorer.

 

What you describe is exactly what happens to me

On a 4 year old win98 with updates etc.

But also on a new fresh out of the shop XP machine with no updates and no service packs - just as it left the factory - pre installed.

Well my machine is completely updated...service packs, drivers, hotfixes, you name it. I guess I'll just have to deal with it for now.
