I don't know about Netscape and other browsers,
but it is possible to disable the downloading
of graphics to your Windows PC by going
to view options and then somewhere in there,
depending on your version, you can check a
box or something.

Not everyone's got fast connections and this
might help them out a little.

I think it might be easier for people if the images were a little more reasonable.

Just an opinion, but the fact is it's hard to say when you're gonna get trapped by an image-laden thread, and I think people lose a lot of eyeballs from people going - "Crap - another GIANT pile of images of people's CATS!?!?!".

When I see that coming, I head for the door, and whatever is on that thread that might have value goes out the window, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who does that.......

Yeah, you can click that stuff off.

Go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced
there should be a checkbox with "Automatically load images"

I think this does the trick.. although i'm not sure as I haven't used any of those features since I owned my 1200 baud GVC

Penis, it's so good to see you again. It's

the right time.

alright, alright, it's getting old, i know,
but it really is good to see you.
