I would recommend using text only option for now if you have load problems.
The issue (In IE6/7 when using images in the dropdown menu) is to with the fact the user has to download 50+ mood images and has nothing to do with the javascript. Also this should only happen on the first page load, after which the mood images should be cached by the user browser.
With the latest version this is fixed, the images don't start loading until the page has loaded, was tested with another user who had a similar problem.
The other option (for further improvements) is to dynamicly load images in the dropdown menu e.g. detecting when the user is going down in the dropdown menu, which I might have a ago at doing sometime in the future.

I didn't take much notice to be fair because I never had a problem and just assumed it was on their end until I was changing another mod and opened IE to view the board as a normal user and WHOA was there a load!
So, after disabling every plugin I have one-by-one to try to find the culprit, all were the same until I turned off this mod and page load went back to normal.
So, long story short, is there any way we can get the .js file to work with IE better? Cacheing technique of some sort or a more user friendly version of JSmin?
Thanks and I look forward to re-enabling this plugin!
