Stop Copying Pictures Over & Over.

[zapjb]

This is what I mean. http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showt...=0&#entry976969 (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=109167&st=0&#entry976969)

There is no reason to copy the pictures that are already in the thread. And to boot multiple times. Have some thought to us on 56k. :angry:

[Adster]

I was on 56k not so long ago for a very long time and I will say I know how you feel but their is no rule against it

That's why there is a 'Image Resize' setting in place.

Try placing your hand in your pockets and paying a little extra for broadband. It can&#39;t be that more expensive where you live <_<

The Image Resize makes the image appear smaller in the thread, but the filesize is still the same.

Also, that last sentence wasn&#39;t appreciated. I&#39;m on 56k, and some people can&#39;t afford broadband, is that a problem?

whats ther point of image resize then
never did like that

I don&#39;t really understand what you are talking about. Do you mean when a member quotes a picture? Because I thought it would just load it again from your cache no?

umm no offense not everybody CAN just get dsl

for instance living in Australia only 25% of peopel can get it here for insane prices ;)

and 64% of teh US still are on dial up 74% in the UK

statistics say

we don&#39;t all live in America where we can just ring up hey give me a #mb connection for &#036;30 and have it turned on tomorrow

I&#39;m paying &#036;60 with a 16 gig cap a month just for 256/64 so life isn&#39;t just that easy in every place you live

Once your browser has downloaded the picture, even if they are quoted 5000 times it won&#39;t take any longer to load. They go into your temporary internet files for later viewing. If they don&#39;t its you thats made that configuration.

[Cyril]

Or, the easy solution would be to go in to your board settings and say NO to viewing images etc.

Question: Would you want to hang around for 10 minutes waiting for those pics to download for the first time?

@ Cyril: - Disabling images means 56K users will miss out on a sizeable chunk of forum content.
Program and game screenshots for previews and troubleshooting, album covers, funny pics in the Lounge... all gone.
That&#39;s hardly fair, is it?

[muchspl2]

no
he can&#39;t have both
either stop bitching or turn off pic&#39;s
simple

Yes, and before that we didn&#39;t have a connection at all, and before that we only had green screens, and before that they used punched card and tickertape..

what&#39;s your point? :blink:

[Cyril]

Just a suggestion - chill out.
I was on 56k not that long ago. had pictures off, and when there were screen shots and stuff I wanted to see then would enable it.

exactly.... I was a 56 K user earlier.. but i didnt surf much minding the telephone bills.... but since last 3 years.. i m a cablenet user... so i Surf a lot n have complete freedom...

So acc to me, 56 K &#39;ers should only check emails and stuff... so that u don&#39;t waste ur money downloadin pios n movies.

It sucks being a 56ker, but when you are a 56ker, you learn to have patience......

I don&#39;t agree, some people post large pictures, for no other reason than, they are too lazy to resize them. Why should people on dial-up suffer because of them?

That equation can also work the other way around too, such as, Why should people on high speed internet suffer because of 56k users? ;)

[zapjb]

You are too reasonable callum. I ascribe worse motives. ;)

[thewizeard]

Maybe we should have a forum especially for 56k&#39;ers...? :)

We here in New Zealand are being ripped off by Telecom who charge a lot more for broadband and put a low cap on it as well, so the broadband takeup in NZ is very low - only about 10%.

I too find it a bit frustrating to wait for pages to load when you are in a hurry to post a reply, it sometimes puts you off reading threads.

Could not they make it an otpion to view the pics ?

download mozilla firefox 0.8, then get some extensions such as &#39;adblock&#39;. you can basically delete any image on a page from ever showing up ever again.

There&#39;s nothing wrong with quoting an image, I thought that once you had the image in your cache you didn&#39;t download it again if you saw it again so it wouldn&#39;t make a difference if it was quoted or not so there is no arguement... :lol:



I could be wrong tho :P
