OK FOLKS LISTEN UP!!

.

It seems that some Freepers that are on dialup are having a bit of trouble loading up the pictures on the Freepathon Thread and since it is taking so long, they end up moving along and not coming to the thread

Maybe we can make the pictures smaller or limit the number of picture between each 50 posts??

If anyone has any suggestions to help those on dialup .. please post them because I am too brain dead to think anymore today .. LOL


And now I'm off to la al land

Sweet Dreams Y'all

Goodnight, Mo1.

On the picures, if the posters would be sure to include "width=xxx" and "height=xxx" parameters within their "img src" html statements, the threads will load much faster. The browsers will reserve space and draw a box for the photo and then continue displaying the rest of the thread while the photo fills the box.

How to disable graphics images so a page loads more quickly
- dialup users THIS WILL HELP!

First, if you use Internet Explorer, go to the menu bar (should be the top of the browser). Click on "View". From its sub-menu, choose "Options".

From the Options dialog box, select the "General" folder tab at the top of the box. In the multimedia section you can select whether or not Internet Explorer loads an image, sound file, or movie. If you want a type of file to be automatically loaded, place a check mark in the appropriate box. If you want the images disabled, click to remove the check. Now whenever Internet Explorer loads a document that has images, a small icon will appear where each image is located on the page. If you wish to view the image at that location, right-click on the image area and then select "View Image" from the menu.

No more slow loads if you do this!

G'night dear Mo. ....and THANK YOU for all you've done today.

Netscape users:

Just like above, but click on EDIT, then choose the Preferences sub-menu.

Depending on which Netscape you have, there may be one or two more steps.

If you see an option called "Automatically load images and other data types", uncheck it.

Otherwise, click on the "Images" category, then check the "Do Not Load Any Images" option.

Then click OK.

Jim,I just wanted to thank you again for your service to this country, and for FR. What a truely brilliant idea!

[backhoe]

This is from the USA Ping List- if you want off this list, you must let me know ( and politeness counts in my book as to the speed with which you are removed ) and mention the name of the list- I can't locate you without a reference.

If you can't contribute- and we all have been there, we all have to put family first- please flag a few names you know, and bump this post.

Come on, we can't let Streisand and her ilk win!

Thanks, but I'd like to be removed from the USA Ping List. Nothing personal, it's just that I'm on too many ping lists now, and I can't visit every thread. Oh, I contributed already.

George W. Bush is the greatest! Down with bolshevism! Defeat the socialistic dems! Win back the Senate! God bless America!

it's just that I'm on too many ping lists now, and I can't visit every thread. Oh, I contributed already.

I well understand- I just kind of gave up asking to be removed from various lists- I'll dig out that floppy now & take you off... OK, you are gone...

[Unknown Freeper]

Hi, Backhoe, please remove me from the USA ping list. Thank you. Regards,

[backhoe]

Sure thing- and I thank you for your courteous reply!
