If anyone having page loading problems (esp. dialup users) would simply go to their preferences page and choose 20 or 50 messages per page under 'Thread Pagination', 98% of refresh complaints would vanish.

Wasn't tryin' to sound snippy w/you, btw.
Just a general fyi so NN doesn't feel the need to be sleep deprived for the next three months.

I did not take it as snippy at all. I thank you, and surely the bandwidth deprived thank you :)

Also, go to your browser and in tools>advanced (in IE) - scroll to "show pictures" and uncheck it.

Do not know about Firefox, since I have no problem in that area.

The "have pity on dial uppers" is tiresome.
