Question What do you all think? Soror LadyAKA asks....

[b] This is compliments of Soror LadyAKA...

Open ended but simple question -
We ask everyone to search and not re-post things that have been asked because we have
1) already talked about it and
2) because it takes forever to load this page
but I have seen lots of IMG tags lately and I was wondering if this too slows down the page. Actually I know it does, I do this for a living, but I wanted to know what the forum thought about this.

I don't know ANYTHING about #2....

Whenever it's hard to load this page, it's hard to load other GC pages as well. The SAME images are being loaded on the OTHER GC pages, too.

I'm not going to stop using those images, unless the site is no longer available.

I guess I'll have to be more patient, if these pages become too heavy to load right away.

That's what I think about it....

I wondered about this, but I thought that because GC did not block the IMG command that perhaps there was enough capacity. I didn't see a difference in the rate that the pages loaded with the images.

I guess I was reading through a lot of post and noticed all the faces, they are cute and I would love to use them some time but then I got the "search post" and you stated it takes 4ever to load the page and I wondered if some of these images might also be causing this ... and that is why I asked. I am sure you will continue to use them but I just threw the question out there.

peace

The IMG tags slow page loading more than the reposting of a thread. Especially all of the smilies that everyone is using. The popular ones are linked to all the time and that bogs down the plauder-smilies server which causes a delay in loading the pic. That is why the plauder server crashed because everyone that was using the smilies had like 5-10 of them in each post.

I knew it! I knew it! Didn't I say y'all don't know how to act? Just like little kids with a new toy.

Ain't that the truth! I'm guilty as charged, AKAtude. <---- Man, it's just not the same. *sigh* Oh, well...
