Why are forum message listing so long?

Many times when I am looking at a thread of messages I see my browser is downloading some file 300K or longer and the text can't be much more than 5k (maybe 20 text messages). I'm using netscape communicator on a mac, but I don't think that should matter.
 
Sounds like you've turned off all caching in your browser, with all the pictures (icons and stuff) it might well get up to 300k per thread... Try turning on some caching in your browser (I assume nutscrape has that since I don't use it but Opera😉) I'm on a slow connection (64k) and I have no problems loading threads quite fast with opera 🙂

Just my $0.02 of course

Two-FaceMy stats:
RC5
OGR-25
Seti
Gamma Flux
 
mikeford i'd suggest reading the help, if you are on a slow connection (which you seem to be) you can go into customize and turn graphics off etc. You can also decrease the amount of messages shown per page.

This isn't a forum issue more of a bandwidth issue on your end. A message shows up in about a second and a half for me.
 
I have a 162K byte per second cable modem connection, and use a 5 MB cache with nutscraps communicator 4.72.

Tonight I switched to Exploder 5.0, so maybe that will make a difference.
