"1) Two Ping Lists: One for Tursday (TBT) and Saturday(Week in Review) and one for the other days which will NOT be graphic intense.
3) on Thurs and Sat Ray posts his large file only to himself and when he posts the Ping, has a Link to the prior post with the graphics. Clickable for those who want them. "
The graphics are great, The problem is how they're posted. Too many in one post by one poster and when they turn out to be on a ping post, it causes havoc in a poster's comment page. Two graphics per post works well for a page to load.
To tell posters to turn off graphics when they read a graphic intensive thread is ridiculous when the obvious solution to a faster load time for us slow pokes is to post 2 graphics per post. Ray can post his 100 pics but do it in 50 posts. Is that too difficult?
Eight years ago Obama promised broadband for everyone. He didn't keep his promise. Some of us are still on dial up because it's the only option we have.
I concur
Good point and ideas
