Hey I'm all for them and what not, but could you try to keep them to a couple dozen K. It's really annoying to lag while reading a message forum. I'd rather not have to disable avatars.

You have lag from avatars? You should probably invest in more hamsters for your Internet Wheel.

I have two suggestions:

1. Quietly turn off avatars.

This solves your problem without ******** at everyone about YOUR problem. You don't see any posts from me asking everyone to use larger fonts because ************ really DOES affect your eyesight, do you? Nope. I took the time to install the handicappers pack for windows so nobody that posts here would have to hear about how I squeeze off four a day just to keep the pump primed.

2. Use a computer that doesn't suck for your browsing.

This also solves your problem nicely. Chances are, it could give you an e-*****, too.

I'm not following you. How does using a faster computer give me an e-*****?

If you buy the "Computer of Raging E-rection +1" it just might

For what it's worth, I find the Avatar Of Incredible Loading Length annoying as well.

About you. But, then, you're not the first to use that -- or a different -- Avatar of Incredible Loading Length.

Mr Winky is fully compliant with forum rules, and is a relatively svelte 30K. Still a bit sturdier than Pandy's 24K.

Mr Winky is thinking of killing Pandy now. I'm going to go distract him.

Actually, Mr. winky, Pandy and even the black and white thingie are cached so it's not a big deal. It's the first time that gets ya.

None of them match up to the joy of seeing Ms. Jacob's soft brown eyes and full lips every time I post. It's like a rat hitting the bar for treats!

I guess I could change it. Can't right now though, my dad's comp is probably one of the worst on the entire planet.

Mr. Winky needs a girlfriend to distract himself permanently of killing off other avatars like Pandy and Kitty. Either that, or Mr. Winky needs a therapist.

This is a problem with the internet people use insane amounts of wasted space.

Your original image in your avatar is 939kb

This is a compressed version that is 361kb almost 3x smaller.

-linky- compressed version

Now take a look at both and tell me if you can see the difference between the two. While that avatar is a bit overboard (800+ frames), at least do us the favor of at least trying to compress it.
