websites in safari not fully loading

[paulold]

Been experiencing a slight nuisance with Safari. I've set up a folder of bookmarks and added it to my bookmarks bar, which enables me to load all of my favorite sites at the same time, each in their own tab. But sometimes, not all of the websites load fully. Sometimes I end up with a tab that has some of the website loaded with most of the graphics left as little blue question mark placeholders. If I then refresh the page, it loads fine. What's causing this?

My harddrive is getting full - I plan of doing some maintenance there. Is that it? Or is it some temporarily blip in my internet signal?

Oh, and I do know how to reset Safari, which does make my browser happier but doesn't really clear up this issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
