Having problems with the speed in here...

[WandaRing]

My computer moves very slowly in here, I know it's partly the site and partly my old dinosaur of a computer...I've tried removing some of my photos, deleted my old private messages, and the messages in my friends box...but now it just says the message has been deleted, I think it looks bad and rude...something I don't want to do...

:sc Is there anyway to completely remove the old messages to free up the space and without it looking like I've just deleted people's thoughts away?

:sry

Are you talking about in your visitor message area? If so ask one of the mods to clean it up for you...

Yes MCat, I thought if I cleaned up all the old messages and files and pictures that I would move quicker...it seem to help just a bit...but now the vistor messages look in bad taste on my part...

thank you for your suggestion

I also find the site slow at times must be because a lot on

The cleaning and tidying up seems to have helped some...I guess I need to get better at deleting up my old PMs and visitor messages every few months or once it gets to be over 200. I'm such a pack-rat...:crs

Alot depends on how many are online at the time :(

Yes lots of traffic can slow the site down, and I've also learned not logging off slows down the site as well. One night I forgot to sign off...I just clicked the X instead of the Log Out toggle and I was still signed in when I opened M&F the next day. :yksGood thing I don't have anyone around who would be upset.....it could have caused problems.....:nu

Yes, you can notice it once and awhile but, its not that bad.
