your kidding right? this is WAY WAY faster to download than the old one.

if its really slow the odds are your browser cache need fixing.

I would believe that your computer is somewhat messed up. How can it hog your bandwidth if it is taking less time to download?

... Or is it another excuse to catch attention. If so, you've caught me :'(

303831 2004-12-16 05:58:00 You can tell your browser not to load images.

Opera with images off works just fine, as it did on the old Forum

Probably in more areas than the "I'm leaving" department, too.

It's called attention whoring, it's quite well documented at www.urbandictionary.com

303836 2004-12-16 07:06:00 Download the Adblock Extension. (http://adblock.mozdev.org/) Lets you block those annoying flash ads too, it's great. I've also used it to block certain "shock" images. Zygar (29)
303837 2004-12-16 07:21:00 It is WAAAAY faster for me, and I know that faster = less B/W used.

Really, really quick now, loving it.

Don't go Stu, such a stupid reason!
