Internet usage and the forum...

[MichaelHenley]

I have noticed recently since my family signed up to broadband (on a 250MB plan) , that the forum uses a lot of bandwith. Is there any way of minimising this problem? (My mum and dad have banned me from going on the forum at home because of this, that's all.)

I'm no techie, but you've lost me on this one. Urmm it's a web page right? There's nothing on the hard drive as there would be with a computer game or software program. Or is there?

 

[kiwimac]

The individual pages shouldn't take up much bandwidth. Do you use the Albums a lot?

[MichaelHenley]

No- I don't. At one stage I was on here for about an hour, and I used up 10 MB. My Dad got really angry with me then. It's only a problem now because when we had dial-up, it was an unlimited plan.

Probably a combination of pictures and photos that people use in their siggys.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yeah, that's probably it.

Great avatar, evan! If that doesn't say "Proud American", I don't know what does. 8)

 

[evangilder]

Thanks NS, you kind of inspired me to find something new. I couldn't find a CAF logo that was small enough that still looked good, so I thought patriotic would work.

I'll readily admit the same Evan, great avatar ! thanks

That looks really neat Evan.
I can hear the Pride of the 48 striking up The Star Spangled Banner as I type

 

[Nonskimmer]

Looks like I've started a trend.
All with the old RCAF roundel! 8)

No, I started it the Regia Aeronautica sword that I recently got rid of

 

[trackend]

Well i'm just following your slip stream guys

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

very nice.............

 

[evangilder]

That's a nie one you have as well, trackend. I always liked the pic I use in my avatar, it was my wallpaper on my laptop for awhile. I wasn't sure how it would shrink, but it worked out okay.

 

[cheddar cheese]

very nice.............

You would say that

What's wrong with the ol' Jack, CC?

 

[csrruss]

for lower bandwidth version try www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/archive
the pictures and such are what eats bandwidth, and all the requests by users for forum pages takes a lot of bandwidth also

What's wrong with the ol' Jack, CC?

I dont like it...it screams patriotism, and im not patriotic.

I got punched at school today for saying I was anti-Cornwall

 

[plan_D]

Did you punch back?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

as a general rule you don't punch this guy back, if it's the one i'm thinking of...............
