Wow, that's a lot of data for an empty thread; definately a very large amount of overhead for every page! If it's graphics, look at using ProJPEG or PhotoGIF, these can drastically improve compression rates w/o suffering image quality.

Speaking of that; I noticed when I went to upload some JPEGs to my photo album on this site that they tripled in size! No idea if the sizes given are incorrect or if the site decompressed and inefficiently recompressed them or what, but if the new sizes are what gets served, it could be very helpful to serve them in their untouched format (or only recompress them if it saves size)

 

We all use Linux or Windows here, apple-boy

I would have to go with the majority here, and say that some people have signatures that are way to long. That is why I try and keep mine short and sweet, even if I have DSL at home, and T1 line at work.

is everyone talking about me
HEHEHEHEHEH

SORRY, i will reduce the image size

 

4ig has got his down to a mere 29,645 bytes - a major improvement over what he's had before.

 

but the best thing is that it doesn't go off the edges of the screen, so no scrolling necessary

 

amen

call me old school, but i still say it's three lines of text or less or it's a waste of resources.

 

HEHHEH
