Hey all, if you are a dial-up user and would like to significantly speed things up on this forum one easy thing to do is to change your settings in the Control Panel so that all the pics/avatars and sigs don't load up automatically.
To do this click on "User CP", then "Edit Options". Then scroll down til you see the "Thread View Options" where you have the following choices:
Show user's signatures in their posts? yes no
Show user's avatar in their posts? yes no
Show image attachments and [img] code in Posts?
Selecting no will show a hyperlink instead.
Hope this helps
