Thanks Mods, I'm glad this is being addressed. I have cable, so it's not the slow connection, but rather all the scrolling through posts that has become bothersome to me as well. Sometimes I jump on the board for only 5 minutes or so a few times a day, and it does get monotonous to scroll through so much.

And, like Melissa said, once we've seen the pictures, we don't need to see them all the time. I also think it would be great to change the pictures then too. I'll probably be taking down my Christmas pic of Diana and either leave it blank for awhile or not till something else catches my eye.

Personally, I don't care for the tickers at all, but that's just me. I don't need to know how long it is till someone in your family's birthday or your anniversary, personal things like that. I think it was cool when someone (I forget who exactly) had the ticker about how many more days till Jess' release, or if things are related to AG, I think that's fun. I don't want to sound mean or impersonal about it, but I think the poster is really the only one who cares about the days till....whatever.

When a signature is 15 lines long just to list all the dolls that you have, I think that's excessive and would appreciate just commas between the list of names in horizontal fashion.
