Website server issues, please help... *PIC*

My web service (Ipower) recently switched platforms and I'm having issues with my site now. When I try to load a page (a project page for example) it takes a while to load and pictures are missing leaving a placeholder with an X. If I refresh the page then a different set of pictures doesn't appear. Right-clicking on the placeholders (X) and selecting "Show Picture" reveals the picture perfectly.

So I'm wondering if this has to do with the new platform or if it is because there some kind of "time-out" that stops loading pictures after a certain amount of time. Either way it really stinks because I have a fast internet connection and my site loads slowly with randomly missing pictures (something that never happened before... I think there were times when it was slow but never pictures missing).

Could some of you go to my site and click on a few projects to see if you are getting the same symptoms? If anybody has an idea of what might be going on please let me know. I informed Ipower of the service error that I'm getting but I'll have to wait for a reply. Thanks in advance for any help.

URL won't load at 7:30 pm EST

As of 7:45 EST, main page loads very quickly,
but "loading page" is blinking, and can't get to
some of your links.

I'd guess the database or PHP has crashed or
needs to be killed and restarted. Just a guess, though..

Hi Roman,

The 1st time into your website, I timed out. I clicked on reload and the page came right up. The projects loaded almost instantly. I'm using Firefox with Faster Fox installed.

Everything comes up for me the first time around using Firefox. They may have been transferring data from one server to the next and that may have caused your problem. Just my shot in the dark...

I was thinking it was your local cache, on your machine. I was wondering if you had purged it.

It seems like a lot of people are having success with FireFox. I've tried both IE and FireFox and both have similar symptoms but my version of FireFox may be older. It seems like the data for the webpage comes through in spurts with long delays in between. If I just happen to catch it at a point where the data transfer rate is high then the page seems to load fine. The problem is when it gets stuck loading a page. I noticed that sometimes it will load most of the page really fast and then suddenly halt as it tries to load the remaining pictures. I'm still not quite sure what is going on but it doesn't make me very happy when a service that I am paying for is no longer reliable. I'll have to wait to see what Ipower's response is but in the meantime thanks for your help and keep the suggestions coming if anybody has any revelations. Right now I suspect that it is an issue on their end that some browsers can overcome.

IE seems to load a bit slower than firefox, but both seem to work OK at this end.

The text loaded quickly for me in Firefox on my PC at work, but some of the images took a long time, like over a minute to load.

I had the same issues as you describe (pics not loading, refresh loses different pics, etc.) running Firefox...
