I must disagree, carter. We have one (MyShoutbox) on our board and it is diabolically slow on dial up.

Re: Removing Chatspace.


Even with a flatrate I have to refresh the whole page just in order to see if anyone has posted... not quite as comfortable as a real chat.

Well, that is true, firelanz, but the point of the MESSAGE board is that you're constantly browsing it, in different forums and threads, so if you keep moving, the shout box moves with it. emoticon And Rimmer, it must be the dial up thing because I'm on a network here, no dial up, and it doesn't slow me down at ALL.

My work machine is on network too and it still gets annoying pauses while the shoutbox refreshes itself.

I like my home board and visit regularly but the fact is, now it takes me twice as long on dial up to post/read. That's fine when I have time but in reality, my board involvement is dropping. I used to read just about every post - now I get in about half.

I'm not complaining, just stating a fact.

We have an incredibly democratic board and mature people to go with it. If the shoutbox is what people want, that's just the way it is.

The purpose of my reply to Philltime was to advise him/her of a potential issue.

Thanks, Beavis. That was a kind gesture.

Just shows what a great group we have over there at Displaced Veggies.
