Maybe it could work for the people having issues with images not loading properly as well?
I haven't had that issue since they tweaked something at the image proxy side, except for when I made the 'Homage to The Block Erupter' post and had to refresh often to fix formatting issues (SMF is so fickle when it comes to table column widths.), thus running into the new limits. Note that I still don't know why Chrome creates so many simultaneous connections in the first place, but at least for regular forum browsing, all is well on that front.

My problem got solved. It was a cache issue in firefox

style sheet's broken again, but oddly only on firefox. Working fine on Safari. w.e.i.r.d....
Did you try to force refresh?
Yup... everything. posted screenshots on a thread I started for this earlier

Try what theymos suggested (try going to the stylesheet directly).

Been bad for the last couple of days,
Now working 95% of the time!
Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Style sheets aren't loading reliably either.
I've never really understood the allure of custom forum development when mature extensible solutions like vbullitin exist and are most certainly capable of handling bitcointalk's throughput...
To be honest SMF is not so bad either really...

Interesting link, cAPSLOCK. I tried searching for a way to limit the number of simultaneous connections per host, and there was a whole lot of discussion about how it's not possible, or old discussions about how it's possible if you change a windows/IE registry key (I guess Chrome could be re-using those), etc. but they all seemed to say that Chrome was limiting itself to just a handful of connections anyway, and were people asking about how to increase that limit.
Either way, it does appear to be fixed/worked around - though I can understand it being undesirable on bitcointalk.org's end. Not sure if the new forum software under development can help there, though in theory a page can dynamically insert content in a staggered manner, so that e.g. only 4 images are loaded at a time.

I think that I figured it out. Chrome was creating so many connections that the server was temporarily thinking of you as an attacker and dropping your packets. Other browsers also do this sometimes, though not as much. I increased the limits for this. But really, browsers should not be creating 30+ connections to the same server...
Thanks for the fix...
Seems a discussion with devs was here:

Thank you! This fixed it.
Proxy test.
All of those worked for me on first load. This time. lets see what happens again
Next load the last image didnt work.. but overall more seems to be working.

People have been complaining about this the last week or so:
I use chrome and personally haven't had ANY problems viewing images. I also automatically block cookies.
ive been getting about 50/50 luck of images showing over the last few days. Theymos clearly doesnt put much effort into server upgrades for the site
Not sure it's Theymos' fault, nor that it's a server/hardware problem. It seemed to happen all at once, and the rest of the site loads decent. Subject line says it all
Why have embedded photos stopped working on this site?

It probably is a Chrome thing, due to it not sending the Cookie(s) for some of the images. Haven't seen any bug reports on that, though.

fwiw - none of those loaded here 
Edit: woop - now they do.
Edit: yeah, no, now they don't.

And for what it's worth look at what I am currently typing into:
Hopefully you can see it. It's a broken jpeg for me.
I am getting a 502 for the image links. Perhaps you are doing something now Theymos.

A lot of images arent loading properly. It was much better before!
EDIT: Around 90% of the images.
