Pics loading Slow...
    #8056019 - 02/22/08 11:17 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Sorry to make a thread, since I think I already know the answer, but the pics are loading slow as shit for me. Is this a function of me having offsite resources switched to unrealproxy, or is something going on? Thaanks.

Sometimes the pics won't even load for me when I use the offsite feature.
I've since used normal loading, and it works just fine.

I use it more so that the links that I click don't get associated to the shroomery.

Admins, is there a way to fix it so it only does links offsite? Any real advantage to using it at all?

Yeah if UnrealProxy is having performance issues it will affect every image you load through them. The reason for the special attention to images is that they allow someone to log your IP without any special action on your part, ie. just viewing a thread they posted in. You can just not click a link to another site, but it's hard to prevent offsite images from loading without disabling images entirely. But since you mention it, it is kind of an arbitrary distinction and an option to pass regular links through a referral hider would be good too.

How does How to handle offsite resources (images and Flash) work exactly?
I selected the Block all images completely yet offsite images still show up.

grazie amico


but, just to be clear, you are saying someone can log my IP just by me looking at a pic in a thread here? If that's the case, methinks I'll just wait for the pics to load!

What happens if you examine the text from the Quote feature?

Damn, that was a bug. :tongue: Please let me know if it works now.

Yes that's correct. That wouldn't be able to correlate the IP with your username, but they'd know that someone viewed that picture from your IP address. Or someone could post a picture in your ratings, and then the IP that viewed it most often would probably be you. If that bothers you then using unrealproxy or blocking the images is the way to go.

Ythan - the offsite image block does work correctly now, thanks.

Any chance we can get an option in Preferences to change embedded images only to links?
Not the avatars or smileys, just the embedded images?
Thanks so much!

Yeah I'll add that to my to-do list, I assume just for browsing convenience and not as a security measure right?

So I can view some of those picture-instensive threads without having to wait for images to load.
Also great for people with slow connections.

Okay just an update that I added two new settings in display preferences to control picture display and offline links.





Please let me know if you encounter any problems with these options.

Wow - I am impressed!
Thank you so much! :congrats:

Both new options seem to work without a hitch.
