New low-bandwidth forum style

Unread post by Tim Green »

A minimalist forum style called subLite is now available for those who need to save bandwidth -- for example on dial-up connections or when you are using your G3/UMTS or GPRS cellphone as a modem with a volume rate.

The subLite style is almost entirely text. It just uses a couple of tiny icons. However, since graphics attachments are still displayed you may want to turn off graphics display on your browser to reduce your bandwidth when browsing with a phone modem.

To use the style just click on Profile in the forum header and select "subLite" in the Board Style: field.

Tip: The forum is normally displayed with the standard graphical style before you are logged in. To avoid this just select the Remember me/Log me in automatically option when you log in, then the subLite style will be displayed as soon as you load the forum if you have selected it in your profile.
