Thank you for the advice. I changed my client settings.
Nonetheless it's also a website-thing. It should be changed.
My friend who's a programmer said he cringed when he saw this lol.So I'm guessing there are options/ways to change this.
Other forum sites don't preload every image on the board before you even visit a topic, let's be honest.If your client settings are set to pre-fetch stuff from our website, that's the client's fault, not the web server's.
Your programmer friend should probably learn about Android and iOS settings. He probably also gets paid to do his programming. We're doing this shit for free.
No, no. I'm not critizing you but the preload thing happens on the computer too. My original screenshot was taken on a Desktop PC using Google Chrome.
If you go to efu's forums for example they dont offer a preload of every image in every topic.
Most forums don't. But I understand this website is el-cheapo. But it'd be good if preloading wasn't offerred at all before you reach the topic.
This is a problem because imagine a year into the future, there'll be 10x more screenshots posted in topics than now. And they'd all be preloaded once you visit "Main Forums". I don't think you want that.
I'm only suggesting/pointing this out. I don't have the solution. There's not meant to give offense to anyone's skills or whatever.
