I'm glad to see this issue brought up. I'm not someone who posts pictures, but I enjoy looking at pics posted by others. Usually, they are the thumbnails, which I click on and then they open up to a more easily viewable size.
DC, I have to skip over any of your posts that contain photos, because they are always huge and take forever to load on my screen. While the photos are loading, the text of your post is also taking up way more than the allotted screen space I have, so I'm unable to even read that.

And, BTW, I am always on my desktop computer when I visit the OB, never a phone, tablet, or any small device.
I've wanted to mention this for a long time but didn't know if it was just me having the issue for some reason.
