> Downloading an email is 20-30 KB. Opening a forum page could be 1MB or more.
Honestly this is kind of a ridiculous argument. But even if you consider it, still a forum page is not 1MB per page, the css and js files will get cached after your first request, so browsing subsequent pages won't require nearly 1MB per page. Also to stretch your argument even thinner, there do exist really lightweight forum themes. It doesn't have to be megabytes of background photos and heaps of JS per page anyway. At any rate, we should really consider the percentage of people who browse FIG on a wooden PC with dialup internet before optimizing the UI to that setup. > I don't understand why people insist on wasting bandwidth and time basing the decision on their 100 Mbit home connection. It's 2016, people browse Facebook and Instagram on their phones all day. 5 Instagram pictures are the same size the JS and CSS are for the forum (and remember you only need to download the JS and CSS once) On Sun, Aug 7, 2016 at 2:36 PM, Michael Cullum <m...@michaelcullum.com> wrote: > Daniel, > > Please keep it professional here.
