[QUOTE="sp00ner77, post: 4265476, member: 71800"] I'm also stuck on dial-up. The only major slowdown when I'm on the forum is when I click on a thread with a lot of hotlinked or attached pictures - both those who are allowed to (approved content providers & OCSMs) but also people who aren't. Seems to be the most ****** rule on the forum. There's' also been one poster in particular who's been hotlinking animated gifs A LOT recently - bad enough when I run into the thread with the large pictures but GIFs brings my computer to a halt. I thought this was against the board rules or am I wrong? The way I understood that was that clickable thumbnails were ok and now youtube videos as of a few months ago. :dunno: @ D-rock You may want to also disable the flash player in your add-ons menu (if you haven't already) so the youtube stuff doesn't show up on screen.
