Picture "Loading" problem

It was an add-on IE8 with winXP, probably should be the same on any OS.
Try go to IE8 tools/manage add-ons look at your least which ones are disabled and what's enabled, write it down so that set it back as it was if you nedd to, and start disabling what you think is not needed. It is a bit trial and error thing, I got mine from the first try.
Hope it works for you too.
Good luck
In your description of the problem there is a symptom that you did not mention.
If you move off the initial image to a secondary image, the "loading" icon doesn't show up (you noted this). However if you move to a second secondary image and then come back to the first secondary image, it will have the loading issue.
Just thought I would mention it, in case it is a clue.
Still
like LoneWolf posted below, the loading icon stays on the picture, and yes, it stays there for as long as you look at the first photo until you look at the second. Also, if you click on the first photo or any other you have already clicked on, it will only show the loading icon and it will not actually load the image.
As you might also want to know, this bug is also present when you are editing/making an instructable, so it is difficult when you have to refresh the page just to look back and make sure you got the captions right.
I use IE9 and Windows 7, and i hope that you guys can fix this soon!
IBT
Does refreshing the page make it go away, or if it isn't there, does it make it come back?
I'm not seeing it on my browser, if you wouldn't mind testing those few things for me. If we can figure out what causes it, we can figure out how to fix it. Do you have firefox? Do you get the same issues there?
In the meantime, make sure you are browsing the site on Firefox and that you clear your browser cache.
Clearing cache didn't help, but clearing all cookies seems to have fixed login problem. Still getting "loading" and picture overlap. Will try Firefox, but that's just a workaround.
Right, here goes...
Since the new 'slideshow' feature came along, I've also had this 'Loading' problem, along with thumbnails appearing on top of, or above, the main picture - which is often in the middle of the entire screen (ie: half-covering the 'FEATURED' column as well). Switching to 'compatability mode' only cures it for the step I'm on, so I have to switch that off when I'm on the next step (etc., etc., etc.), and if I go back to the first picture on a page, the 'Loading' returns - without actually showing that first picture.
On my home(?) page, the first line of the list of Instructables I'm subscribed to is now so far out, that it almost lines up perfectly with the next across.
The odd thing is, I viewed Kiteman's post (from a subscription update) about the slideshow feature, and that one works perfectly... So, unless there's some difference in the coding used there as opposed to every other Instructable, there shouldn't be any problem...
PLUS I'm still getting 'Login' problems... Every time I come to the site, I seem to be loogged out. At first, I tried logging in correctly, but then didn't notice one day, and clicked a thumbnail, and got a request to 'sign up or login', and have been doing that since - until today, when, I tried logging in correctly again, but that single act logged me in - WITHOUT having to enter a sinlge thing (or do any more clicking, or anything).
I'll admit that I've often had 'Login/out' problems, where I can find myself logged out for no apparent reason several times a week, yet other times I can stay logged in for a month or more, even if I only visit a couple of times. But I've never had it quite as bad as this has been, and given its coincidental(?) appearance with this new slideshow feature, I am assuming the two are connected.
And, just in case it helps, I am running XP Pro, SP3, and IE8.
It seems to occur on all instructibles, even ones that I have never visited before (not in the cache from previous viewing).
