can we perhaps have a limit on the size of gifs, lets say to a max of 1MB

they really slow down the performance of this website, atleast this is my experience especially when a few users have large file gifs and then I have to wait for them to load, and then it happens everytime I open a thread.

And for mobile users who pay for data it could prove to be quite expensive to browse this forum.

:lol:

My .gif is 245kB's

:biteme:

Anyways,

I dont see that much .gif's floating on this forum for us to warrant the size restriction or am I mistaken?

your gif once I downloaded it actually reads 1.7MB

I don't actually know who has and who hasn't got gifs

My problem is that at work I don't actually see all the gifs, just yours CA, due to work restrictions.

however when I get home I just cancel the pages as they take ages to load because of the gifs so I don't actually browse the forum.

Strange

It shows as 245Kb's on my side (even when I browse at home at night from my dongle it shows as the same size)

I think crispy & 8 valves also has .gif as sigs (if they still do have it)

Dont you like Jessica or is that not your cup of tea, saturnz? :P

I'm actually running a 10mbps line, however the bottleneck is the service provider and if you check my other posts I actually looked for other service providers.

It is easy to ask if I thought about, and yes I did, but if nobody is willing to supply me better internet then what exactly do you suggest I do?

All what I ask is for some consideration of those who are not as fortunate as yourself to spend huge amounts of money on internet.

we did approach neotel and rejected what they had to offer, to be quite frank they saw the Body Corporate as a cash cow
