I did some analyzing of the speed that each element loads in the page, and these links cause major delays, often delaying the displaying of the page up to 2-5 seconds. This info is still in the user's profile though. __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

It's when people use flash loading apps that I get pissed ... Or flash banners. Basically anything that has to load before it'll display a website is annoying and moving banners are shite anyways. I always that banners should be simple and yet catchy so that the viewer who probably only skims over the banners briefly for maybe a split second remembers it in there head automatically without having to watch it for however long it takes for moving banners/ images to load each step. Whatever. eZ man ! But if you think it helps then ... it's your call esé ! __ 28-08-2008 14:30 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by TheSentinel Basically anything that has to load before it'll display a website is annoying and moving banners are shite anyways. Opera goes around since it can be set to load any page html code first and then starts loading up formatting, bitmaps, flash etc. it can make the page looking messy at first since it has to load formatting second to the actual table of the html but hey no optimization for pages made entirely in flash __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 28-08-2008 18:38 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Excellent, nobody was using them anyway __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 29-08-2008 07:38 drumnbass.be forum » Urban area » Drumnbass.be news » Removed links to ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, MSN from posts
