Category: My $.02 worth, just a suggestion or two. Not a major crisis...
Trim the graphics on the pages a bit to speed load time for the dial-up users and have the webdude change link default target to new-window...
Have the webdude change the default for the messages lists within a topic to new-window instead of current-window and have it bring up just a list of the contained messages [ without ] all the header graphics that are presently on every single page.
You could still have the banner ad at top to pay the light bill but load time would be a LOT quicker without the all of the same graphics on every single page.
I right-click 'open-in-new-window' each forum anyway as I imagine a most others do, so I don't have to back arrow all the time to get back to the forum lists. It shouldn't take the webdude very long to change default action to target:new-window and to trim the grpahics from the just message list windows....
At the office I really enjoy browsing the site. At the office, I go out to the backbone on a bunch of T1's and load time is not an issue.
At home, it is via a dialup modem as most users on the Internet....
just suggestions....
