"youtube" clips in a thread

[Simon T 496]

Hello

There are often threads links to a YouTube vid of a track; is it my imagination or does the tread's loading time increase as more links are added? This also seems to have a knock on effect on speed when parts of the site. win 7 firefox, clearing cache seems to have helped

thanks

each youtube clip is loaded up in your browser direct from youtube, so the more clips on the page the more resources it takes

there may be some workarounds with different browsers etc but guess it all depends on various factors, such as your devices memory etc etc
