Every time I try to join a server, it just says "Waiting content...(press Esc to cancel)" and doesn't enter. The command box says
PNG warning: Interface handling should be turned on when using png_read_image.
How can I fix this problem?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

That is perfectly fine. Just continue waiting so that all the content from the server is downloded, and you will be able to play as usual. Then you will not have to wait as long for that server.
Some servers with a lot of mods installed may time you out if your internet is slow.

Yeah it matters on how much, mods if it just, normal everything it takes about 4-7 secs for me on "Waiting content...(press Esc to cancel)"

It has taken me p to half an hour with a slow connection and servers with excessively much media data. In such cases, downloading the cache folder directly may speed up things. Subsequent connections are way faster.
A list of my mods can be found here.

When there is some kind of firewall or other networking problem I have seen it just hang on that loading page too. If there's some kind of timeout set, it must have a very long duration.
