I looked at this thread a couple of weeks ago, but never posted to it. Here's my experience: I'm also having the hit and miss thing with the photos when there are multiples to be viewed within a post. Also it's slow to load to 1st unread post when I visit a different forum. No particular rhythm, rhyme or reason. It's just hit and miss here and there. It's acts the same way on my desktop Windows 7 using both Chrome and Firefox and AT&T U-verse provider server. I'm not ready to get a new computer just yet. I don't use IE anymore. I'll have to check to see how things go when I use my IPad and will report back later.
