My techs say it must be at MY end, but I kinda doubt it.
Could a few volunteers please click on this link & let me know how many seconds it takes for the pic to load? It's only 26K in size.
Thanks!

P.S. This is NOT a pic of the AW Management team.

And it's not the Moderation team either!!
Super fast, reddeer - only a couple of seconds for me.

Thanks! I'm not sure what the problem is, but perhaps my cable's sucking slough water again tonight? I have several auctions ending in the AM & just wanted to make sure I was/wasn't the only one that could/couldn't view them.
Greatly appreciated!

Actually, I thought it closely resembled the SafeHarbor staff.

A nano second. "Did you clear your cache?"
(Sorry but the temptation was too great for me to resist.....)

Yes Susan, I cleared my cache.
Maybe it's time for a reboot? My pics seem to be up & down for me tonight?

Nah... you don't need to reboot. Why make yourself crazy when it is obviously the slough water. My connection does this once in a while too. But too my DSL service FORCES me to use Netscape, so that is no recomendation. I hate to mention it but did you try IE instead of the ever efficient Netscape? BTW what is slough water?

Jenniphant ..... LOL, what in the world for?
Smw - It seems all is well again, and surely you know it couldn't have been Netscape that caused the problem.
Slough - 1. A place of deep mud or mire :bog
2. A stagnant swamp or backwater
also know as the "swimmin hole" in Canada.

reddeer: When I was in college, I use to run around with the same 4 people everywhere. We used to take pictures together as the 3 monkeys. Of course, I never jumped into the picture fast enough, so I was always either "smell no evil" or "feel no evil". "Feel no evil" usually got pretty graphic, so I always tried to make it in as "smell". Plus, the on the right kinda looks like my boyfriend!

Reddeer, sounds like it could be either a problem with your system resources which a reboot might cure (are you using Win 98?) or a problem connecting properly to your ISP. I find that if I renew my IP address it sometimes helps. Go to Start>Run and type in winipcfg. Click on OK, then a new box will appear. Select the network card that is connected to your cable modem from the list. Click on "release all" and then "renew all". This is will renew your IP address from the DHCP server at your ISP. Click on OK. Then try the pic again and see how it goes.
BTW, the pic loaded instantly here with a ADSL connection.
