They take FOREVER to load, even with fast internet connections. If people want to post pics, they should have to learn how to upload them, and LINK to them using UBB code, like 98% of other forums. Then you can post as many pics as you want in ONE post, instead of making 24 posts because you have to "attach" one image each time. Lately, it seems to me like some threads I click on with dozens of "attached" pics take so long to load, I just give up and don't bother with them. And I've read others complain that the "attached" pics fail to load or just take forever.

People, READ REX's tutorial!!!!! It's not hard, doesn't take any longer than clicking "attach" and doesn't make a thread that should load in 10 seconds take 10 minutes.

That is all.

I agree, there are several threads that NEVER completely load and some you have to right click the photo and select "view" to get it to load. I usually get done reading the text and move on before the pics load.

I like photobucket.com I stick all my miscellaneous photos on there to post. I don't want all the parts pics and misc. stuff in my gallery so that's where I put them.

My $.02

Agreed. Most of the time I'll have a page entirely loaded with exception of the attachments, which then take minutes to fully load.

Your real problem is that you guys use ZeroForum rather than VBulletin or phpBB.

Zeroforum has so many problems. A few examples. For one, when I click "New search" after searching for something, it brings me right back to the results of the first search, rather than let me create a new search. Also, it will randomly tell me I can't post because I'm not logged in; even though I am. Trurt me, the phpBB and VBulletin programs are much slicker.
