      Is anyone having trouble viewing the picture gallery? I’ve had a couple of cryptic mails saying that people get crosses rather than pictures but it works fine for me from two different machines. Anyway if you are having trouble please let me know including the url and the browser your using…

      Thanks.

        I checked the gallery this morning from my NTL circuit and have found everything to be in order – all the pictures appeared as I would expect.

        Are these people surfing from work connections? There is newer filtering/censorship software about which not only bans certain sites but deprioritises external network traffic that is not classed as “business-critical”.
        in simple terms its set up so that during times of heavy net traffic workers can get a fast connection to a suppliers’ website to order office equipment or production stock, but a non-work related (but relatively inoffensive) site like news (PV is usually classed as a media site by filters) is not blocked but gets a slower connection. Of course, the option to block sites altogether still remains

        One symptom of a slow connection is the loss of graphics and their replacement by the “X” symbol; I believe browswers have always been coded like this as a throwback to the days when the internet operated over slow dial-up connections, had way less capacity, and most content was text – the idea is that if you can’t see the pics you could at least have read the text.

        if they are surfing from home however, then its just a symptom that their ISP is pants and cannot cope with the customer data demand (sadly a lot of them are simply greedy and take on more customers than they can service).
