Thanks for the reply... as a web developer myself, I fully understand your difficulties, and I will be staying subscribed to this thread for updates

However don't insult me by saying I use IE!!! I use Firefox and Chrome or Safari on occasion, but I NEVER touch IE. In fact, I only have it installed on my computer (IE 5.5 through to IE8 as standalone programs) for testing web pages. I own upwards of 20 websites myself, one of which is a forum for my geographical region which has over 25,000 members.

I'm afraid the problem with the photos not loading is not just to do with IE. It's a problem with other browsers too And I tried your 'clicking on the pic' fix, but it only worked sometimes. It seems like a bandwidth issue to me, as it was temperamental, and we are known to have low bandwidth here in the mountains. I don't get more than 1MB at home.
