SafariGal: At present the only way to remove smileys and pictures is to use grease monkey and write a script to do it. As a paying member you have the option to turn off smileys.

I do think there should be a minimal bandwidth option available to all players. This would allow people to turn off all pictures and save bandwidth for both BrainKing and for those people that turn this feature on.

I would like this because when I am on a wrieless connection I don't always get a very fast connection to this site.
