Disable Pictures/Videos

Jusey1 · Apr 11, 2011 7:45 PM

Kinda an idea for the site, if it isn't possible to do this atm.

Basicly, for users, like myself, who has dial-up should be allow to disable pictures and videos cause they lagged our computers a lot, and sometime crash us. I don't care about JPEG pictures cause they are small enough but for other pictures and videos, maybe just turn them into links instead of showing them on the thread?

i've often wondered why people just HAVE to post videos directly, instead of just putting a link.

images, it depends. sometimes it's more relevant to the discussion to actually have it posted.

but what it comes down to, i think, is people just changing their ways a little bit. hopefully nobody will have to take administrative action over something like this.

There was a few times where I almost crashed and one time when my PC froze and I had to restart it so ya.. I think this option will be helpful.

You're definitely in the minority not being able to load videos or even jpeg images. You're not going to be able to visit many modern websites at all with a connection like that.

Even if it were possible to implement something like this with this forum's software (I'm not sure if it is), honestly, nothing ever really gets done around here in the adding new features department since the only one who can make those changes is the admin. The best suggestion I could give you would be to block images and flash from this website on whatever browser you have, because the forum itself is probably not going to make this change just for one person.

only one person who has complained.

What's the internet without pictures and videos?

That's like a Spyro game without Spyro in it.

Most people with that bad of a connection probably aren't on the internet much at all, much less think they'll be able to post regularly on a forum without problems. This site really isn't that bad with flash and huge images and stuff everywhere. You're the first person I've heard of who has problems with loading JPEG images.

I use to have a Dial Up connection and it was a royal pain when it came to images and such yes, but I'm not sure if the admin has any software to deal with that kind of situation, so I just had to get along with what I had and disable images and such. Sorry that it's such an annoyance to you but hey, at least you can get online.
