  I was creating a post today, and had what appeared to be the “usual” intermittint problems loading images. However, when I go to the Media Library, or when I load pages created previously, some of the images (or thumbnails, in the library)don’t load. If I retry, different images fail to load.

  I can reproduce this on another comuter which shares an internet connection. So the problem is either my connection is timing out, or the WordPress servers are bogging down. Any word on how the servers are doing today?

  Glad to see I am not the only one having this issue! About 75-80% of my images are not loading today, and this is the first time this has ever happened for me.

  My blog is:

  There are no known server issues, and your blogs all work fine for me.

  rcharbon and cuculinary, your home pages both have very large images that will take a long time to download. If your internet connections are slow or unreliable they might fail to load.

  @rcharbon and cuculinary, you might want to take a look at this FAQ on optimizing images which has some very useful information: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/ .
