Animated graphic size limit

[BaldEagl]

Skuzzy... how about imposing one on the BBS?

I know my old laptop isn't very new or fast but it's plenty good for browsing the Internet, that is, until I hit the AH BBS an someone's posted a large animated graphic in a post (waytin's in before the lock for example).  Then my poor machine grinds to a halt.  I'm guessing people on dial-up generally aren't too pleased either.

There's a limit as to how much text you can post.  Why not a limit on graphic size?

Because these pics are just links to something in other sites?

I will see what I can do to reduce the size Bald.  Sorry about the impact on your machine Sir.

I just used you as an example.  There are others.  The animated nook graphic that shows up in every B-29 thread is another.

btw, option to show embedded images as links would be welcome, i believe.

Yup he should eliminate all animated pictures and icons. Even your's as some folks are on 486 DXs still.

Wait I have a Compaq Suitcase..... maybe we should eliminate the whole GUI...

Explorer: Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Multimedia, uncheck "Play Animations in Webpages"

That isn't even 100kb.

If hes on 56KB wouldn't that mean it should take him 2 seconds to load it?

but it can also do with computing power.

This looks strange in DOS.

Soon I'm upgrading to Windows 3.11

In this case, KB means kilobit, with an actual max transfer rate of about 40-50 kbit/s depending on circumstances.

At 40kbit effective data rate, a 100kbyte file would take ~20 seconds to load.
