I have reduced the background image some more, it's now 27k. I can't get it any smaller without blurring it beyond recognition.. but if it's still slow for dialup users, i'll see what I can do. Once it's cached you shouldn't need to load it each time.
On the main homepage of IceInSpace, i've also removed one of the Sun images and moved some of the older news items to an archive area. In the near future i'll develop a method to access the news archives.
I'll continue to move some more old news items off the front page to ensure it loads as quick as possible. For the forum home page, I can't think of anything else that would cause a slow load.
Let me know how it is for you.
