Good question, I can ask the magical mystery IT guy
Since the forum update, and more so recently, I'm spending AGES moving from one thread to the next.
That's some of the time. Sometimes it's as fast as ever... and other times (after a long wait) I get an ERROR PAGE.
All other sites on my PC are as fast as usual. Is this just still changeover problems, or should that be fixed by now?
I get an occasional 524 error page especially if I'm doing some intense stuff with multiple tabs open, but have not had any issues uploading.
I completely agree however I think the reason that many/most people use full size is because they are on a device and not a computer. Full size on a smartphone makes sense where the size of the image is greatly constrained and tapping a thumbnail is just an extra step.
I mainly view B&B on my smartphone. Full-size pic downloads are the same size (in MB) whether they are downloaded to a smartphone or a PC. Their physical viewing size is the determined by the device and its screen size.
There might be lateral solution to this problem. Both Opera and Opera Mini browsers - on Android at least - feature a Data Savings mode which greatly compresses webpage contents, quite effective on image-laden sites or for those looking to reduce their monthly data usage.
Yea seems to be happening on my phone too, maybe it's a uk thing? Lol

Not a U.K. thing I get it once in a while as well. Only on some threads.
Exactly. In fact I was having trouble trying to copy this quote. I had to clear the B&B site from my browser and reinstall it for things to work correctly. This is happening more and more often.
I do sympathize with your bandwidth limitations but personally I love seeing the images full size in front of me. It greatly contributes to my enjoyment of this site while it does the opposite for you. I wish there was a setting for members to view all images as thumbnails only. If I have to click on a thumbnail then it is much less likely that I will look at the image. I spend most of my time here using my desktop computer and I have a half a gig of broadband capacity. My PC is hardwired to the router as well. But even when I am using my phone or iPad I don't experience a problem with full images.
I think he was talking about the time outs, not ads.
This one is not full page which happens about 50% of the time.
