Hello,
Perhaps a strange question. Currently, the settings (e.g. show signatures,
avatars, ...) are stored on the server.
In some cases, it might be interesting to have this on the clientside:
when I connect via Lynx (yes, this happens; this message is typed in
Lynx
), it would be interesting not to have signatures), when I connect
through my PDA, it would be interesting not to have avatars (speed +
volume; disabling all images seems too harsh). Storing the information in
a cookie would allow me to have different settings on different systems.
I know this is not important, and I don't know if there are
disadvantages (nor how of if this is possible in vbulletin). So, are there
other opinions, thoughts, ...?

). And no matter how you put it: lynx running on the server will be faster than any browser on that PC (it has an entirely different network-route, which has a lower bandwith, hosts more PCs and passes an additional firewall).
