Not sure if it just me / my i-pad but recently (under a week) some, but not all, new posts with photos imbedded are not loading properly?
The image starts to load from the top but then gives up and I just get a box with "img. xxxx" or similar.
Thought is was my i-pad at first lacking a bit of memory but it's the same on the PC....anyone elso get this (or have any ideas to cure?)
(as an example to help those more technically minded than me, Virage's photos of the 911 SE all loaded fine, but jonmamcan / dandocks photos from the last couple of days didn't?)
I'm guessing it's to do with the size of the image, or maybe the source, but why just me?
Edit to say - having refreshed on PC the photos are fine some I'm guessing it's down to my i-pad internal memory or somesuch.

Me too. For me, Virage's images of the gold Turbo S special took a very long time to load up. Same with the recent photos of the Rhodium Macan GTS.

The website is a bit dumb in that it serves the image up full size, and isn't very good at serving up anything at speed/scale :/
Eg, the 911 Turbo special photo of the mirror is 2.4mb and 4032x3024
One thing you can do is use Tapatalk to post images. The images end up on Tapatalk's servers which have a lot more capacity and bandwidth.
Another is to make the images a bit smaller first, but that's a fiddle.
Our admin might be able to to tweak the site's settings. It's phpBB I think, in which case you do a number of things, like set maximum image dims, use thumbnails (and set max size) display images inline or not, etc. You can also have the server resize images that are uploaded .
Doing this would also stop the server from exhausting its bandwidth limits
