I know lots of people have problems with slow internet connections.

If you are one of these unfortunate people, you can get faster-loading pages by doing any of the following:

• Most Drastic: Choose the "SS lite" skin (bottom left of every page). This removes all graphics and colors from the design and gives you a plain, black & white + links, PDA-friendly version.
• Remove Siggies and Avatars: In your "User CP" (User Control Panel - link on top left of each forum page), edit your settings to not show avatars or signatures. (Default for newer members is now set not to show siggies.)

Please do your best to contribute to fast pages by making sure you only use Avatars and images (in your siggie) that are minimal in Kb. Follow the rules and we'll all be fine!

Thanks!
