There is something wrong with the way the images are loading in this thread that is slowing it way, way down. Bouncer, you may want to check on this. I've got a 200 Mbps internet connection, so the slowdown ain't on my side, and the other threads on the site that are not image-heavy load fast, but this thread is slow as molasses to load. Even by image-heavy thread standards, the loading speed of this thread is way, way too long.

Not for me bro. Loads normal. From chrome browser on phone it loads fine. From opera browser on laptop it loads fine. Both home internet and 4g lte it loads fine. I checked from a different browser where I'm not logged in and it also loads fine.

Most are just linked via imgur so if there is an issue and it's not you it's probably imgur a little bogged down. That doesn't answer why I don't have issues though... my internet is 50mbps so it doesn't make much sense that it would be slow for you and not for me.

LIV do you have any problems with this thread loading slow like scrum does?

[Bouncer]

scrum, going to post 2 images below. the top image will be hosted/linked via imgur. second image will be hosted/linked via reddit. let me know if the top image is slow for you. the images and the thread itself loads instantly for me and you have faster internet so i'm thinking there is some issue between your ISP and Imgur possibly.
