Problems with portfolio images/links

Hello,

I raised this problem some time ago now but at the time there were no other reports so you couldn’t take it any further. However, it is becoming increasingly frustrating for me and for clients who are reporting this is occurring on all browsers. Basically it seems that on slower internet connections (mine is 1mb – not overly slow) pages with portfolio grids are very hit and miss when it comes to loading all of the images correctly in the grid. Sometimes the images get chopped off half way by images below, sometimes you can barely see the images below and most of the time you cannot see the pagination because the bottom row of images cover it. Sometimes the bottom row of images even appear on top of the footer. It seems this always happens when the viewer scrolls down the page before the content is fully loaded. I have tried multiple type of configuration including minimal grid configuration (9 in 3 columns) but it still happens. I tried masonry but this was even worse – the footer was almost completely covered. I have tried removing sliders, making the content as minimal as possible and nothing works.

It is more of a problem because the viewer cannot see the pagination – therefore does not know there are other pages within the portfolio.

It has to be a timing issue, as advised, if the viewer does not scroll down and waits for the page to load there are no problems – I can’t tell every viewer to the website to be patient and wait for all the elements to load. If the areas within the portfolio grid were static I am sure it would help but as each entry is loaded the page grows and this seems to be the root of the problem, the other areas are not increasing in size to compensate.

It is getting to the point where I am considering rebuilding using another theme but to be honest that is a couple of months of necessary work.

please take a look at the links below.

Thanks
