Suggestion to help Bandwidth Usage

Post by CtrlAltDel »

Suggesting the 'Quick Reply Box' that can go at the bottom of a thread that people can use instead of hitting the reply button. Saves a page view and all the images that are on there. Reduces b/w quite a bit depending on how busy your forum is.

The addon would be found here.

I would assume that someone here is a member of that site since you guys do run a vbulletin board, but if not sign up, its a good resource.

As used on my site (and of course as modifiable as you'd want)

I think this is a very good idea - I've seen this on several other MBs and whether it reduces bandwidth or not (which I presume it would) I'd like it anyway, if installing it isn't going to cause any problems.
