Terry Head Honcho Registered: Wed Dec 31 1969 Posts: 21448 Loc: USA	I am now compressing ALL data sent from FunTrivia, which should reduce download times for anyone using newer browsers by 50% or more. Does FunTrivia seem faster for any of you now? You'd be most likely to notice it on slower modem connections. Terry

One thing, although I've specified that I don't want it seen what thread I'm in, it still shows! No biggie........Gawd! Am I "hijacking"?

Terry Head Honcho Registered: Wed Dec 31 1969 Posts: 21448 Loc: USA	> How long have you been compressing the data? Oh, about 15 minutes now I'm getting about 50-80% data compression sitewide. The homepage is normally 13K, now it's sending it at about 5K. That should hopefully both speed things up for you folks and halve my bandwidth costs! Terry

Blinkybill Prolific Registered: Thu Oct 10 2002 Posts: 1598 Loc: Sydney NSW Australia	Yes it is faster for me, but I'm not sure if it's from your ajustment or mine! At the same time the forums were being upgraded I ticked "no" in preferences for viewing pictures and signatures because my loading was super slow. I'll put the pics and tags back and see how things run. _________________________ I'd rather be over the hill than under it!
