Can I complain about .gif ??

Post by kc2005ptgt » Thu Mar 29, 2007 12:35 am

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 :(

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.
