Title: Re: User Icons Post by admin on Feb 25th, 2005 at 10:32pm
You are the first to ask for it as I recall. FWIW - They are always available by clicking a member's name. Every few months I'll flip the switch for kicks and they are displayed until some dial-up member complains. (I don't blame them one bit.)
Mine is 368 bytes, DentonDoc's is a nice, tight 58KB for what you get, there are some over 350KB. Everyone that views a page with those images imbedded has to portage that weight (bandwidth) day after day after day. Plus some people steal images that don't belong to them (w/o asking) and often are using another sites nickel to do it. (Believe me, I get e-mails...) Anyway, who want's to see the same image all the time? I do flip the switch on occasion though, a few weeks ago as I recall. You must not visit enough. This site is about the BW/Q. It's not here to display personal flair. (In fact that's pretty much frowned upon when it's noticeably overt.) This forum exists only to share ideas and experience. I hope it also says something about being considerate of your surroundings and the other people who visit after you're long gone. Kid - none of this is directed at you. It's just that I hate wasting anything, especially someone's time. We're all here hoping to learn how to travel lighter, smarter, better... Just be glad QJ doesn't exist for advertising income. I also might be tempted to frame in an extra 220KB you can't even see, just to pad the stats. Nah. That in itself is noticeable with all the extra server calls; even with a cable modem. I do appreciate the question... been there done that. In this particular case you're talking to the hand. |
