OT: Why are all thread graphics fuzzy?
Suddenly, every photo posted in every thread on CF is fuzzy, as if I'm looking at it through frosted glass. This is true of every subforum. Starting yesterday. Is anyone else experiencing this? What is the cure? Thanks for any insight.

It seems a forum “update” was installed and it has impacted several things including posting pictures. It takes longer and if you are impatient your picture doesn’t post. I wonder if they are related?

Just was over in the C2 for sale section and the pictures loaded fuzzy and slowly cleared up and became sharp. Might be something that is going to get "fixed" shortly.

The picture loading has changed to what's called "lazy loading" by loading the image in a lower resolution - at first. This allows a quicker loading and response time by not forcing your browser and network to download all images at higher resolution at one time. This also helps with the infinite scrolling feature. This feature is also used on some other websites, even outside this network, for the reasons stated.

Lazyloading
This is a terrible feature. Some of the large quantities of photos never load. Any chance of going back to how it was before?

The quicker loading of inferior, low-quality images is a poorly thought-out "improvement." In fact, it's downright annoying and off-putting. I've opened a thread and waited 15 minutes for the fuzz to go away, but it doesn't clear up. As a result, I'm spending less time on CF and more time on other Corvette forums.

Please report what browser you're using and what extensions. If you're using 3rd party plugins that alter the appearance and/or functionality then that is most likely the issue. The feature works on the common browsers.

Obviously it shouldn't take 15 minutes. It should be fairly responsive.

I just clicked on an Off Topic thread with graphics and none of them were less than very fuzzy after waiting for five minutes. Very frustrating. Hope you can figure out the problem.

Regarding the Apple OS, that might be an issue we need to look further into as they don't always handle code the same as other browsers on other platforms.
