Images sporadically not loading (5 posts)

    A handful of my blog readers are reporting that our images are suddenly not loading on our site for them. Had it been one person I would've brushed it off, but the comments have come regularly enough that I have to think something is up.

    • We use Amazon S3 to host our images.
    • Most reports seem to be related to IE, but also some from Firefox
    • Someone also said it's not showing in Google Reader

    Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts

    sounds like an issue with how IE handles images being pulled in from Amazon. IE is crap at the best of times! why aren't you hosting the images on the server where the wp install is? shortest rout between two points is a straight line...

    Thanks for the thought (totally agreed on IE). We split up the hosting of images and the site for cost and efficiency reasons, as we found our site were loading faster that way.

    Unfortunately I don't think the issue is isolated to IE, but I'm having trouble getting more information about of the commenters who are seeing the issue.

    Is it possible some of the images are CMYK? I know IE won't display them while other browsers will.

    Thanks for the thought, David. I didn't know that! But ours are RGB so that doesn't seem to be the problem we're having.

    I appreciate your help though!
