    Too slow! Far too many graphics. It took an absolute age to load and when it did, half the pictures were missing anyway :(

    Its a bit fussy. The use of graphics should always be kept to a minimum. I had no problems with speed but I have a 576kbps connection.

    Also some of the text is hard to read. Blue hyperlinks on pink background.

    Just tried it again and even though most of the images must be in my cache, it's still taking forever. I'm not having any problems with other sites.

    yea its still in its early stages.
    im using a free server to store the graphics so they do take a bit long to load.
    im streaming some mp3's from the dance floor, lots of old skool techno n stuff.

    Even your (rather large :rolleyes: ) signature took ages to load. The site is pretty slow (I'm on 1Mbps ADSL) and IMO has way too many graphics and bells and whistles on it.

    Not really my style, but whatever floats your boat :)

    i think its the place i store all the graphics (well most of em)

    http://www.uploadit.org/

    their free and very easy.

    pretty nifty but other peeps have said that this will happen unless i pay for storage. ive tried peeps like anglefire but they dont allow hotlinking.

    the sites only a few weeks old and its work in progress.
    ive just added a radio station today.

    but thanks guys i appreciate your opinions.

    Rob.
