Hi guys,

if you want to make a thread with big animated files, by all means, go ahead. Please post the "Large files" disclaimer in the title (or something to that effect).

However, for signature images that will appear on every post, please limit the size to ~100KB (see the forum FAQ). We don't want a thread with 30 replies to have 30 x 500KB = 15MB of images to load

thanks
Neal

I thought, "not modem friendly" was advice/warning enough, but I'm unaware of an official subsim title warning regarding this. I mean something like when releasing a mod, one writes [REL] or REL:

What you wrote was fine Carotio. If you wanted to start a new thread just have the disclaimer in the title. Like 56k beware pic heavy. Something like that.

thanks

Word puzzle, I know, but by warning, I didn't mean a warning from you to me about the title, but a warning to those people entering the thread to look/read at the large image files.

Okay, nevermind, back to topic, now that we have Neal's approval, let's see YOUR animated images!!!

Oh no, you started it. Now I can go crazy and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!

And I'm not in a position to do animated images, so there!
