Would this site run faster without all the car pics?
« on: October 01, 2008, 05:18:24 PM »

I mean the huge pics that people have in their sigs.  Wouldn't they do better in the gallery.  No offense to the primered cars but I hate to see them EVERY time those people post.  It would also make it easier to read as you scroll down.  Please don't take offense.  Just a suggestion.

most of the sigs and avatars are actually small in size like 150k or less ... all the pics I use in pots are stored on a different site,  photobucket, so they are just links, not photos on the host server BTW I like the primer cars as much as the really nice ones so keep the primer pics coming ... we can't all have $40,000 cars

No, Jen I like your car.  The stance is very good and looks clean.  The primered cars just came to mind because they seem to be the most memorable.  There's a few in the sig's that never seem to change?  No big deal though.  Just a thought.

I won't take your signature away!  Grin

Mine's so sneaky cause you think might think it's really nice, but it's just on par with those primer cars, don't tell anyone.  Smiley

That's your problem, your dial-up is slower than those primered cars with three flat tires!

Gotta keep Jen's and James' Darts. They remind me of the one I had in 76. Of the 3 69 340 Swingers I had the primered one is the only one I ever raced. It was primer gray with purple flames, Joe.

From the looks of your car, it actually needs a bit of primer.  Grin

It's not the pics. Primarily it's the number of topics on the board - it's getting bloated, and it's taking much longer for the database to run through it all. whenever the server has alot of traffic, it gets a bit bogged down. I'm slowly working on it...
