I have a major complaint about the theme for the Null forum

Post by Calavera »

It is VERY unfriendly to 56k connections. The gifs are insanely large!

jgr.gif 935kb

soniccdj.gif 314kb

tomdance.gif 2.5MB!!!!

dc-zoom.gif 2MB!!!!

That is nearly 6MB just for gifs!

If I was able to connect at a full 56kbps it would take almost 15 minutes to load those gifs! But I usually connect at 26.4kbps or 28.8kbps which means it takes OVER A HALF AN HOUR JUST TO LOAD NULL!

Maybe some of you are lucky enough to have a 128 or maybe even 256kbps ISDN connection but some of us can only get 56k dial-up. I visit Null about 4 times per day. Once in the morning,afternoon,evening and then once more before bed. I am spending 2 hours of my day waiting for gifs to load!

*edit Some of you have mentioned something called Netzero High-Speed Dial-up which can prevent gifs from loading. I'll have to look into that.
