OT: Those of you with HUGE gif files slowing everyone down please read...

53 posts in this topic

This isn't just aimed at Gator (really Gator, it's not) but for all of you with these huge .gifs in your sigs now.

 

I know, I know... I could just turn off the sigs but the polite thing to do would be to limit the size of your animated .gif so you're not bogging down the threads!

 

Otherwise I'd be happy to include the one below in my sig for a few days (that I'm sure isn't even close to being finished loading as you read this)

 

Plus, I'll be happy to post a few of these ;)(tsk)hm:applause::kidaround: in EVERY thread to be sure that everyone sees the marvelous HUGE .gif I found.

 

Finished loading yet? Might be about half-way there by the time you've gotten this far even on a fast connection.

 

I can't be the only one who believes that some of the sigs here are getting out of hand.

 

I seem to recall having a larger version of this one " 984-i182.photobucket.com-albums-x132-kippynips-MONTAGE20BUFFY.gif at one point and you guys gave me all kinds of hell about it because it was loading to slow!

 

Needless to say enjoy the one below as I'm sure it's not finished loading yet. It might be finished around lunch time.

my Gif is small.....

 

:sorry:

 

I took some pills to make it bigger, but alas, nothing. It did run for 4 hours straight, however.

 

If you experience a stiff .gif for more than 4 hours, call your IT guy.

Congratulations on the most annoyingly pedantic post in the history of online bulletin boards. You should be proud.
