Hi guys,
not my place of course, but rather than putting 56k warnings why not post smaller photos, or if there are loads, link to a gallery or index page. Its annoying if you are trying to scroll down and the page keeps jumping as another image loads, and must be hell for those who are still on dial up.
Most people here have photoshop and can resize and compress their images. Please use it!

Being on 56k myself (only use internet at weekend), I've started turning my images off or only loading each image as I want to view it. It just takes too long to load a page of images and it stops the rest of the page loading. But I do understand im in the minority here though

Personally I love a page of full size images! (hence I hate the PH re-sizer, maybe Ted could code it to resize dynamically, depending on the viewers resolution as I think it limits at 650 pixels wide which looks a tad small on my 1600 pixel wide display.)
But then I am rather lazy and clicking on thumbnails is a pain I don't usually bother to endure.

Which is all very well if you have a gallery / website to show your pics. The 56k warning is there for that very reason, and personally I like seeing the page of pics - just open the thread in a seprate windows, wait for load, then browse till your hearts content. FWIW I already resize all my images to 750 pixels max length to avoid the dreaded PH compression.
So you can expect & look forward to more 56k warnings from me in the future
