Well, from the looks of it, I think the problem might be your use of .PNG images, instead of .JPGs. .PNGs are bigger files than .JPGs, so they'll take longer to load.

There's a program that will convert them for you, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head. I'll look around and see if I can find it.

Hopefully, someone that uses a program like this will stop in here, too, to give some more detail.

Hope this helps!

IrfanView is a good program to convert images.

EDIT: That's it--I couldn't think of the name! Thanks so much! - Dustin (thundercrack83)

And, if you need to see .PNGs, Firefox is the way to go! ;)

Try reloading your browser's cache (Ctrl+F5)

I was there right now and the page loaded instantly. The pictures took a bit longer, but nothing remarcable ;)
I am currently not active - Please, contact Tarkus for any site related matter. Thanks for enjoying SC4D :D

That's almost certainly the problem, then. Changing your pictures to .JPGs will help, but it will only do so much if you're using dial-up.

Good luck!
