....are TOO large.

Please all you people out there with broadband connections - there ARE people out here who live in the sticks and have rubbish type SLOW download times.
I really enjoy and find your photo’s educational sometimes - for example the pic’s I downloaded tonight to get the info to remove the front of my S2 to get at the air filter saved me a long struggle. (Incidentally a mechanic, staying with us for a fishing holiday, who looked over my shoulder as I puzzled the position of the front bolts, said “Give it a thump, it probably just clips in at the front.)
The largest file needed after compression doesn’t actually need to be more than 50k. There’s one tonight on a head removal that’s 3.7meg. That would take 25 minutes on my slow connection.
People – me – don’t wanna wait that long to see your works of art – much as we appreciate them.

turn images OFF in your profile, and you can click on the link instead of having to automatically load it.

woa, hold on..

this UBB doesn't support that feature. Sucks to be you.

I think you and maybe one other on here have dial up. I don't think anyone is going to cater to you whims.

I agree with the idea of keeping your pictures small and efficient. The problem is that most people who post don't have the knowledge/skill or programs to compress the pictures. 3.7MB for a picture is WAY TOO MUCH!

compress those suckers!

Photoshop allows you to "Save for Web," and automatically compresses files.

While I understand the pain of a dailup connection speed, the large (but compressed) photos can be really nice.

I think it's common sense to use a link or better yet a thumbnail when sharing images greater than 250K in file size.

"I don't think anyone is going to cater to you whims."

Ahh Bull****, I always use links for just that reason.

Funny storry. Woman at old job sent out an e-mail with a 3meg+ image posted in it company wide. Actually froze outlook throughout the company as 300+ computers tried to suck the image down.

While she was being chastized her boss did a reply to all that included the same image sent out once again to everyone in the company freezing outlook again.

Hey! I have dial-up, it's worth the wait though. I just can't stand the dial-up timeouts, Especially when I'm on AIM. No activity for a few mins, BOOM, you're kicked off. Sucks too!
