In addition to the pictures, I have to wonder if some of the exceptionally long threads don't contribute to delays.
Although some discussions need to go on for a long time, I think there are times when closing one out and starting another might save time or resources. This way only the most recent posts are loaded. Titling them such as "Are Crappie Good" "Are Crappie Good II", would let you know to search the archives.
