I just switched to using Basic Mode (instead of Enchanced Mode) last night, so I dont have to spend time loading all the extra graphics... It actually is quite a bit faster... Just wondering if anyone else view the forums this way?

BTW, I am on cable, not dial-up... but it can NEVER be too fast... :)

Nah, even on dial-up it doesn't make that big of a difference.

The thing to keep in mind is the set of images the forums use is very limited. They get cached after a few page views, & then you don't have to load them every time.

Nope, not even at home on dial-up. I tried it for about 10 minutes and didn't notice a difference so I switched back.

At work it makes 0% difference. :D

Me too. When I surf at work, I like to be as stealthy as possible. ;)
