I thought the sign was to indicate those people who know to ignore me - generally the poor sods who have met me in real life.

Hmmm, secret club indeed...

Cheers for uber-prompt response.

They're your friends/buddies.

On the currently active users bit on the bottom of the front page some peoples names have a small + after them.

Why is this? Secret club?

Anyone else finding the static file server a bit slow? I'm finding avatars will take a while to load at times. Maybe it's just me...

I've had that once, for about an hour, one afternoon so far. Hasn't bothered me much yet.

it's cos your avatar is so fat.

It's just you.

VB, I noticed a couple of times, if I edit a post instead of saying "Save" it says "Vote Now" on the save button, It works fine though.

I'm on Safari 4 beta OSX Leopard.

I used the Firefox magnify functionality to view the images on the page in reduced size, and then magnified them again to read what little text there was.

I rather prefer the chimp technique, with manageable image sizes, in inflammatory threads, but I guess it wouldn't have been quite appropriate here.

Pages can still be large. It just helps prevent them from being unusable.

Nah VB.. we should leave all the massive bandwidth requirements in place thereby encouraging users to adopt faster connections or petition telecoms to supply faster wireless. :)

For absolutely ages I've been saying how you should be considerate to other forumengers and not post images that were needlessly too large because there are poor fuckers out there who don't have broadband, or are accessing via a phone or something, and it's just not fun to have a few MB to download just to view a page.

And I know today was exceptional with the thread hijacks, etc... but visiting one of the threads ( http://www.londonfgss.com/thread18873-5.html ) resulted in about 10MB of downloads.

10MB! For one freaking web page that only 41KB on it's own.

That's:
[code]

41KB of page

10,240KB of images
[/code]

Which frankly is too much.

So images are now being replaced with links to the images whenever the image is unfeasibly large.

Hopefully this will keep the forum usable when things get silly.

And it is a shame that thread was derailed... Amy should be supported, and not have her thread 'jacked.

Just testing something - when editing your post the save/cancel etc buttons sometimes have the wrong text on them.

Edit 1: "Vote Now" "Go Advanced" "Delete" and "Cancel"
Edit 2: buttons have correct text.
Edit 3: still have correct text - though sometimes I also see "Vote" instead of "X" in lightboxed images.

trying new post - nah correct buttons again.

In Google Chrome by the way.

Yeah but you're odd.

Down with view counts!

VB, why not remove the view counting altogether?

Bump ;)

I quite like view counts on some forums (gentoo forums). I get to see how many people don't know the answer to my problems, while at least seeing that people are bothering to check out my questions.

Ask what? I is has forgets.

You need to ask again tomorrow.

I'm a cynical guy. So, what's the answer?

Keep asking, hippy. It'll be good for your post count.
