My goodness! What did he ^^^ just say? LOL! (((((((Belial))))))) You're so cute when you talk all tekky!

Well, here's my experiment results...

On "User CP", in "edit options"...I originally changed style from "User Forum Default" to "Pixies Place vbulletin 3 style". Just now I changed from "3 style" to "sitestyle" and jumped around, opening threads, and it was real good. I could open threads faster and the skin seemed ok to look at. Then I changed to "Pixies" style and jumped around again. The skin was gray and washed out and threads were really, really slow to open. So, I went back and changed back to "3 style" and lowered the amount of replies that open on a page for me, from 30 to 20, and then I jumped around again. It was a little faster, and might be even more so if I lowered the replies to 10 per page, but still slow to open threads. I would have tried more choices, but they didn't seem like something I'd like or need. I don't want everything in "pink/default", for example. So...my conclusion from this non-scientific, non-tekky experiment...

If I set my style to "sitestyle" and keep the amount of replies on a page to 20, I can open the threads faster and live with the skin they are in.

Does that make sense...and will I be missing out on anything if I keep my style set here?

Tune in tomorrow...for another episode of...

Lixy Tries To Get Tekky Wit It!

P.S. I'm leaving for the shore tonight and may not get back here till Sunday (sometime). Not sure when I'll get on here again...but I'll be thinking of you all and hoping I didn't toss a fly in the ointment with all my experiments!

*hugs to all*
