Early Parole...Yes or No

150 x 150 (optimum size) (3495 bytes). Just seeing what the software will do, really.

Thanks for working on this. I decided to go with the smaller one that sparky3008 made.

Poof.  Motorgod's kharma is restored.  All can rejoice and continue back to their regularly scheduled program.

Cool. I hope he learned a good lesson. I consider myself educated these days.

Edit- And if you're on dial-up, just change your options to exclude avatars and sigs. Lesson for all the unfortunates.

Peace

Ok, to better explain what I'm talking about.
I ran THIS THREAD after my last post through a bandwidth analyzer.  Basically it tells you what items on the page are the largest, in order of size.  The following are the results:

Just going on file size, Motorgod's, Rouge's, Sparky's, and Scab's avatars are all larger than the page itself.  Rouge, Sparky, and Motorgod are all calling a larger image file to be displayed a lower resolution as well, which makes the file needlessly large.  Rouge and Sparky could probably cut 75% of the filesize and still have the image display exactly the same.

If anyone wants help with your images to make them as small as possible, let me know. I'll be happy to help optimize.

Also, anything larger than 50k will not upload to the server, and is being hosted offsite.  It doesn't add to the bandwidth we pay for hosting, but it does add to download time.

This thread is listed to take 181 seconds at full 56k modem, which is 3 minutes for this one page!!!

  . . . . . .What did you use?

Sorry Sparky, was working on second post and didn't see the question.

Using Polyview. Not really a image editing solution but the best image organizer and manager I've found over the years. The guy who writes the software has been programming for over 20 years and I believe is one of the original members of the Joint Photographers Expert Group. For a shareware program, he has the best algorithms for jpeg compression I know about and it is very tweakable.

Get it here Polyview Home Page

good stuff.

I downloaded one off of zdnet that didn't seem to work as well as yours.

Will have to check it out, Thanks

Sooo.. motorgod buys the entire fjr house a round at WFO?

BTW MG.. I voted for full repentance waaay before this thread caught fire.. Only one round for ME would be OK!

... Hope you changed your mind..

 

[Scab]

Sure, dcarver, sure. Suck-up.

I'd love to bring Britney back. Unfortunately she is too big....and if I down size her it just doesn't have the same effect.....I could bring back David Hasselhoff....

OK then, at least label the pooch, 'radman' and the '****, 'skooter'. It is, after all, only appropriate...

Well, I don't really care about Britney but posting in the giant blue font is not a good start.

How 'bout re=posting in the giant blue font then? Give him a break, silver wasn't available. :bleh:
