LOU! Do whatever you want with the colors and banner, but please don't use these rules.

I clicked the link too, much slower loading than this site (although not 5 minutes for me). Lots of ad's loading up on there.

I can click on any thread on SCS and it will load in a matter of seconds.

The thread you clicked has 73. Yes 73 full size images attached to it. It is a bunch of people showing off some nice mustang photos.

If you loaded 73 images plus all the other content in 5 minutes you have a smoking fast dialup connection. It took me 24 seconds for all the images to load.

Click this link and tell me how long it takes.

You sure did pick the wrong thread for a dialup test.

adding a pics area to everyones personal profile

vbulletin version 3.7.0 allows members to create a user gallery in their profile. It is a nice feature.

Corrla is so damn slow due to the advertisers. Too much stuff running.

This site could go for a color change but its nice the way it is. You could do a section with something like car of the month and have it featured when you open the site up.

Sites are not slow due to running ads, they are slow because the server is not optimized or powerful enough for the site traffic.

x2, but it doesn't hurt to optimize images for the net either. Plus when you put them both together, its a unbeatable combination.

It took longer than that for all the pictures to load. I have a stopwatch ready... 1:26:48 seconds lol
EDIT it takes 4 seconds here

Oh, I always thought it was because of the banners and such.

For the color scheme, I've always liked when forums have a black background and white type, sn95forums and svtperformance are this way and I always liked that scheme better, not sure why.

I would say for the banner, whenever we can get a huge group shot of a bunch of cars from the site, that would be pretty sweet.
