Anyone else having problems with getting pictures to load from this new WoodenBoat service? From time to time, I am able to access them, but mostly I am not able to. Very frustrating!

I have the same problem. I don't know for sure, but I think it's the same problem I have anytime pictures are big. This is due to my painfully slow dial-up connection. Never had the problem when I had high speed. I've got a CLC Eastport Pram listed on there now, and I intentionally kept the pictures a little small so folks wouldn't have that problem. For me, those pictures always come up, while some others usually time out.

Actually, I have DSL, so I'm not sure picture size is the problem. In fact, I have been able to get a picture at one time and then, a bit later, have not been successful in getting the same pic. So far, the administrator of the site doesn't seem to know what to do. Perhaps if others have the same problem a fix can be found. Sure makes this part of the WB website not as useful as it could be, an important question for me as I have a Handy Billy I want to sell this spring!

Looks like poor web design to me -- some "Slave of Microsoft(tm)" using PC-centric software has built pages that don't work on my Mac running the latest software and Firefox browser. I'll guess that no cross-platform testing was done with this part of the WB website.

Here is all that I see when I click on a link -

The RSS feed link takes me to descriptive text but when i click on it -- it takes me back to the above page. Frustrating!
