Most images fail to load (Not Found)

The photos on iNaturalist and AWS work for me. The problem is your internet connection.

For some additional context, loading photos on the website from you web browser is a result of a direct connection between your web browser and Amazon Web Services (AWS), and iNaturalist does not have any impact on that connection. We could obviously choose to use different a different provider or different services. But given that we are using AWS, loading photos is a direct connection between a user’s web browser and AWS and does not involve iNaturalist servers. In this case, it seems like AWS, or your Internet service provider, or somewhere in between, is having issues preventing the images from display, or causing them to display slowly.

By the way, it’s my first time here on the forum and the editor is horribly slow. I don’t know what kind of JavaScript sorcery the site is doing to achieve this but it definitely shouldn’t take several seconds before the characters I type appear on screen.

I’m guessing your slow speed on the forum is also related to your internet connection.
