what can you see

[armand.kay]

I've never had this issue

[Vicky.]

GIFS can be funny or relevant. The majority of them aren't though and the GIF spam this series is ****ing ridiculous tbh. Most add nothing at all to the conversation except baiting and slowing down the thread

I could never turn them off though because I am too nosey

[Crimson Dynamo]

just ban all gif sigs I say

[Shaun]

To be fair they are annoying if you're browsing the forum on mobile data.

[caprimint]

They're annoying if they're overused (which is what usually happens), but I'd never turn them off because I'm also too nosy

My internet runs slow anyway, but I'm pretty sure that's down to the service provider and the fact so many people are using it for various things.

Or the fact you live in the middle of nowhere

I don't live in the middle of nowhere, am right next to a big city yet our council are crap and won't give permission for any company to lay fibre. As such, best speed we can get here is ****ing 2-3mb

My husband downloads a lot, takes maybe a minute to download a 5 min youtube song with video. Its not too bad but I have never actually had anything to compare it with

Of course , I do have a brain , lol , I cant see mine either but worth it not to have to trawl through the dross sometimes posted on here, as I said it's ok when the signature gifs are on it's the spamming of them all that my laptop doesn't like.

Not anymore

Not to be cheeky or anything but TiBB loads really quickly on my phone, even if the page has a lot of gifs. So if your laptop/computer can't handle a few gifs then maybe it's time to upgrade.

I don't want or need to upgrade ,it handles normal stuff fine,but on Tibb when loads are posted at once,it slows down,I don't use my phone for Tibb, gifs aren't that important to me so sensible thing was to switch them off.

[T*]

I live in the middle of nowhere and get like 9mb internet and it runs fine :s

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

gifs are a fundamental part of the tibb experience

[Vicky.]

Seems its a littler faster today but still crap

And this is the best we can get in our area fullstop. Its not a case of me being stingy, we actually cannot get fibre or anything

[caprimint]

Does not seem this good

[reece(:]

[Tom4784]

[Marsh.]

Get a laptop that was made after 1998. That'll help loads.

[Vicky.]

Oh **** off all of you with your decent speed internets and dezzy with your ****ing lightening

[smudgie]

Mine is normally ok..apart from when the show is actually on, then this slows down something chronic.

Thats an issue with the actual forum not your net.

When we do IP checks it kills the forum too. if we do a 2 depth IP check it takes the forum offline for like 10 minutes and then usually doesn't even return any results I don't really do IP checks now, or wait til really late on to do them. Not sure why it kills the forum the way it does...

Yes, the price of being a popular forum I guess.
