    I open up all the sections I read in separate tabs, then each thread in a separate tab. Means I never have to wait for the page to load.

    So all you that use tonnes of tabs - how big is your memory footprint in Firefox?

    I usually have three or four open, but only one or two of those are for HEXUS Forums.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    About 85MB with 5 tabs open (standard for me) - but with a gig of RAM, I don't really worry about it. (Even with - from work - a command prompt, VS.NET, 3 explorers, enterprise manager, 3 Query Analysers, Winamp, Outlook, Remote desktop client, Computer Management, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Dreamweaver and a couple of notepads open )
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

    Ive had mem usage infirefox upto 300mb, thats with a gb of ram. It doesnt like that much, starts to crash and get slow... but when you have THAT many forum windows open...

    Thats the reson I use opera for forums, seems to be better with tabs.
