So it would never load images 23-40? Or would it load after a while?
I don't have an iPad right now, but I am testing iOS 4.3 on the iPhone 4. When I load that Boston.com site, I get the checkerboard as I scroll down the site, but then after a bit, the images do load up. All the images end up loading. No question marks. But as I scroll back and forth quickly amongst the site, the checkerboard sometimes comes back up.
Do you see the checkerboard pattern still, even though all the images are still loading?
