'Scuse my computer unsaviness. Wouldn't your computer only need to load it once, after which it will use the cache-stored version? I thought a php rotation script might make you load it 6 times, but even those return the same avatar collectively on a single refresh.

That reminds me: People who rotate avatars with every page refresh, and have a stored volume of about 200 different naked girls with their names stamped on top.

6MB GIFs still take a while to load, and caches are transient.

Most PHP rotation scripts I've seen point to a .php file on another server, which delivers a random image as a reply. Browsers may not recognize it as an image due to its unusual extension (although they won't fail to render it) and thus may not cache it. So depending on your settings, the thing will have to reload on every page it's present on. That is, unless your browser aggressively caches resources (like mine does) in an attempt to save bandwidth (like I do).

Rule 6 - Pornographic Material

Posting images of complete nudity is forbidden on the board. However, partial (upper portion only) will be allowed within the 'Lounge'. If such pictures are posted outside the Lounge, they will be removed or edited without warning.

That's a pretty puzzling post...
