For those wanting to test their forums speed, this is the link you need: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/index.html and add your forums address in the box after *Enter URL to diagnose: _________________ CALM TIME: When calm time is called, all posters in a topic must take time out to calm down.

Just run the forum through again on the new template, and we get a bit of a slapping on the size of the CSS file, but this is actually to some degree a flaw in the testing, files like CSS files are highly compressible and several techniques will reduce their size a lot as it hits a low speed modem! So whilst it is an area to consider, it really is the images that are the killer to speed. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Thanks to Bravo we have trimmed 9kb or so from the support forum size. I'd remind admins that this thread is a useful one to check out. Your forums load time is important. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Here's mine: Is that good? I suppose it must be okay; there's only one warning. Which is confusing me rather as I don't use any more javascript than is created with the forum automatically (smilies and such). Any ideas how to get it down? I followed the links there but I didn't really understand it My forum link is http://pellinormadpeeps.myfreeforum.org if that helps.
