Bug report - Pending Dropdown Images loading slowly

So when I leave poal open for a while and continue browsing where I left it, the drop down pics take forever to load. I don't know if this is just because I left it open, and I haven't tested it fully but it's just something I noticed. It gets annoying cuz I like to browse all the content ever so I don't want to reload and lose my position, which will usually fix this.

I'll test it over the weekend and see how load times are affected the longer a page stays open.

when you say "dropdown images" do you mean loading them within poal's expando?

Which page/section does it happen in?

yes sorry, not sure what it's called. When browsing through posts and there's a button to just see the image inline and not change the page.

It happens in any section, but I usually just browse the Front Page or ALL and sort by hot and then by new when I see the same stuff.

So what you mean is that you go to /all/hot and open image posts in the expando and leave them opened that way for a while, then when you come back on that tab, it becomes laggy?

Then to fix it you just have to refresh that same tab or do you have to completely close it and open a new one?

No it doesn't matter if I have opened images in the expando. If I leave the page open and come back to it (maybe like 15 minutes later) and then try opening in expando, images take long to load. maybe over 20-30 seconds. Any image.

To fix it I can refresh the page or just open a new tab or click to another page, but staying there keeps everything slow. I don't know if it gets slower the longer I stay on it or it just hits a point where loading is slow.
