Interesting. Mozilla under Linux doesn't seem to have that problem. It does eventually give an "operation timed out" error, but that's it.

I'm using, at work NS4.7 on WinNT. And yes, it does hang there, 'contacting online.mirabilis.com' and will not render the tables. (I've noticed that the 4.x iteration handles the construction of tables remarkably BADLY and if you do a stop in the middle of loading an image in a table, the table will not render at all. But this is the Corporate Standard, and we cannot change it.)

What happens to me seems to happen across the board - NS4.78, NS6.1 and whatever the latest Mozilla milestone is (which seems functionally identical to NS6, making me wonder what the point is) all do it on big-o's console. I haven't tried it with Opera lately, because Opera has other problems, like rendering the forums entirely in bright blue or leaving out every other icon in the control row for no apparent reason. (NS6.1 under Windows ME does that too, for some bizarre reason. Browsers are freaking weird.)

The behavior I usually see with this is that it will render the page with the size box and the "I haven't found this yet" icon there - but if I try to leave the page, it can't move on to the new one until it's given up trying to pull the icon from Mirabilis.

I find this doubly annoying for a purely partisan and selfish reason; unable to see the charm of ICQ in the first damn place, I'm irritated at being inconvenienced by a "feature" whose only function is to indicate something to do with it. I have no more use for instant-messaging functions than I have for an anvil.

FYI, for me at least, everything else does, indeed, render, but my borwser keeps plugging away hunting for the missing image. More annoying than it is actually troublesome, which is why I haven't made a comment sooner.
