Be like me and disable all avatars and signatures. My smorg loads like lightning. Unless I go to the animated gif thread. Which is why I rarely go there.

To me your abada looks like a kung fu diving board.

By the way, some of you guys on here have avatars that are enormous, but have the size set on the forums which is why it doesn't show up that way. I think the huge image has to load everytime anyways though, so you might want to check that out.

Yeah. Maybe I can set a file size restriction?

Yeah, that would be awesome.

My general rule of thumb is to keep avatars the same size or smaller than the admins. I'm not freaking out about my Kasumi Goto avatar right now because Phil's is still larger haha.

Your actual avatár image is 3 times bigger than Phil's, Baltar. And take that, censor.

Be that as it may, it's also resized on here to be smaller. I might be wrong, but I don't see how that would effect your load time? I'm sure Fallen Kell could explain that shit to me, or Steve, they seem like computer people.

The browser still loads the full size of the image, then scales it down to the height/width you specify. In essence, you're making us load an image this size everytime you post.

then the browsers do the work to scale it down to the size you specified. If you had an image that was scaled already, it would be greatly appreciated.

Like Sword and Dante said. My avatar is this big always

I get the Avat@r references from the second two pictures, but all I can think about from the first one is "Damn Marlboro is good, I wish they were sold in Canada"

Does anyone know how to get my PSN thing in my sig to appear?

Pretty sure it has to be an image like the gamertags. Don't think embed codes like that work on here.

Thank ya very much.

np.
FYI,

Code:

translates to

Code:

[url]XXX[/url]

and

Code:

translates to

Code:

[img]XXX[/img]

And you can nest an img inside a url, making the image be a link.
