Colin Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Ian, now im sure im like a lot of people upon this site, but im only running a 56k modem, and some people have some seriously HUGE signatures that are almost 200k, and when there are a few of em on a page, its taking ages to load, is there anychance we could maybe get this sorted, I know its a bit bitchy, but i don't got broadband, and it REALLY annoys me some nights, and can't be arsed to wait 3 minates to load a page! Better get off me soap box, any chance you could menction this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Well my computer doesw all that, but its still really slow, and im ona good set-up PC with a good 56k connection (46k, with a 4.8 k download most times!), and no WAX, im not download those pictures of your mum again............. No i've noticed this recently, that the site is slowing down in a big way, maybe more users etc? But there are some seriously large signatures that are huge, Sparki's (sorry to use you mate!), is near 170K, which takes a good minate or two to load on a dumpy connection like mine, now imagine that, with a few more and you get the problem! AGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME BROAD BAND NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBoy Remixed Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 i know what it was like on 56k (aint long had broadband) i was on freeserve and a page full of pictures etc would take a good 5 mins easy it got to the point where cause of the huge files, the reply i was about to make had become irelevant (although they usually are) since ive had broadband though no problems :ghost: :ghost: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort_16v Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I agree it can be a pain when your on dial up but dont remove sigs all together. This happened on another site I use and all you get now is "When are sigs coming back" Maybe we should just limit our sigs to an agreed size?
