Avatars disappearing during peak times

When did I complain about the DL dance?

[Apocalypse]

You complain about load problems.

[Kuciwalker]

The DL dance doesn't create load problems. Each person only has to download the smiley once. Heck, they've probably already downloaded it before simply by clickling the smilies legend or something.

How many people actually click the smileys legend though? People who use smileys. No smileys means less load. I win.

You've been here forever and still don't know them by hart???

Each smiley has to be downloaded AT MOST once per day. No load on the server.

[Kuciwalker]

Fix your smiley. And no, we can't see it.

Some people redownload them every time they start their browser. Which can be multiple times per day. And when you click refresh/reload, many times the images are reloaded too.

Still, Markos has said that such images don't contribute much at all to server load - heck, the buttons above your posts probably contribute way more!

Then we can make them text only.

[Kuciwalker]

You clearly missed my point.

[Apocalypse]

No, I got it. And I'm still saying smilies aren't really worth it.
