Images not loading?

I recently joined NAM, and so far I love it here! My only complaint as of right now is most images on some older posts don't load for me. I'm on Safari 14, but I'm not sure if the issue is on my side or server-side. One good example is the post here. I haven't scrolled too far down, but no images in the first 5-10 posts load for me. Anyone else?

Earlier on, I think thread pics on NAM had to be hosted offsite and the non-loading pics are mostly due to broken links.

RB is correct .... NAM hosting the photos themselves is a fairly recent change

the thread you use an example goes back to 2006 ... back then a bunch of us would put a picture on a PhotoBucket free account and imbed a link in a message on NAM to display the image ... then PhotoBucket got greedy and disabled those links unless to paid a LARGE fee .... resulting in a bunch of dead links .......

In other cases folks just did away with the accounts with other (paid) sources hosting the images ...... same result, dead images ....

Safari is not the browser I use routinely but I just fired it up and checked some recent 'picture heavy' posts and had NO issues ....
