Hi,

An idea for a minor tweek...

When a thread page is displayed the text comes up instantly, then the pictures fill in, then almost last the smilies are drawn.

Would there be a way to form the generated page such that the smilies are downloaded/draw before all the other pictures?

Even with broadband it is still possible to read a bit before the page completly loads and the smilies do change the meaning and the tone of the message.

BTW - I hope people always remind you of how good a job you guys do.

Nick

The browser controls loading order of content, not the server.

Increase your browser cache to something at least in the double digits.

(I suggest this despite that the IT manager at my workplace demands that my browser cache be set to zero.)
