Hi Linda,
It seems to depend on the time of day and what's on the page. Some members are using the wysiwyg editor (I turned the darned thing off - hate it! LOL) and they're posting monster images that really slow everything down.
What people don't realize (and perhaps the programmers overlooked) is that when you don't put low enough restrictions on images that can be loaded, you're going to slow the whole system down, even if the page that's being visited by a member has NO images on it.
Even if the images are linked from another server it won't help - in fact that can slow things down even further, as every time the image loads, it has to be uploaded either from the main temporary internet files or worse, uploaded from some desperately slow server on the other side of the planet! IMO, it's a terrible waste of bandwidth and a definite negative for Adlandpro.
God bless,
Dave
I think some image restrictions are immediately necessary to speed things up.
