Dear Team,

In Mumbai most of the middle class folks make use of the broadband connections provided by MTNL.

MTNL charges subscribers of its services based on the total downloads each month.

One small thing which my brother noticed is that whenever I use the Accessability Website the down loads are very high. I think this website is very heavily packed - and so many photos etc will make the downloads high, thus leading to large bills.

To say the truth I am totally ADDICTED to this website hence just cant stop myself from browsing during the weekends from my home PC, but the large amount of downloads do need some attention.

I hereby request the team to check and see if anything can be done about it - or else leave it as it is.

Warm Regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for raising this.

First of all many thanks for the compliments.

am totally ADDICTED to this website

Your appreciation makes us proud of the wonderful community we have here.

I shall now address your specific querry. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be problem at this website's end- I have spent the last few hours checking everything at our end and getting things rechecked by a few experts who had contributed in the initial designing of the PHPBB software that this forum is using. They all concur that the website is quite light and there is nothing in the site to be causing unusually larger downloads.

Let me assure you that this is not the case & its only very light thumbnails of pics that load at the forum index page. The larger pics only load on album pages, only when you click on the thumbnail. Infact, after thorough evaluation today, we have discovered that the pages that incorporate larger file sizes than others are the ones with topics that include a lot of text (i.e. the popular topic pages which have more postings by members here) .... but even that is not unusual for a page with that amount of text.

We have always been vary of this issue from the start and that's why (& to address accessibility issues) we have never incorporated any heavy graphics or flash in any of our websites. We take pride in meeting Level A of the WCAG web accessibility standards on our AccessAbility & Employability websites. As addressed earlier, we are aware of the tabular design of the forum rendering accessibility problems for people using older speech readers & we do aim to resolve these issues.

So please be assured that we have thoroughly examined your request. I do however suggest that you might need to examine your browser's cache to make sure it is not playing up & causing you to download more than is needed for normal web surfing.

We do however plan to introduce (soon) a 'Printer Friendly' page option to enhance accessibility of the forum for persons using speech readers & this will also enable availability of a slightly 'lighter' version of the forum.

Regards,

Webmaster

Hi,

I am accessing thrugh the corporate net through 8 mb connectivity through security cover. I finding in the each page the color scheme is taking too much time format and load. it must be layered properly, otherwise the toool you used ,just checkup the raw jsp/asp. otherwise time wise it is little slow only, but not bad

the design is good
