It is very frustrating to wait over a min for a page to load and makes my experence here a very slow and unjoyable one. Please DO NOT USE long animated gifs. I have seen some that are way over 200 k and with more that 20 of these on the page at the same time the load time for a page goes up way to long
If you see one, feel free to PM a mod with the username.
if i may suggest, dl FIREBIRD BROWSER and simply right click and block the image and/or don't load image. Plus its a fast loading, slim browser.
Turn them off. Then it isn't an issue.
i would have to agree with jpaul and nikita if you want speed then turn them off you can use ad muncher also it great if you have norton firewall i belive that does it toohttp://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/1/slook.gif
100KB is the maximum for all images combined (according to the rules): Avatar / Signature SizeQuote:

just to add, about a week ago I sent a PM to one MOD and member about the tremendous amount of cookies (and loading time) I have blocked from avatars, sigs & posted pix. One suggested to get firebird, and ever since i installed it, I haven't had the need to block ONE yet.
GiF's tend to be OK its just people that use huge signitures that are annimated, you should be thankfull that we arnt allowed to use flash.
I wanted to get into file-sharing for a few years, I waited until I got broadband so as not slow others down. I turned off images in in forums so that I wouldn't have to ask this sort of thing. If someone can't keep up then it's their fault and they shouldn't moan. Apologies to anyone who can't get broadband/cable/whatever, but this is my opinion. http://smilieworx.com/smilies/scif32D.gif
you could always joing a T1 connection :) it is working for me :)
If they can't "keep up" it's not their fault. Sometimes high-speed connections aren't available. Sometimes people can't afford it.Quote:

Its also not our fault for having a decent connection or the oppounity.Imo its like blaming someone for being rich or winnig the lottery.You have what u have and have to put up with it.I think its quite cheek tring to hold someone back for what they have and pay for.No i'm no anti 56k.If i have anything u need i'd be happy to give u 7 k/b :D
