Not a fan of the images being on the Search page, but because I think that people should be able to see them if they want to then I'd like the option to turn them off via a setting.

This is also a constant battle for me. The site seemed very responsive after the upgrade and would not hang on "Waiting to connect…" anymore but now while it will load I find that pages will frequently go to "Sorry down for maintenance" and it's hit or miss with picture previews (if it's going to "Sorry down" it won't load pictures). I usually am on the site from 10:30pm - 12:00am PDT.

Same here, not able to see preview pics since yesterday 6/18/2016
