 * I’m loving this plugin. Been waiting for something like it for a long time. I
   am having an issue with a long delay in my first image loading. The image is 
   less than 200kb or there abouts and am wondering why it’s taking so long. I have
   5 images in the set. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Hello Frank,
 * According to the “PHP Image Cache” plugin you are using, the first image “bg-
   01.jpg” does not exist. A [direct call to that URL](http://graystone-inc.com/wp-content/plugins/php-image-cache/image.php?path=/wp-content/uploads/bg-01.jpg)
   returns “Image not found”.
 * This throws off Background Manager, because normally it waits for the image to
   finish loading before displaying it – in this case, there’s nothing to load (
   and “PHP Image Cache” returns a `200 OK` nontheless).
 * Although I have tested “PHP Image Cache” with Background Manager with success,
   I’d suggest deactivating it to see if this solves your issue.

 * Thanks for the prompt reply. I’ve had to delete the plugin, but will try it one
   more time. Great work on the plugin.
