I apologise for my large signiture etc.

Speak to Helz if you want, she will suggest ways to help speed up the website using a different browser instead of IE which will easily allow you to control loading up of images, cache(ing) much more easily etc.

I agree though, it must be a struggle for the significant minority who either haven't got BB in their area/can't afford it

Hiya Liam
As Paul has suggested you could try using Opera browser ( http://www.opera.com ) which has the option to cache (store) pictures and pages. So instead of having to load picures every time a page loads I can load them once a week then they will be stored on my PC instead of loading from the server. Therefore only the text and layout has to be loaded (often the layout can be stored as well if it's done with CSS) and this speeds it up a lot. If I want to load images I can either do them individually or load a full page with one click.

Not to mention the improved cookie control, magic wand, improved pop-up control, skins, general customisation. D'ya want me to go on? I think what I'm trying to say is that a separate site isn't necessary

As for broadband take-up Paul, I think you'll find you're still the significant minority: in April only 37% of the population used Broadband as their main means of internet connection (and considering this includes work usage I'd say home connections are far lower).

if you want to stick to IE you could just go into tools,internet options, advanced and un tick show pictures, then no pictures come, if you then want a pic to show right click and choose show picture

only 37% with broadband, but proubaly lots of the others polled didn't want it or never even had a computer
i don't know i'm just mad

Please do not Email or PM me asking for support. Post on the forums instead. Your reply may help someone else. Thank you

Helz; significant minority "on this site" is what I was talking about, which I think is true in my experience.

I thought Ben was changing servers to overcome such problems???????????

Aaaahhhh Dave, but it's a lot easier to switch between them with a single click (or single keystroke) than faff about with menus . Plus you get the extra caching option which I don't think you get with IE. As in if you surfed FF on my browser you wouldn't even know most of thetime that I wasn't loading pictures.

Servers not the speed problem, its the fact a page can be about 100k.... 20seconds on 56k at your max speed... nothing i can do about it
