How much easier can it get? Are you on Windows XP? Download this:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResi zerPowertoySetup.exeIt lets you resize pics by right-clicking on the pic.
There's not much reason to have pics over 100k in the forum. If they're that big, they're probably so large as to make people have to scroll back and forth to read the thread. I think it's a simple solution to a recurring problem and I'm glad Cliff implemented it. Besides, Cliff has asked that people keep sig pics to 30k or less. Donk's "small" pic is over that (barely) and he wants to add another 229k + pic just to have a pic of boobies in his sig? It's people like that who make me wish Cliff would do away with sig pics altogether. That pic doesn't even have ANYTHING to do with a Fiero. It's a useless waste of bandwidth. If I want to look at boobies, I don't try to find them on a car forum.  ------------------

As one of the 'unclean', I am on dialup, have never encountered this "click to load picture", and haven't had problems viewing any threads other than that image heavy 'Gwen Stefani' thread. I must be doing something unleperish.

Well, the obvious answer is to make sure the file is under 100KB. It isn't really difficult, ya know. You can resize it, play with the resolution, and use different types of compression (JPG, GIF, PNG, etc). Many photo editing programs can do that stuff, and some are free! So you really have no excuse, aside from laziness.

Edit,,,,
This is a readers digest version of what I posted without the rant.
I like pictures and picture sigs and can understand long load times in engine build threads and "show me your" threads.
I do like the new 100K limit to speed up loading.
I don't agree with the folks who tell me that I'm in the stone age and must get a high speed ISP to accommodate their desire to post massive sigs or pics.
I am sorry that I ranted, please forgive me. I was only irked at the perceived callous indifference to the load times of large pictures.[This message has been edited by jetman (edited 09-13-2004).]

Would it be possible to atomatically make a thumbnail of the the oversize pic as a link? I don't know if a program could be written to do that or not. Just an idea. BTW, I still love ya Donk. You prick!  Kris
