Hey cjoles,
I’m glad the solution that Brian has provided is working for you on the images!
I’m personally unable to recreate the timeout issue, I’ll run the issue, along with the comments from your hosting provider by our developers to see if this is something that we would potentially be able to address. However, with the nature of the plugin needing to create a new event for each Facebook event that is being processed, I’m not sure how much we would be able to reduce the load described by the host.
Thanks!
