i believe the self discipline to keep your signatures and pictures (member cars section especially for me, or should i say my dial up) to reasonable size is the best.
unfortunately some of us are limited (not by choice) to slow connections and as a result of posting large pics and large size gifs our experience and participation in the forum is some how limited...
sometimes i just give up with loading some topics because i cant see a pic or gif signature (PaulyJ yours loads up immidiately, others take time unfortunately) and as such have no idea what the topic is really about.
anyway, i believe other members know what i am talking about and will assist as best as they can...
pred8r, thanks for the tip, i will see if i can succesfuly install the addon's to the firefox i use.
platypus, sound promising mate.
