I have noticed that links to images lately are rather haphazard as to whether they show up or not. A good example is the post by Gian on the Crypt Nuts forum. http://dorothea.rwhmax.net/~aquaticp/aquaticp/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3835

He actually linked 10 images, but all ten never show up. sometimes I get none, sometimes four, sometimes five, sometimes only one.

Also, most of the time, but not always, I have to log in twice. I have tried deleting all my cookies, but it still happens. The first page I get, as a guest, is incompletely downloaded with most of the links at the top missing.

I got the link by copying and pasting. That is what it was this morning. Now I see that it is

Just now trying some reloading, On the first try I got seven out of the 10 image locations in his post. Second try-----zero, thrid try-------three, fourth try-------three.

Could this be a Netscape problem? I tried logging in with Internet Explorer, and got 6 images and there were four little picture icons with red X's in them. Apparently Netscape disappears the picture icons if it doesn't get the pictures quickly. Internet Explorer keeps them.

I got to the site while browsing the forum. I went to Crypt Nuts, and then to "crypt ID (with flower)"

Thanks for the help, Gnatster

I changed the bookmark address. It used to work until the switch to the dedicated server.

The other problem with the pictures not showing up reliably isn't just a problem with a post that has a large number of images. I have seen it happen in posts with only one or two pictures. I don't know if a fix is possible on our end. I hope one is. Maybe it happens only when the server defined by the link is busy or not responding.
