  Allows for a maximum of 32 connections to download each web page. Overkill. Please don't set this option higher than 8. Actually, usually anything greater than 4 is overkill. Your system has to handle multiple TCP/IP connections which slows down your end, and you put 32 times the stress on the server at the other end. Please be a good netizen and don't do it.

  later followed with
  
  

  network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
  
  * Description: maximum number of consecutive requests in one pipeline.
  * Type: integer
  * Limit: 8
  * Default: 4
  * Additional Info: nsHTTP.h. Optimal value depends on connection bandwidth/latency.
  * Recommendation: 8. While it doesn't hurt to set it to 100 like in other tweak examples, it will have no effect whatsoever because of the mentioned limit.

  so whoever was asking in parka's thread "what if i set the value to 1000", you'll have no effect whatsoever.

  that one is sgforum's coding problem, probably stems from the box showing the people logged in. can't be sure without more info, but i believe that's the main problem, maybe jason never specify width value of 1 of the boxes, or it never load properly.
