Thumbnail loading and other issues...

It seems quite frequently a handful of thumbnails fail to load on a page. Examining the requests with firefox's network monitor I find the request waiting for a response until it returns a 404. Reloading the page a few times usually fixes it or directly viewing the thumbnail. Although sometimes they're more stuburn and continue to fail. Other times most of the requests end as 503 and 500 errors which would definitely be on DAs end.

Firefox also reports any deviantart pages opened as loading until presumably whatever request holding things up times out. The network monitor shows no pending requests. Sometimes it seems javascript doesn't run on deviation pages as favoriting is unresponsive (both the button and dragging to the favorites bar), though this is less common and a refresh usually fixes it. Using an adblocker doesn't appear to have an effect on these issues.

I haven't been able to find any info on the issue, although there isn't really a technical forum to discuss such issues on deviantart. Just tickets as I understand. Anyone else having these issues? This has been going on for several months now.

I had the same problem no matter what browser I use. (I use FF on one account, IE 11 on another). the images are getting better at loading...or come up with a little X in the corner. Too many of those. :shrug: It's a pain. ^_^
