Default Replying to posts with loads of photo's

If someone updates a thread, such as a resto thread with a pile of photo's........can the mongs that then quote the post with all the photo's just to say something like, "nice car" or "keep up the hard work" go and think about how shit it makes the thread?

It's so boring loading a page to see the same set of photo's 5 times and only a few sentences of banal comments. If you comment just quote the post WITHOUT the photos unless you have a specific comment or question about a particular photo, in which caes just qoute that one!

That is all

Try to become a moderator and infract the offenders off the site.

I agree that it is irritating.

As an aside to that, is there an option to 'switch off' people's sigs on this forum without switching off pics that are posted. I'm just wondering if it would speed up the page load times? Noticed on mainly text sites like PH that the page load is very fast. This site is about the slowest I visit and I wondered if it was the sigs that everyone has?

I'm all for a ban for those that choose to do this. same with posting picstures full size, it slows the page down so much while it rescales them, if you just uploaded for web in the first place with a longside of about 800px then it would all work alot faster.

Yes that is very annoying!

Don't mind people copying say one photo to comment on but the whole lot gets ridiculous!

I thought that the forum software could be changed to remove pics from quotes. Maybe Stu can answer this? I've seen other forums I'm sure where this is the case.

Your one is coming on nicely though
