I have this sometimes. Usually a refresh helps. I only normally get it though if I'm being impatient for the page to fully load and trying to scroll down whilst it's still loading. Now I just wait for the blue bar in safari to finish all the way across and haven't had a problem when I do that. This only happens on Mobile Internet though. At home on the wifi it doesn't happen. :happy2:

Mine is a 64gb wifi only. I use a mifi for mobile Internet.

Usually it's down to slow internet connections for me. How quick is your internet and does it happen at anytime or just peak times ( I.e. 4-8pm etc)?

On the m3 thread I'm getting a few blue squares with a small white question mark in it......never noticed an issue before on this forum.

I'm on mine now and get it occasionally. I think it's to do with the limitations of the iPad. Ie it will fill up it's cache to the point where it has no more space to download and display pictures. It will only happen on very pic heavy threads
