Hey, Paul - nice to see you back with us.
I do have a firewall, but I haven't changed any settings on it and haven't had any problem before with other threads or photo sizes, so suspect that isn't the problem.
I asked Kae to take a look here last night and she had the same problem at the time. So no idea why this thread in particular is proving difficult.
Ah, well...it adds a new measure of excitment and adventure trying to figure out what the captions refer to.

EDIT: Okay, it suddenly occurred to me to go check out other photo threads which weren't a problem previously and they are exactly the same as this one - interminably slow to load and no photos at the end of it. Off to place a call to Mulder and Scully...
