Graphics not loading or very slow to load

[VestaAdmin]

On my group Taggerz Haven ( http://taggerzhaven.forumotion.com/ ) graphics and pictures are not loading or are taking up to 10 minutes to load. Is there something going on? I did delete cookies and run clean ups on my computer twice and still having the problem. Several other members have told me the same thing. Thanks for any info.

Who is the items hosted by ?

[VestaAdmin]

They are hosted mostly by Fotki and Photo Bucket.  Those sites seem to be working fine.

Was this happening to everyone on your forum or just you?

[VestaAdmin]

So far 3 others have said they are experiencing extreme slowness with graphics as well. Also they both said that it comes and goes for the past couple of days. Only a few have been on there today so can't say if others have and just not said anything.

Are these members using the same Internet provider, live in the same country, using the same browsers, and/or using mobile devices?

This sounds to me that now and then the photo's on photobucket are running a little slow this could be down to a number of things thou.

1, Time of day / night when most member's of the host are on photobucket and the other site you named
2, Your internet speed may get slower in some times of the day or night Try resetting your modem / Hub

3, You may be getting an backup from our servers at that time of day / night this can sometimes slow things down a little when this is in progress.

My thoughts is the photobucket servers are a little over run at times we have had lots of problems with other photo hosts going slow at times.

when your items go slow look at the bottom of your browser it should say the site it is looking for that is holding it up see screen shot of firefox others may be in some other place

Hmmm ok. I have members from all over so no, not the same internet providers or browsers or anything. Ok, I will just tell them to be patient and it's probably the picture hosting sites. Thanks!
