<p>Hi all, just arrived from a long holiday time. I agree the new rules are interesting... let`s go:<br /><br /><em>"A traditional "Giants" feast in northern Spain... "</em><br /> <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wqsz-SS9WZ8/UEhQ3NyCX9I/AAAAAAAAAI0/JClfZI6vAao/s1600/party1.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" /></p>

<p><em>"Oops! The "Giant" is to big to cross this tunnel... oh, wait... "</em><br /> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b27K1AReJ0E/UEhQ_6N0GcI/AAAAAAAAAI8/Ls1V5h4R7FY/s1600/party2.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="700" /></p>

<p><em>"Great... let`s continue with the party ! Have fun!"</em><br /> <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qvC3b4sCQCk/UEhUAGVnqUI/AAAAAAAAAJU/c5TrSZ6y9LM/s1600/party3.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="700" /></p>

<p>One more shot.....</p>

<p>PS. I think 3 images per person is a great idea. So many times I had a few images I wanna share but I have to decide on only one and a week later I can't share them anymore coz I have new stuff in the oven.... I think this will work well....<br>

I just hope John P. doesn't mind it!! Hehehe....</p><div></div>

<p>I do not know, if it is only me, but it takes about 5 minutes for my PC and laptop respectively to see all photos this week, whereas in the past all photos have been shown fast as expected.<br>

Any change except the 3 photos per person?</p>

[lex_jenkins]

<p>Erik, long photo threads like this have recently been tweaked to load differently. See this thread: <a href="../site-help-forum/00aimD">Fancy new way of loading images on long forum threads... </a></p>

<p>Also, try a couple other tricks:</p>

<ul>

<li>A different browser (Chrome sometimes works a little faster for me than Firefox).</li>

<li>If possible with your ISP, try resetting your DSL modem.</li>

<li>Run a traceroute to see if there's a bottleneck somewhere. This is usually the problem in my area when photo.net seems slower than other sites I routinely visit.</li>

</ul>

<p>My browser is also acting funny..... I used Safari and I don't like 3rd party browsers....<br>

For example, all the pictures loaded individually (1 post 1 image) I see them right away as I did before BUT those like <strong>SHUN and STUART MOXHAM </strong>which have more than 1 image in one post I can't see them right away. Stuart's shots I didn't see them on Wednesday or Thursday I just saw them a few minutes ago.</p>

<p>I need to apologize in advance for posting some very sad news, but after seeing Paul B.'s bride "trash the dress" images with the bride standing in a river??, it reminds me the sad news that recently, a Canadian bride drowned in a slightly similar situation. After the wedding gown got wet, it became very heavy and pulled the bride under water: http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/bride-drowns-while-modelling-wedding-gown-near-rawdon-1.928876</p>

<p>I am glad that the bride Paul photographed did not get very deep into the water and got to go home safe.</p>

[paul_b.1]

<p>So sad...I am very sorry to hear about that unfortunate accident. It was the bride request, to photograph her in that shallow river... Please Shun , delete that picture.</p>

[StuartMoxham]

<p>I don't know why my pics would load slowly. They are linked images uploaded to my photo net gallery. They are larger than 700px in the longest dimension so I guess it could be the forum software that resizes them takes some time. I also run Safari on an iMac and it takes a while of all of the pics to load but that is usually caused by having an internet connection share by my entire terrace.</p>

[Rene11664880918]

<p>1- SHUN.... Sad story but I think you did the right thing...... If one day someone ask me to do that kind of shooting, i will say NO. Thank you for sharing.......</p>

<p>2- Paul B..... We enjoyed your work..... Let it be there.....</p>

<p>3- Stuart.... It must be my computer or my browser... we will learn about it.....</p>

<p>4- John P..... Wish you the best next week!!</p>

[ShunCheung]

<p>I'll keep this off-topic discussion short: I convinced Paul B. that there is nothing wrong with his "trash the dress" image, but at least I would like to use the opportunity to remind everybody that something that is intended to be fun can unexpectedly become tragic. There are already a couple of threads on that incident on our Wedding Forum:</p>
