im on a 56k modem and the entire site is taking longer each day to load, including the forums http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
my poor pentium 2 and modem cant handle it anymore!
could the site be somehow made more 56k friendly?

cheers

And people wonder why the signature rules are so strict.

There are some posts, like the 'Official' PSOW pic post that are a 56k'ers death sentence, but the site overall is low-bandwidth friendly. If anything it's slowing down because of the influx in visitors to the site.

Could also be the connection as well. I use AOL and that gives a terrible connection here.

Suggestion that can help out speed is to turn off the sigs in your profile.
