Kintamayama 44,350 Posted July 4, 2007 If you're using Firefox (as you should be..) just press the stop icon. Pictures will stop loading immediately and you'll be able to read. Maybe it works for IE as well, who nose.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakusotsu 5,813 Posted July 4, 2007 Maybe it works for IE as well, who nose.. It does. My pavlov's inner self is already conditioned to aim for the stop button everytime I enter this thread. And here's the trick for not missing any unseen pictures: highlight the new post to spot the image frames, right-click them and select "show image". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
