    Can anyone answer why Fotopic is so slow in loading? Just clicking on a Fotopic photo link on here to view one picture takes forever & an age. It can't be doing the contributors any favours. It's not just happened, it's always been the same at regular intervals. All other photo/video sites like YouTube are ok, almost instant.

    The fotopic site seems to have been more tempremental today. I couldn't load photos this morning, and the background was missing earlier this evening. I also noticed that the hits and stats details were not loading when I was uploading pictures tonight.

    However, it doesn't appear to be slow loading at the monment.
