Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone has been facing this but until recently a lot of the preview images in Akiba-online seems to go missing when using FireFox (v3.0.10) for whatever reason. If I open the same link in another browser, it appears correctly.

I wonder if anyone has the same problem?

I was using NoScript v1.9.3.3 but I've disabled it without any improvements.

Appreciate any suggestion, thanks!

Preview images are generated via PHP scripts. While the page you're viewing might load, some of the PHP scripts that are called to load the preview images will fail because of the high server load (previously it was the FastCGI errors, now it's the 503 "Service Unavailable" errors) and your page won't be able to display the picture.

Rest assured it's not a problem with your browser or your extensions. It's just that when you load a single page, you're actually calling several dozen PHP scripts, and when the server is busy it just can't handle dozens of requests for every single active user. If you browse when AO is less busy you should have no problems loading all preview images.

guy... thanks

The weird thing though, it started happening on recently & this doesn't seem to be a problem with say IE8... or Safari.

So, not exactly sure if it's to do with congestion. I do get those fastCGI messages.

Anyway.. I'll give it a bit of time & see how it goes.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 and I've noticed this recently.
I get the text link but not the image.
But a single click on the image text link and the image shows up.

Hi... i think I've discovered what happened here.

It's actually a setting in Firefox, under Tools - Options - Content - Load Images Automatically Exceptions

I found that Akiba-online was listed there. I'm not sure how it got there but once I removed it, the problem seems to solved.

Hope this helps you as well.
