    Photos affecting your surfing b/c you have dial-up? Here's a solution.

    Big pictures really can slow down those who have dial-up - I remember. One wonderful option we have if you use dial-up or just don't want to see photos is to go towards the top of the page and click on "User CP".

    Once you've clicked that click on "Edit Options" on the left hand side of the page that comes up.

    On the next page go way down and in the box for "Thread Display Options" you will see a box where you can select to NOT see attached pictures, people's signature lines or even avatars (user pictures by their names).

    This would greatly increase the speed for anyone who uses dial-up.

    Diagnosed August 2001

    Current IC meds: Elmiron (since 2001), Levaquin (one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs), Effexor (for depression & anxiety)

    Past IC meds: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), Detrol LA, Lexapro (for depression & anxiety, but also helped my IC) (They all helped, but I was able to discontinue them.)

    I've been virtually symptom free and able to eat & drink whatever I'd like for about 8 years now.

      I hate Dial up, but where I live at that is all I can get. They dont offer High Speed Internet out here. Then a couple weeks ago hubby and I bought a lap top, so I was going to go buy the thing to use so we would not have to plug the phone cord in. Nope cant use because we dont have high speed. This is a down side to living in the woods lol
      God grant me the serinity to withstand the days ahead!!!

        Thanks, tiggergal! LOL I knew some other boards I've belonged to have that sort of option so I decided to poke around a bit here.

        Patricia - It's funny, when you haven't had dial-up in awhile you forget how very slow photos can make a page load. I hope this helps.
