The image could not be loaded

Hey Dave

I’ve been seeing this message a lot using apple devices. Is this a safari problem or a site problem?

I’ve been seeing it ever since the new site was launched and am only now saying something.

I’m not sure off hand – do you know what images weren’t loaded?

Is anyone else here seeing this on Safari?

This could be a resource limit restriction of Safari but I’m not 100% sure that’s what is being encountered here.

Here is a thread with photos that won’t load on my iPhone but they will on the iPad.

I get the same issue when trying to view the image from my ipod touch. It looks like this is indeed a case of to large an image for Safari to load.

We’ll have to add some sane resizing of the full sized images that are being linked to from the thumbnails. (another item for the list I have)

Is there any reason why my ipad loads this photo just fine?

I have seen photos that the ipad wouldn’t load as well.

The ipad has more resources (ram/resolution/processor) available than an iphone/ipod so it is able to handle some of the bigger images that these can not.

I’ll try doing a test with the image that fails to see at which point it would be displayed. Unfortunately if I am understanding some of the information I’ve come across there is also issues with pages containing more than 10 megabytes of images. Since we’re allowing 8 megabytes max size and I know some of our pages go over 2 in size on their own it could be hitting this restriction in total size.

I’m surprised by these limits with Safari considering there doesn’t seem to be an issue with other browsers on android phones. (maybe older android phones?)
