This is what I see when I load Basil

So whenever I load basil, all I see are simple options (threads, etc) with no pictures showing. It's really annoying and until now I've wanted to do something about it. Does everyone see this and just deals with it or is it just me? It takes me around 2 minutes to fully load the page compared to when I used to take a few seconds to load. I'm pretty sure it's not my internet connection.

I'm having the same problems as you do, bro. Basil gave me nothing but a white page 5 minutes ago.[/quote]

Right, maintenance. Thank you.

[quote=Zero765]I'd go with rule 3 XD.
After the multiple Basil crashes, the video system has been out of it, errors still pop up eventually, this happens like every other time I go on this page..So I guess there still is kinks left out.
God, I hate that white, blocky,unfinished screen.[/quote]

It's running a li'l smoother for me right now, but sometimes it's just bad... The site's been down for mainta... mainte... maintai... [i]repairs[/i] pretty often the past few days.

@Chumm: Nothing's telling the users to click a link to an adult website either. Theoretically the answer is yes, but we have no way to prove who has changed the tags, so there's not much we could do except refilter Tinypic (and I don't know if that's going to happen).
I just ask people not to do it. The sentences and phrases formed by those tags are inappropriate and often quite offensive. I stopped shouting dirty words for fun when I was 7 years old. It's not mature and to many readers it is not funny either. If Tinypic is filtered again because of people putting up inappropriate tags we will be punishing many people for things they did not do.

Mr. B's been working on server problems for a while now. Your best bet as of late is just refreshing whenever there's a problem.

[quote=NiceGuys]Ok, who tagged that?[/quote]

I've always wondered why the heck Tinypic has that "tagging by strangers" feature anyway. It seems to do more harm than good. The site's URL has been filtered on Basil Market quite some time, I guess for that reason. Maybe I'll make a Tinypic account just to turn Tinypic tags into something harmless, because they are always turned into something racist or inappropriate.
We agreed that we do not hold the person who posted the link responsible for the tags, so the Thread Starter doesn't have to worry about being suspended.
These types of jokes aren't very funny...
