    For our politeness-impaired members, allow me to translate:

    The forum Admin has repeated himself (politely) twice over the past 9 days. I've known him since 2000, and never seen him double-post, much less triple-post.

    Everyone should check their sig now for compliance with the stated Org standard - and spread the word that sig size and bandwidth will be scrutinized closely by staff. Voluntary compliance is preferred, of course.

    Anyone with trouble bringing their sig into compliance can feel free to contact me or any other moderator - many of us have image-resizing software we can use to assist.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    So when can we start warning people for not thinking about others in a community?

    Just give the call.

    I am a 56ker... The forum is great, the page loads up and THEN the pictures and sigs appear,I can read the page before the pictures all load up...its not the size or kb, its the number of pixils.
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time,To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all,Screw 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

    Hello Medieval Assassin,

    More pixels result in a larger size of the image which results in more kb.
    Normally, because there's also pixeldepth. 2 bit color consumes less kb/pixel than 32 bit color. What determines the size is number of pixels and the colordepth. A 20*10 pixel 2 bit jpeg of a white background is 336 byte, the same jpeg at 32 bit is 635 byte.

    Pictures are limited to 500 pixels wide to prevent scrolling and posts becoming wider than the topic. 150 pixels high to minimize the need to scroll. 10 kb to allow fair speed to 56k users, no sound because some people use the PC to play music while browsing.

    What I'm saying is I have no problem with high KB images, just when these images take up the whole screen.

    Hint - there are a few in this very thread who aren't currently complying with the Org's standards.

    Tip for the narrowbanders: you can turn off avatars, signatures and images by going into your User Control Panel (UserCP), select Edit Options, and scroll down to Thread Display Options. You can also alter the number of posts shown per page.

    Depending on the cache settings of your browser, these options could improve page loading times significantly.

    WOO HOO MINE COMPLIES!


    I have 56k and the only real trouble I have had is tonight, probably from AIM being open and when I went to the CTW loading screens thread.... many large but necessary pictures. But the rules should definately not be made more lax because my modem would have an aneurysm!

    Thanks to therother for the link, there was something useful on page 2 of the second.
    These are the settings now:

    Signature box is 500*200 pixels max and provides room for one or more pic at max 500*150 pixels, 10 kb, no sound + 2 lines of text or 11 lines of 700 chars.

    Please note that sigs may look cut off. Please users, update all signatures to comply to the new rules.
