What might help your situation a bit....

[in top forum menu] go to your Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout and check 'Don't show users' signatures' and 'Don't show users' avatars' and lower 'Messages to display per page' down to just 5 per page.

also there is a setting in your browser to stop downloading pictures, in Internet Explorer it's in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced that you could turn on whenever you browse image intensive sites.

You mean when a topic grows very large with many replies? You'll just have it split on more pages than what the rest of us on default setting have, that's all. It shouldn't break anything. Glad it helpled you!
