Hmm. Maybe I gave it a bit too much exaggeration. But I've had good and bad luck with resizing and different image formats.

In the future, I'll resize them before I put them on Photobucket, since that is where I put the radar images I capture.

Or maybe even just links to the images, as opposed to embedding?

Might just do thumbnails (if I remember correctly, that is possible.).

Please remember that some of us have only dialup and/or limited bandwidth.   Links work as good as pictures, especially when the pictures are half a meg each.  Excessive pictures makes reading this forum prohibitive for some of us.

Thanks  :)

You know, I'm a little curious. Do the posted SPC images slow you down as well? Example:

I show it as 18 kb size.  That's not bad, but if several people include the picture in their quote, it adds up.
