Pictures on the Forum Are Loaded Slow

Hi,

Please do not post in bold, it is reserved for the moderation team.

Regarding your issue, for users with slow connection it is normal that your forum is slow to load as you have really a lot of heavy images.

I suggest also uploading all your images to the same image host, and try compressing them in .JPG with an image editor program.
The best solution IMO would be to try and delete a few from your index.

I'm so sorry for the bold thing...I dun know about that

I believe the main reasons are the slow connection however I don't think all the members have slow connection cuz I received the complain from almost every single member on the forum.

And most of the picture on my forums are .JPG and .PNG so I don't think the problem is caused by images type

Beside deleting from the index, do you have any other thoughts about other reasons beside this ?

Thanks so much for your help

tell those who are having problems to clear out their pc ,cache. Could be them.
I also agree with typo(who dares to disagree) that images can/will slow down a site. His suggestions are dead on.

yeah I did tell them to clean out their pc, cache but almost 100% people on there are having the problems. Besides, I also clean my pc, cache but I am having that problem too even I am the Admin. And I already reduced to the minimum amount of pictures. I wonder if there're any other reasons?

maybe your internet connection is slow.

I took a peek and although you're not going to like hearing this, I have to again agree with typo, being you have a tremendous amount of images displayed. That would be my first hunch as to your trouble. in addition, many of your forum images like the forum icons are 2x-3x larger than they should be on average.
Beautiful site, but Wow!!
