Hey Cereal, I don't have a slowdown problem with it but I'm on a fast dsl line. It is 239K. I've run it through a couple of optimization processes to get the size down. No Go. It was built as small as it can get.

A page that has only 6 posts (this one) should take me about 5 or 6 seconds to load. (56k modem) It just took me about 45 seconds to load :( Sorry.

Any One Else! If my banner causes slowdowns, by all mean, let me know & I'll change it to a non-animated banner. :D

I hope this is like the poll's thing. If everyone has a picture for their sig, they will all have to be loaded, and things will really slow down. Look at this page right now. I think it looks rediculous. And I have been called [i]"The Gifmeister"[/i]. Everyone here knows that I like to post funny pictures, but I don't want to look at these on [b] EVERY SINGLE POST[/b]. ROB, PLEASE TURN THIS FUNCTION OFF!!!! End of rant. I love you guys :D

I too, am running in the dialup world @ 56K, but I hadn't noticed a significant slowdown of the page loading. OTOH, I can see how it might just get out of hand if everyone started using large images or animated GIF's. I've been using the same "signature" since I came here over a year ago, and only added the GIF (thanks KHAN!) a few months back... I used copy / paste to add it to each post. But the size of the GIF is very small. The new feature allows me to post without the extra step, which is nice. I think it comes down to being considerate of each other. If we keep the images reasonably small, I don't think it should be a problem. Soundcrafter and Dak's images seem very reasonable to me...
