I am on dialup sometimes, and cable will sure spoil you.  The avatars and signatures don't slow it down much, because they only have to download once, and your browser is smart enough to re-use the same file, instead of downloading each time it appears.  Some of your avatars - I could do without.  Glad you aren't Marilyn anymore...

Ya...I logged in on dialup from the beach.....not tooooo happy with myself.  Actually wasn't that bad, but I wish there was a way to post the sig just once per post...and I have been looking for that option on the SMF boards....

As you can tell by my avatars and signatures, I am a blatant showoff.  However I realize some of the members here don't have broadband available to them and the images that some of us use may cause the forum to load slower than desired.  To speed things up, go to PROFILE (between SEARCH and MEMBER MAP in toolbar), click on LOOK AND LAYOUT PREFERENCES, then click the checkboxes for DON'T SHOW OTHER'S AVATARS and DON'T SHOW OTHER'S SIGNATURES. Hope this helps!

Thanks for letting others know BTS...after my week without DSL you were really starting to hack me off  ;D but I didn't think about posting the instructions for everyone...I get "broadband lock" myself sometimes & forget there's still a lot of poor souls on dial-up.
