nellie2 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Some of our members have rather snazzy but LARGE signatures... while that is ok for most, if you are on dial up it can be a big pain because it can take an age for the whole page to download.However help is at hand, you can disable signatures.Go to My Controls, then under Options on the left hand side you will see a link for Board Settings, there you can disable signatures, smileys and avatars making the pages a lot quicker to load.

Tony Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Even with broard band the big sigs are a pain in the backside, you have to scroll the page for miles just to read a few posts.Just my 2p's worth.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted March 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I can't say I disagree Tony.......... but at least you can disable them if you don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Another thing some members may not know. If you don't want the avatars or siggies jumping about click the stop button on the IE tool bar after the page has loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juby Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hi,I noticed that the Nellie2s daffodil is only 2k.But yours Sparks is 26k, does it really need to be?Juby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hi juby. That will be because the signature contains far more detail and is also animated. Is it affecting your page loading speed? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juby Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 No! no way, it was just out of interest.Incidentally I also noticed that your avator (also animated) is only 5K and mine is a massive 28K. And it is not.Must do something about that! I thought that it was automatic.CheersJuby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Although mine is moving it's only a gif. very small size. Yours is a photo. [jpg] and uses up a bit more space. No problem with yours though.Some of the members who are on dial-up may at times find the pages slow to load because of big signatures etc. but they can turn these off from their controls and it will speed up the page loading. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 >Djohn, only just noticed you're only on 483 posts. surely you've been around longer than that implies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi Doug. Yep been here for quite a while. I think my date under the avatar is correct, just that I don't post as often as I should. Always here for a read though and some of the threads have cheered me up many times on a lonely night.By lonely night I mean through the small hours when I can't sleep. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Same problem here at times. Perhaps my memory recalls your posts in PCA. Mind, don't go there much these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 don't go there much these days.Same with me - there's just too many repetitive questions there.Much better at the other PCA - Answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Can't check at the moment Doug [The sites down] but have logged in 4026 times over the past years made something like 12000-15000 post and even though they have reset the board to register posting from 2003 only, I still have over 100 pages of "My postings" They can't shut me up over there. :lol: Lots of waffle though rather than tech. help :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
