Hi @RushesToo

There is some basic compression of all images that are uploaded to the forum already. We also host all images on amazon simple storage engine, backed by their content delivery networks. This means you should always get the images really quickly as the image will come from servers which are close to where you live.

Do you have some example threads/images which are still loading slowly for you?

I get the impression that the op has a very slow bb connection rather than TFF having slow servers. Is there not a browser setting that stops the automatic download of images and you can click on them if you want them to download?

I think it is my soggy spliced string that is an apology for BB, not Amazons infrastructure. I though I would try and persuade you to convert all the pictures to a smaller size by tempting you with the carrot of lower transit costs rather than just making one person happy.
Thought I would just see if there was an appetite. No worries.

@RushesToo If you give me an example image thread I'll look into it We do already reduce the image quality down, so it would be interesting to see what types of images are still quite big

As you can see from previous post we put a lot of effort into making sure the site is fast loading for everyone

@RushesToo
Probably your connection, loaded that almost instantly.

There's actually some quite large images in that thread, bigger than I was expecting... I'll add this to the staff board as something to look into. Would be nice to compress these a bit further make the whole site even faster

Don't you go compressing the pictures in the Oooooooh! thread too much or you'll have a riot on you hands.
