Those of us who are using slow connections (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) - here are some tips for better performance when browsing the 914 Club:
1. (it sounds obvious, but I'll start here) Close Outlook, Kazaa, your Instant Messenger, and other web-windows. If using AOL/Compuserve, close ALL your other windows. 2. Getting pop-up messages? Shut off your messenger service. In W2K and WXP: -Go to Administrative Tools -Click Services -Scroll down, and right-click "Messenger" -Click Stop 3. Go into your 914 Club Controls (link at top of page) -at the bottom, on the left, click "Board Settings" -Set the following to "NO" ----->View Members Signatures ----->View Members Avatars -Setting "View Images" to "No" will really speed you up, but you'll lose a lot of content. Your choice. 4. (While you're in there.) If you use cookies, take the time to click "YES" to "Hide Session ID in links". Choosing 'no' may cause problems when sharing links with people on the same proxy as you. 5. Consider changing the number of posts/topics you see on each page. The fewer posts/topics per page, the faster your page will load. This is good when you only are interested in the last message on a thread. Down-side? You'll have to go through more pages. Find a happy medium for you. 6. Click "Change My Account Options". Enjoy happy browsing! -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) on a crappy dial-up |

d914,
Welcome to the BBS! A new user can post pictures after posting 10 times. To answer your picture-reduction question, I like a shareware program called TNailer, by Smaller Animals Software. It allows you to reduce (to your specs) an entire batch of pictures at once. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
