Thumbnails

I would like a way I can have every image load as a thumbnail instead of loading fullsize images.

This is destroying folks bandwidth caps guaranteed. Luckily I don't have that problem, just the issue of slow ass internet.

I will provide an example of a thread that takes me over 5 minutes to load.

I understand I am in the minority most likely with this issue, that's why I would like an option I can access in my profile that would force all images to thumbnails.

Generally if a thread has more then 2-3 full size images per page I stay out of it. It takes too long to load and I can't read a damn thing with the page jumping around like crazy.

Pictures also don't load in order which is super annoying and inefficient. If they loaded in order it wouldn't be nearly as bad, and would actually load faster then trying to download 10 images at the same time.

Have a nice day all.

I understand and agree completely. We've been aware of this for years now, and have tried several times to limit members ability to post large images, but the members figure out the way to circumvent our limits. The thumbnail size is the default, but ultimately it's the posting member who wants it to be larger.

Head has a point ...(L0L) I like to advise members on plant issues some of the pics are huge ...perhaps a warning that a post has consumed more than 5Mb-10Mb(?) of image, b4 we click on a post, so we may decide to assist this member AND avoid or accept wasting 5Mb- 10MB(?) of our bandwith first ..? via a small icon in the heading?
