Not loading images

So, anyway, this may be my lack of forum skills, but I can't find the option "don't load any images" anymore.
Since this forum's gone even further in the whole "throws gifs/pictures at any thread instead of replying" than back when I left, it's incredibly slow-loading here at work (this is my secondary pc at work, it has ONLY IE open, and ONY HF - and it still manages to shut down due to lack of memory resources after a couple of hours.... IE 7.0 won't help either, of course). Being able to read the posts but not having all images load upon loading a page would be a great help. There used to be an option for that, but it's nowhere in account settings....
Am I blind?

No, that option doesn't exist. I suggest turning off images in your browser.

If you block imgur, photobucket, and one or two other major image sites you'll probably get most of them. You can add them to your hosts file, pointed to 127.0.0.1, and they'll stop loading. It's a cheap trick, but it works well, and is fast.

You should tell your IT people the 90s are over and you need a PC built for this century. :)

Stienman: I'd love to, but both of your solutions have been disallowed by IT :-P
Bones: don't worry, I like most of 'em :)
DarkAudit: this is the Century of the Fruitbat, right? :p

If it makes you feel any better, Lifehacker really liked IE 9, saying it's "not the IE you remember".

He's quite right. IE 9 is almost as good as Firefox 2.0 :p
