Guest gogoblender Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hey guys we're trying to run a test here on how fast this forum reads for dialup users. While I"m trying to dust off my dialup access here I was wondering if anyone here has dialup and could check out our site and report back to us. We just want a comparison between the viewing experience on broad band v.s. dialup. Thanks gogo Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I was viewing the Board on Dial-up (40K) over the weekend and it was passable. Some of the graphics took a bit to load, but nothing worse than I expect from dial-up in the first place. Link to comment
Guest gogoblender Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 ahh, interesting. Ike, can you please tell us which graphics? WAs it members sigs? Or the forum itself? Background, darkmatters logo or something like that? Thanks! gogo p.s. by passable, do you mean that somone with dialup won't get too piffed off with coming to visit darkmatters? We've run polls here and as we understand it, everyone here accessing this site is using broadband. Stilll...it's good to know how fast our access is to those that don't have it. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I recall the background and a couple of the starting-page images (like the D.a.r.k. logo) taking a while, but if you are used to dialin' up, you are used to pages taking a while to load. Given the choice, I would use broadband but the site was useable on dial-up. Link to comment

Guest gogoblender Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Guys thank you so much for the feedback on this. I"m currently having a ...terse...discussion on another forum I post on and we're all talking about sigs in forums and whether or not they have a place. It kinda got me thinkin about how fast our forum reads. Ike, Anestty, thanks so much for the input. And anestty...we are standing by fer the testing! gogo Link to comment
