Yes, but it makes the members page ugly

Given the large number of page views that Apolyton serves up every day and the comments lately about load speeds, it seemed worth mentioning.

That's the speed of the server, which is not the same as speed at your end. Making features optional will slow down the server, because it needs to check whether a particular user has a certain feature turned on, which adds up to a whole lot more work.

OTOH, a "barebones" style won't add to the load.

It seems logical to set up a system whereby that vast majority can read the messages without spending extra time waiting for things to load that they don't need.

Yes, the forums should be totally redesigned to accomodate people who never post.

Well, something is causing a slowdown. I'm seeing way too much of the "Host apolyton.net contacted. Awaiting reply..." message.

I still sporadically get the issue where the smileys take 30 seconds or so to load, even though the pages are virtually instantaneous for me.
