Don’t mean to pick on ya Medic but its irfanview not ifranview . And you’re right, its a great little program, easy to use. My ISP won’t let any pix bigger than 150K get loaded on to my website, and I had a hard time getting those I took myself below that until a friend told me about it.
I’m working on getting the ones I do have out there down to below 100K each so I can up load a lot more.
Done.
Fortunately, the pic I am using has a small version as part of the
url, so changing it was easy. I, too am one of those unfortunate
souls who has no high-speed internet access-living up in the
mountains is wonderful, but has it’s limitations-like no cable
within 10 miles-so none likely ever.
Have a great day.[:)]
I have absolutely NO idea of what you guys are talking about, so I went into my website and hit ‘properties’ on my sig. photo and it says 10746 bytes and 426x320 pixels. Whatever that means. Am I still in the running, or am I one of the guys that’s fouling things up for other people? Let me know, okay? I want to play fair.

Tom, I just right-clicked on your pic and it’s showing up as 48KB, but that’s under the 50KB limit somebody mentioned earlier, so I guess you’re still OK.
I do have an off-topic question for those of you with cool signature graphics - where do you get the little animated trains and clipart stuff that some of you have? Did you get it from somewhere on the web, or did you have to get a CD with all the stuff on it, or did you make it yourself?
www.frograil.com is where you find the trains from. Copy and paste into a paint program, and save it how you want, and put it up here.

Excellent, Alec, thanks a lot! I’ve always had signature envy, now I can have a decent one of my own [:D]
Cheers,
Well coolness, my signature pic is under 50kb. In fact, it is under 25kb, awesome.
I know how all you dial-up users feel, I used to be one. I was running on a 26.6. connection, on a 450 Mhz computer. That didn’t work so hot. Trains.com would cra***he thing almost everytime. But that’s in the past, I’ve got cable now.[:D]
Mine is 19.9K, and I also resize all of the photos I post. I do this partly out of consideration for those that have low bandwidth access, but mainly for conservation of space in my on line file storage area.
No single photo goes over 40K, and most are under 30K. At that rate 25M of storage goes a long way.
Most photo editors should have a means by which you can control image size. Things like dpi (dots per inch), and file compression (jpeg formatting) make a big difference in keeping file size down.
Are you saying that it is fun to overload a post with a huge graphic?
Good point Randy, I suffered with 28.8kb for 8 years before Cable internet arrived. I was almost ready to get a satellite dish for internet.
The size of my signature picture is now reduced to 68k.
OK, I reduced my sig pic down to 20K - I was wondering why people generally skip reading my posts…![:I][B)]
Heck with those cheap little free programs. I just went on my P2P network and bootlegged Adobe Photo Shop 7.MUCH more versital!(uh oh, the software cops are at my front door,now I did it!)
