Sometimes i get partial pics. Most of the time I get none.

I am talking classified and pics of boats and such. Not the advertisers.

I'm glad tosee someone else having the same problem.
What I've experienced is that when trying to view threads with attached photos they do not display. If I do a refresh 4 or 5 time I can finally see them sometimes but not all the time.
I try to watch for updates in the 27 build thread and Tarbays build thread. Most of the time it is impossible to see all the photos.
I have done everything on my end to solve the problem with no luck.
Replaced modem, disallowed and the allowed images from THT. Have run Crapcleaner etc. My ISP says everything is ok.
Never have problems on other sites.
Getting stressed.

I have the same issue.
But my problem (and maybe yours) is the firewall here.
I cannot see images from 3rd party attached photos.
Like if you have a link to a photobucket pic in your post.
Pics that are u/l onto THT I can see.
My workplace blocks places like photobucket and such.

So here is an example from a moment ago.

On the Building a 27' CC thread, page 50. Post numbers 988 and 995 do not show the photo, only see a box outline with "attached Images" at the top.
Post 992 shows up just fine.
All the post mentioned are by GCC.

Sometimes I see a line or two of the photo and nothing else.

I see them...

Try this, no guarantee though...

Go to post 995 and hit refresh.
No work?
Ok, Hold down the CTRL key and tap the minus (-) button. Everything will get smaller.
I'm thinking maybe it doesn't load them because they are outside the frame.
Using Firefox or IE?

To make the site larger again, just hold CTRL and tap the plus (+) key.

BarryD · 11-17-2010, 04:57 PM

I get the same basic problem with IE and Firefox. The difference is in IE the images that do not show up show the "X".

The CTRL +/- did not work.

This addresses multiple possibilities for a fix:

I'm sure it happens to most of us. I find it quite annoying but in THT's defense they are hosting images at no charge.

1. Original posters should reduce the image size instead of uploading full resolution images. Those posting images should download a free image resizer and show a little respect. 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 is enough. No need for these 2-3-10 MB images.

2. More than likely the THT web server limits (is tuned to limit) the amount of time/bandwidth/size allowed for displaying images (it's a resource hog, both bandwidth and storage).

THT should limit the size of images (assuming they don't already) and this would solve the problem.
