I was just told that Auctiva photos are known to be slow-loading

No. I'm on cable modem and I wouldn't consider the picture loading to be slow... maybe a couple of seconds but really, that's not slow.

We are on regular dial up (actually a little slower than regular, as we are usually around 42 Kbps) and I do not consider Auctiva's images to be slow loading. This was one of my considerations before choosing to list with Auctiva. I figure if they are not too slow to me then they shouldn't be slow for most others. I do notice when looking at some auctions, their whole page tends to load very slow. I think some of this may be caused by all of the extra stuff they have in their template, not sure? And these are not all listed with Auctiva.

I'm on dsl and I wouldn't consider them slow either. Sometimes the images in the gallery are slow but not the listing itself.

Maybe their impression was formed during the turmoil of a few months ago when things were a bit wonky and occasionally unreliable. I imagine it'll take a bit for some people to forget about that.

Thanks. This discussion came up after they tried to view pictures in my auction yesterday. Three different people said it took a minute or so for the pics to appear. My pics are all under 70k, most under 50k.

Humm, I've had them take a few seconds before like maybe 30 but never longer. they seem to be loading faster then ever on my end. I'd suggest filing a support ticket.
