I've recently migrated across to vB 3.6.
I've had a comment about the rendered file size of the forum pages now. I still have some users on dial-up.
Looking at one or two pages when you include all the files that get downloaded you're looking in excess of 400KB although I appreciate the regular includes will get cached.
What I'm wondering is what options do I have to keep these users happy.
Is there a text only option that I can enable for these people?
Can't see any options as standard.

Enable option to use external css, and reduce number of tables in code by replacing them with divs where it can be replaced, or search for some light style that doesn't use loads of useless tables.

Yep I'd sussed that much out but I'm looking for a mod that does this or a recommendation on a light style.
I can't be the only one that's wondered about a solution to this.

If I remember correctly I used to use this style here:

Basically it's a stripped down version of the standard style. It's definately the least bandwidth intensive of any style :lol:

Great thanks. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for.
