Thanks everyone for he quick replies!

Josh, yes I have checked, they are all there. I’ve checked all the technical things, like making sure I’ve written in the right path, but it’s ALL my images.
In fact, sometimes when I go to a page, all of a sudden the category widget on the side bar will show that I have no categories, then I’ll refresh the page and boom! They are all there. Then I can come back 5 minutes later to find out it has disappeared again…

And esmi, I HAVE deactivated all the plugins on one of my websites, nothing changed, so I let it sit there. 10 hours later, everything on ALL my sites was back to normal, which was odd considering I only disabled plugins on one of my sites. So I activated the plugins one by one, and none of them had a problem. The site was still fine.

But then another 10 hours pass and it’s back to square one! 2 sites running slow, 2 running fine, all of my images do not work (unless they are in the sidebars) – it’s just the images in the content, both on posts AND pages.
(could it be that it takes a day or two for the site to realize plugins are activated or deactivated? Seems like it should work pretty instantly. Also, I only run about 4 or 5 plugins on my sites. OIO Publisher for ads, tweet button, facebook share button, akismet yet it is deactivated, and then on one of my sites I use wordpress audio player which works fine).

I’m scared about switching the theme, because I am running the Thesis theme, and wouldn’t want anything bad to happen like having to re-do all the aspects of the theme and colors and options. But, that’s what I’ll try right now. Thanks so much esmi!!

(I’ve also been talking with hostgator, they say nothing is wrong on their end, the server is fine, but it COULD be plugin issues…)

If you have any other suggestions as to why could this be happening, please share!
I just find it weird that my sites could look great one day, then the next day they could look horrible and load horrible. Same with the fact that one minute categories can be there, the next minute they disappear.
And also why images don’t work on any of my websites, yet only 2 of them run slow?
I guess I’ll give all 4 websites now if that will help you all see what I mean by 2 running fast and 2 running slow:

All 4 will sometimes have images in the content (posts and pages, not sidebars), and sometimes they will not (again, sidebars are fine, I know!).
Here’s the two that run extremely slow:
http://videointerweb.com
http://yourfreegraphics.com
Here’s the two that run fine (besides images…):
http://beatsroyaltyfree.com
http://webcoremedia.com

Any help is greatly appreciated!! I’m really just stuck. I wish I could create more content, because I have another month and a half where I can spend 12 hours a day building the sites, but I’m just worried about all these issues that suddenly come up right when I’m free…
Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far!
