Why is this forum so Amiga unfriendly

Hi

Sorry... Again. I don't agree. The wait was to do with dialup generally and over ambition with web content. Newsgroups are great for messenging. It doesn`t have to be complicated or graphics intensive. Most of the stuff on the pages is just not necessary... like all those stupid symbols under each post and the avatars, or what ever you call them. Just add up the bytes of info for each graphic. Even worse is when folk put all their animated crap on the posts. Honestly. Words are so easy... Specially when your up against it and trying to solve a problem. The forum has become a chat venue ... What I need at times is a helping-hand.

PS I may enjoy my retro experience and its not cus I like living in the past. Its cus it truly is more fun. Modern computing is what generates this interactive chat world online which isn`t really what I muck around with computers for.
Anyway, I seriously have to get back to my Amigas... Too much chat. Bye.

Sorry Jack but if you can't cope with the fact that online communication is more than 2400,8,n,1 it isn't anyone's fault but your own.  Grow up.

Miami & Ibrowse 2.3 works great on my A4000/040, 2+16MB ram, Voodoo 3000 + PCI netcard. Amiga.org and a few other sites are running just perfectly here :-)

With all the replies like this, I'd say it was a PEBCAC.

I think Scuzz has been quite clear that the problem is not with the site per se, but with the site only when using a slower service (ie dialup) and/or lower end machines. It's a valid point, especially - as Scuzz points out - for users with low end machines/connections, which is perhaps not such a small percentage of the demographic of the users of this website, compared to generic (eg PC/Mac user) websites.
Perhaps there _should_ be an option to minimise content on the website, eg text only mode.

Oh my God - a website loads slower on dialup than on broadband!

Someone get Tim Berners-Lee on the Hotline, quick!
