...having trouble loading the "lets see some pictures of your place" thread? Does it just take a long time, because of all the pictures and replies? I really wanted to see it, but I've been waiting up to 10 minutes for it to load. (yes, I timed it!!) It still doesnt. Usually, our computer takes several to 15 seconds to load a thread. I just need to know if it is taking long for other people, or if we have to get our computer checked out.

Dump your cache'. That might fix it.

Yes, the pictures, especially if you're on dial-up. The photos are beautiful but are large and would take a while to load on dial-up. I doubt if anything is wrong with your computer unless it's taking that long on cable or dsl. Probably just a slow connection.

That is my thought also, dial up.
Hopefully that is it.
Great pics, but they are large.
Maybe if your on dial up you can go to the local library and look, they usually have dsl.

 

[xoxoGOATSxoxo]

yes, it is dial up.

 

[mamajohnson]

well, the pictures are worth the wait, if it will ever load for you!
I so dont like dial up, sorry you can't see the pics.

There is one pg I haven't been able to load yet. Slow dial-up, but I love to look at the pictures too.

It would help if posters could remember when they use the "quote" feature to comment on another's home/post to delete the Pic itself from the quote, so we don't have to wait for it to load twice or three times.

Once the pic loads, it doesn't matter how many times it has been quoted, as it is already in your computers memory. It would be nice if people would optimize there pictures for size of photo and size of file. Some of these pics don't fit on the screen and are over a MB each. I resize all of my pics to 35kb or less and 450 pixels or less, only takes a couple of seconds each on dialup. I just skip over the picture threads, as I know I can't get them to load in a timely fashion, as much as I would love to see what people want to share.
