Has anyone else run into the problem of it taking a long time for JA threads to load? This has been going on for over a month now. The forums load quickly, but click on a thread and I could go get a cup of coffee in the time it takes to load.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I have a blazing fast fiber connection--it's not on my end.

Yes, it does it to me, too. Honestly, this all started when I got the smileys working again. It started out actually crashing my browser every time I went to the reply screen. I've taken all the steps I can to get it minimized... but I'm afraid we're stuck with it if we want our smileys. The only other suggestion I can think of to lessen the load time, would be to impose limits on signature graphics. But I'm not actually positive that it would work. Here's a way to possible test that theory. In your profile you can set your preferences to not show peoples sigs and avs. Give that a try, and see if it improves things for you.

No, I'm a coffee addict, a minesweeper addict and I can get heaps done in the 5 mins each page takes to load. CC, removing the Sigs and Avs, doesn't help either. It doesn't happen to me on any other proboard, but I'm getting used to it now. ~SS~

Most proboards don't have 200 smileys like we do. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's anything else. *sigh*

SS... Ah...and the smileys shall do us in. Thanks, CC. I dunno...maybe we should limit smilies. I know everyone loves them, but we have more than one of similar kinds. I wouldn't mind seeing some of them go to help with load times.

It happens to me too... I agree with DB... We have plenty of sleepy ones and stuff... And if people want one that you take off then they could go to your PB and use them from there... I guess

Or they could post them in their own photobucket for linking--rather than CC's. Boy, I'm all for dumping some smilies...I hardly ever can deal with the welcome forum anymore because it just takes too long.

On other forums they have a rule saying you can't have a siggy over a set number like it has to be like on DI no bigger than 200 pixels high and 600 pixels wide and you can't have two you can only have one. It makes loading a lot quicker and it doesn't take up a lot of space. I am sure if people where willing to part with one of there siggys and set to a size limit it would make things better. I will do it even through I will miss Ed.

I can make you another Ed sig if you like Star And it does the same to me. Sometimes, it'll crash, but then it'll recover. It might just be me however, because I'm super impatient. LOL. ~BM
