To Anyone using Mozilla Firefox!

You can make it SOO much faster than it already is, here's how you do it, I copied it from another site and it works rediculously well. It pulls pages up sooo much faster.

If you run Firefox, you already know it's worlds faster than IE.

But you can tweak it and make it a lot faster still.

In the address bar, enter: "about:config" and hit enter (or press go)

You'll see a ton of settings. The three we care about here are:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining

Set them to

network.http.pipelining = True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30
network.http.proxy.pipelining = True


Do that, makes pages load a million times faster.

Honestly I don't see how I can move threads. Seems like I have the power to delete and edit but that is it.

you should be able to move it. go up to the first post, and under thread tools, there should be an option to move/copy thread. If you don't have it, that's really weird.
