Strange behavior with Attachments.

On 4-5 occasions over the last month, I have experienced strange behavior with attachments in some posts. Here is one from today. Notice how the first two JPGs in Viking33's post are displayed as names only.

When the page is reloaded, I get all attachments displayed as they should be.

Any thoughts on what is happening and where I should look?

It might be a problem with our server - if there is a heavy load (for example when digests are being sent out, or if large numbers of bots are visiting lounge pages), part of a page's content might be delayed. It could also be a bottleneck somewhere between our server and your computer...
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks for the possible explanation, Hans. The issue is just a minor annoyance as far as I am concerned. I will keep an eye on it for any further developments and report back.
Regards,
Paul
