I hate it, but I need to bring it up - maybe the solution could be on my end instead, but anyone who has a sig or av with a .gif, it slows my comp down seriously, and I know that it isnt my internet (well, maybe) because I have the highspeed roadrunner at 5mbs, and my processor runs at 1.7 ghz - - - maybe it is just windows internet exploder??? I dunno, any tips, or anything we could do about being able to block them so they do nolt slow it down? I can spend all day in a thread waiting for pics to load because of one .gif loading in someones avatar.

It sucks at times, and causes my comp to freeze. Sorry!!! I hate to be THAT GUY!

Yeah, I used firefox for a while, but I had some problems with it when surfing, screen wouldnt refit itself to my screen, blah blah, then IE 7 came out and since it looked the same, I just got rid of it

no, no you can't complain. You're not allowed to.

.GIFs are so old school.

it is mostly the animated gif's that can cause it to slow down ... it isn't the internet connection ... it just has to do with your browser cache ... (and a few other things) ...

.PNG unless I'm animating stuff, then obviously I have to use .GIF.
