increase size of ship banners

[Freon22]

Last of all, nobody here is taking into account the internet cache, the 3rd or 4th time you view a given ship tag, its stashed on your hard drive and your no longer downloading it just reading the file off the drive.

thank you! so really there is no reason why we cant increase the size!!

Infinity did talk about the cache, read her post!

There is, of course, a remedy to this... every time you start your browser to play SMR, you turn on ship tag display in preferences, then click on every single player with a ship tag, so the images get cached into your browser and - then, finally, you can play safe from reloading them from the server if reading news in a bad situation, after you've turned ship tags off again.

Can we please not implement this?

The below code is from the Current Sector page. How keep in mind that each browser may or may not cache it anyway.
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

In the pages that I code I try to cover as many browsers hoping that they will do what I ask. Thats a laugh LOL
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "private"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "max-stale=0"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "post-check=0"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "pre-check=0"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Keep-Alive", "timeout=3, max=993"); // HTTP 1.1
Response.AppendHeader("Expires", "Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // HTTP 1.1

You dont have to cache everytime unless you clear it...

You do not understand that one line of code is asking the browser to not cache the web page.
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

Also I was say that some browsers do their own thing no matter what the web coder is asking the browser to do. So anyway this is how the cache works, when you visit a web page and there is nothing on the web page that is telling the browser to not cache "no-cache". The browser will look and see if it all ready has a copy of that web page if it does and nothing has changed on the web page it will use the copy that is stored on your computer. If it has changed then it will save a new copy and then display it.

I am sure it would cause pods from time to time and that people will be unsatisfied about it. There is no reason to annoy players cause you want a HD independent film as your ship tag.
