Whats the thing with your thread that the images are loading like a whole day?
About which thread you're talking about? Announcement thread or new competition thread.?
This one. I am like looking at the pale text for like half an hour
Check your internet connection, it loads normally in my PC as it takes few seconds only to load everything on the OP. It does not make senses if you need a half an hour for it if there is nothing wrong with your connection/browser.
