Hi Carol,
Try going to other web pages and see if pictures load slowly on those pages as well. If they load slow on other web pages then the problem must be on your computer or your internet connection.
You could go to
http://www.speedtest.net/?test... and test your download speed (it’s free).
Personally, I don’t have any problem with slow loading images on NGA, in fact they load very quickly. I do have a very fast internet connections however so I’m sure that helps.
