If you guys are going to be posting pages full of images, you really need to work on image compression and resizing.

Images in Post 134 above total almost 4Mb

Total page weight is closer to 10Mb, maybe over.  I've seen downloadable programs that are lighter weight.

As far as I can see, there is NO reason at all to post any image that is .png, in fact, I'd like to see the board limited to  .jpg and .gif only.

Nor is there any reason to post any image over 100Kb, preferably they should be less than 75K.



Sorry about that... I have not had dial up in about 7 years and have forgot how hard it is to view large items . Does making them thumbnails make it better?

Okay. In the interest of a few of us who have limited bandwidth, less-than-ideal internet connections or what have you, I have converted all of my radar screenshots to thumbnails. However, they still remain as .png because they are on Photobucket and I refuse to remove all of them in the interest of re-uploading them as .jpg.

However, there are still a few posts in this thread that still require bandwidth.


Please remember in the future if you're going to post in this thread to

1) Post a link or a thumbnail.

2) Upload as a .jpg (JPEG).


Chris


Speaking of GRLevel3 specifically, why is .png the only option under saving images?

Here is a shot I took with GR3 Program. Very good program worth every penny, Iam gonna buy it before summer thunderstorm action begins.

No doubt about that!  I was one of the beta testers before GR3 was ever available to the public.  Except for vacations and stuff, I don't believe a day has gone by that I didn't have GR3 running on one of my PCs.  I also own GR2, but barely ever use it.  It's an outstanding investment.

Here are a couple from over the weekend and Monday...

The 3rd 4th and 5th show a hail core starting at 25-35K feet and then falling to the ground.. The last is a hail core of 70dbz or more.. There was golf ball sized hail reported with that core.

I think I'll be posting here a lot with my new toy! :grin:

These are 4 radar picks from Pueblo, CO

The top left is base reflectivity 0.5 degrees, with a slight comma hook echo forming, prompting a tornado warning, the top right is storm relative velocity 0.5 degrees, where there is a combining of light inflow and outflow winds, the bottom right is VIL, and these extremely high readings covering a lot of ground indicates very large hail (That triangle on there is reading 3" hail!), and the bottom left is echo tops, indicating that precipitation is occurring at 45K feet.
