I have discovered Mozilla Firefox and a plugin it has called "Adblock". Using only the right click of my mouse, I have been able to block images originating from those websites. It sure makes my forum experience a little different.

Are the tickers a problem for those with dial-up? If so, I'll be happy to take mine off! I'm def. having fun with the tickers, but I'm on dsl, so loading isn't an issue. I never realized it might be a problem for some people. Let me know, and I'll be happy to make my posts "lose" the tickers!

Tickers and Blinkies may be just MORE images for some to download....however, I find it fun because it does tell me things about other people. I've gotten lot's of PMs over mine regarding the same interests, beliefs, etc.

Thank you! Never realised that this was an option. I hate to be a curmudgeon but I am in the old poo camp on this one and it is great that those that love 'em can have 'em and those that prefer not, not.

I never even realised this was an issue with dial up. It's good to know that the signatures can be turned off for those who don't want them. I personally think they're fun and useful for links you might not get to know about otherwise.
