[Notice]: Slight Configuration Change :-)

[tonmo]

With so many of us getting onto broadband these days, I figured we should increase the amount of posts that appear on each topic page of the forums from 15 to 50. Just an FYI!

Broad-band or . . ?

Tony, does this mean that those stuck with dial-up will have to wait for 50 posts to slowly down-load before we can read the one at the bottom?
(This is a wonderful site, so you won't keep me away that easily!)

 

[tonmo]

Hmm, well, I guess the answer would have to be "yes"...

Without dial-up myself (and no QA team ) I really don't have insight into how long it might take to download 50 posts. I can reconsider the number though... Perhaps 25 would work better.

Anyone else with input on the matter before I take any action? Thanks Mike for your input!!

What's "dialup" ???? Oh yeah, I remember that!
"you've got mail...you've got mail....you've got mail" etc. also...
Yikes!

There are still some of us with dialup!
Be merciful!

be kind to us with 56k or any dial-up connec. for that matter, I'm still old skool I guess since I ain't got high tech stuff like cable or dsl, but you can maybe reconsider and make it 25 post's per page.
thanks, all of us with dial-up would greatly appreciate it.

Have you noticed a difference with the change Nancy?

 

[o.vulgaris]

well I sure have, takes some time to upload the messages lol.

 

[joel_ang]

I was counting just now, It takes about 10 seconds for a full page to load with a 56k which isn't really that bad.

 

[o.vulgaris]

10 full seconds vs. the previous 3-4 sec's. it took to upload lol.
