i'm having difficulty enjoying subeta as it use too much of my limited internet data plan. is there any known workaround? or maybe kindly direct me to existing forum that already has answer :)
- Uh, are you talking about your phone, or your ISP at home? How much Bandwidth are you given, exactly?
i'm using phone for internet. i have only 5Gb. already used 2Gb in 1 week since i come here. i can't afford home internet.

dont load images? dont play as much?
does your browser pref have image sizing options? If it does then keep it at low instead of normal or high.
i had to load images. that's what attract me here. and i already avoid loading pages that i think i don't need to :) wasn't easy to avoid clicking on stuff.
nothing that i can find. i'm using firefox. maybe i don't know where it is. it just surprise me because i don't see much large image while on this site.
my current activities only quests, comments, tot, random, 4 games, and shop pricing. right now i don't use shop search to price, instead just hover items in inventory. it seems to use less data that way.
I don't know if adblock exists for mobile devices. If it does, you could use that to block certain images on subeta. Maybe there are some images you don't want to see all the time? Like when questing, you always see the image of the NPC that you're doing the quest for. But since the images always looks the same (except for morostide :P ), maybe you don't mind not seeing it all the time. Then you could block it and prevent it from loading with every quest?
If you want to ToT the same person all the time, then you don't need to go to their profile and click the link. You can circumvent the profile (profiles are usually image heavy I guess) by using the trick or treat link [tot = username] (without spaces) and save it in your notepad on the sidebar, or just keep the ToT page in a separate tab and just refresh the page once in a while.
I don't remember if there was an option to turn of certain things on the forum, or to show less posts per page (that way you can first look to see if the first post is interesting to you before you load a bunch of replies which you might not be interested in). Or some way to disable images in people's signature.
i use adblock :P i'm on PC actually. using phone internet.
oh yess i'm in the process of blocking some images that i find unnecessary like quest NPC thanks to you :)
also add some more bookmark like tot. silly me for going to profile each time. anything else?
Hmm, I can't find the forum options that thought existed. Maybe they were removed when we got the new forum.
There is an option to prevent youtube movies to start playing as soon as you get on somebodies profile page.
I'm not sure if making a bookmark to the ToT page is going to work. At least for other events they made it so that the link expires at some point, this to prevent people using auto refreshers to get their items. So if the link in your bookmark stops working, you might have to add the notepad widget to your sidebar and add the [tot = username] thingy there. That one will automatically update to a new link as soon as you load a new page.
I don't have too many other tips. But maybe some other people have some usefull custom CSS which you could use.
For example, I'm using custom CSS to prevent the facebook stuff from loading, because I don't use facebook anyway, and it was slowing down my page loads.
The code looks like this:
<style type=text/css>
.x-login-facebook{display:none!important;}
{display:none!important;}
</style>
youtube is already blocked in my life :P
how do i implement the CSS? will it be enough to adblock the FB button at the bottom of the page?
Custom CSS can be implemented here. It's one of the options in the user dashboard. I'm using the CSS because blocking the button with adblock didn't work for me, but maybe that has changed by now. The button was implemented in 2012, so maybe they changed the way it works since then.
