I really dont see some of the argument here. Pictures do not slow the board down. Not for the text that you are reading anyway! When you click on a link, it downloads the html, and displays the text, then it downloads the pictures from where the html tells it to. If your really that bothered, then dont post! This board has been going for years, and you come on here and want to change it for yourself???? Whats that all about. This board is about being part of a comunity, and if you cant settle in and be part of that, then there is really no point in you being here.

No offence intended mate, but i think you need to think before you post.

ps. On the fact of setting the board up so you can turn off signitures if you want - If you have ever set up your own board, then you will no how hard, and how long it can take to implement these sorts of things. Not to mention the effects it can have on the board in the long run. I know mark os a very busy man, and with the lack of sinner being around, i dowt there is anyone to do this anyway. So basically you either like it, or lump it.
