Framar
WOW Framer
I have been thinking about this topic for a while now, especially whilst waiting for threads to load on my maddenly slow computer set-up. When framer mentioned about checking into board bandwidth constraints on the Avatar thread, I thought I'd do an informal poll.
Is anyone else sitting and twiddling their thumbs like me waiting for long threads with all those same pictures over and over again to load?? I love all this new techie stuff as much as the next person, and I sure hope I don't get my head bitten off for this opinion, but I am bored to pieces with both Avatars and signatures and signature pictures!! I am a read-a-holic! I have to read EVERYTHING!!! Over and over, I can't stop myself.
There is a feature in our local art/music/porno rag (you know the type) where they come up with a series of questions on a different subject every week, then hit the streets and ask the same question of a bunch of people. THEN they print not only the answers, but the same four or five questions over and over again!!! It drives me crazy!!! Are people so afflicted with ADD that they cannot remember what the questions were??
So, my fellow grumblers, am I alone here, being a curmudgeon with a cheap old computer, or do some of you secretly harbor the same burning questions about graphics??
I like it when the red X thing or a link thing works and takes you to a picture IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT. This way, I can see a picture once, know what it is, and not have to wait and wait and wait.
And what I do not understand also is this: if there is a space or word limit on our business description and our hobbies in the profile, why isn't there a limit on signatures?? I think if there were a limit imposed, it would force us all to become even more creative than we are already forced to be by our dear customers.
Ok, I will climb down from my soapbox now.
