VEF - for dial-up / mobile users - advice
Since FF57 upgrade many add-ons on FF are either dead , being worked on or have gone to other browsers like palemoon , sea monkey , waterfox etc
Having now connected to VEF with slow connections and mobile dongles with bandwidth limits there are certain unwanted things you will experience if you dont take precautions On VEF a post can contain up to 125 thumbs (correction - now 150 thumbs - kudos to G-Type) Dial-up 56k and downwards At these speeds you really are hamstrung and need to seriously consider blocking all the images , ads , avatars , signatures. and avoiding moving gifs Then you have a bit of control over - how long it takes pages to load - how much bandwidth your using up The first place that will help is your USER CP Located top left under the VEF lady After entering - on your left - you select options - under setting - half way down the page thread displays - visible post elements Then you untick what you wish to avoid - avatars , signatures & images (other option is to leave this checked and block images in your browser) Changing the number of pages from default 10 to 5 worthwhile or If your heading into general discussion / non-content areas up to 40 per page Mobile Dongle Unlike dial-up the speed here isnt the main issue but the bandwidth limita with todays large posts of up to 150 thumbs at 5-10k x 10-50 posts can eat away very quickly at your limit. To that end rather than turning off images altogether using add-ons in your browser which can be turned on and off easily is worth exploring as it allows threads to load quickly. Then you can select individual posts - right click the number of the post - open in a new tab - turn off the image blocker and refresh page - only downside to this is a lot of most image posts come with no text but if your after the videos in a thread this speeds the process up. Firefox has one called image block Image Block adds a toggle button that conditionally blocks/allows loading of images on webpages. The toggle button is added to the navigation toolbar (extreme right) by default. Blocking images results in faster browsing, especially helpful on handheld devices or slower connections like GSM/GPRS/EDGE dial-up etc https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...n/image-block/ Around the wider web add-ons like no script (firefox) & script safe (chrome) can give you even greater control on things that suck up bandwidth No script security suite https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...script/?src=ss ad-block plus another useful one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../adblock-plus/ Browser suggestions for setting up your browsers firefox , chrome , opera & IE http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...y-concerns.htm Gifs - moving in posts These can still be found on VEF - leftovers from a time when they were allowed anywhere Image block in firefox blocks these for me sometimes - other times its nothing less than unticking images on vef How to stop animated GIFs in Chrome , Firefox(pre-FF57) & IE http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...76&postcount=6 Editing posts You need to isolate the post before the edit - right clicking the post number and open in new tab otherwise when you save the edit the other 4,9,19 or 39 posts per page will load in full.
