gogul: No such thing? ok, the music board doesn't work with slow connection

gogul: Sorry - I took your "Checkbox" as a feature request since it is on the feature request board, not asking if there was an option for it.

No currently there is not an option for it, but I personally avoid the music board for that reason. Both that & that flying dragon will freeze my Firefox browser for a few seconds (2-30 seconds) while it loads those things.

Of course I only see that dragon when I first log in, but otherwise, if it was a request to have the option - I agree with the request, and would like the ability to disable enbedded videos (instead, have a link if we want to view it.)

gogul: When I go to the Music board, I lower the posts per page, to the number of new posts that are there.

I check all boards, so I visit a different board before that board, and put the # closest to whatever the red number is, in the "Messages per page" box, before going to the music board.

Not a perfect solution, but it helps.

gogul: The new Opera beta has a feature that works just like that - "heavy" things, like flash and large images are not downloaded (or at least converted to a "lighter" version) to save on bandwidth. If you want to, you can still see the flash by clicking in it.
If you use this browser (or are interested in it) then you can upgrade to this new version...

gogul: Yes the music board is a pain. I have a decent computer and decent connection also and still it is sluggish for me sometimes. So i guess it must be horrible for lower end machines and connections. And i keep adding to that by posting those embedded videos... :)

Option to show links instead of the embedded video would be good. To make it even better there should be another option to show embedded videos on unread messages and links on the older ones.
