Ok, checked all of those things. STill happens. I've tested it out on my home Cable modem and the Lan at work, and still happens. It doesn't happen to my other computer, it happens no matter where I'm logged in, I've checked all the settings. I'm starting to get a nagging suspicion that one of the windows updates is screwing with something. I think right around this problem popping up is when I installed yet anther one of those updates that XP downloads for me. It's the only thing I can think of at this point. The problem isn't quite so bad, usually it only takes me three refreshes for the thumbnails to ALL load. And only two for most images. Hopefully the next update will fix this, or I can figure out what's going on, because I can't surf this site this way for much longer. Thanks for the help, and if anyone thinks of something else to check, let me know. Dragontales
