How about this, the forums are moving to a bigger and better server at the end of the month, so why bother changing anything :-P

Thats just my suggestion and I think it should be considered. And its not like most of the board has 1000+ posts there is <40 with 1000+ posts.

This same situation was discussed for ELite members and the answer was still no because it will not help decrease the load, just increase it further. The whole point of the message is to limit the forum to a minimal amount of people so the server can return to normal operations.

err...
[list=1][*]the problem is not bandwidth, it's server load.
[*]images are cached once per person, they are not loaded anymore once the person has visited this site.
[*]the images that are used here would be either much bigger or much uglier in jpg. Only those who really are better in size are saved in that format, which is only suitable for big photos with not much detail, not for web graphics like the ones here.[/list]

New server woot woot :bow:

<suggestion>
As a temporary fix why not allow limit the amount of simultaneous connections so that you can only view one thread at a time and when that thread has finished loading you can open the next and so on
