Hello,

I can not get tinypic.com or any pictures in forums hosted at tinypic.com to load.

And I can not figue out what is causing the issue.

Could Avast be causiong the problem?

I did disable Avast but tinypic.com still will not load.

I even intsalled Windows from a Image I has and I still can not load tinypic.com.

Can any one help?

I am running Windows 7 64 Bit and Avast 5.1.889

My ISP is Comcast

Please go to PROFILE then Modify Profile then Forum Profile Information then select your country in Please select your country: then update your Signature: with information like my signature as this helps the helpers offer pertinent advice then you will not have to keep entering Windows 7 64 Bit and Avast 5.1.889

No problem going to tinypic.com for me however all pics are saved elsewhere:

No problem accessing Tinypic for me either, following links from TVTropes. Several that I got sent to look as if they’re cut off at the bottom, but that may just be their standard for non-members like me.

Update!!!

Ok this is very strange!

I finally figrerd out why tinypic.com was not loading.

In both of my desktops computers I have a Intel Gigabit CT NIC card. And I have “Jumbo Packet” Enabled. I was using “9014Bytes” So just for the heck of it I disabled “Jumbo Packet” and right after doing that tinypic.com now loads up almost instantly.

As soon as I re enable “Jumbo Packet” tinypic.com will not load again.

This has been driving be insane trying to figure out what was causing tinypic.com not too load. And I am very happy I now know why :slight_smile:

But now I have to figure out why enabling “Jumbo Packet” would cause tinypic.com not to load in the first place.

And also I am now wondering if I really even need to use “Jumbo Packet” option?

MTU on the internet is around 1500 bytes. The ‘jumbo packet’ will only do you any good on a LAN. I think the peer on the LAN would also have to support it for any benefit.
