Definitly. I used to have a big Multimark in my sig, but took it out after a day or so because it was so big, and I didn't want to be inconsiderate. I do enjoy those pics, however looking at them EVERY time gets annoying.

I agree with you entirely in this matter, I have very little time to go through the threads and when it takes minutes to load one page it decreases the time I have to read and respond.

Hello Crew,

Amigos, don't let this thread rub any of you negatively as this is not the intent. But, quite a number of you have either large photographs or multiple photos in your signatures that always appear in every post you make.

The photos are nice but problem is that guys like me, that can only afford the slow dial-up internet services, wind up waiting an incredibly long time whenever clicking on a thread that contains posts from several forum members with large photos accompanying the signature.

On one popular thread I waited a full 5 minutes for it to open up. I wondered why it took so long......then I saw that 3 of the posters had huge photos. [:0][:(]

It's never a problem with the smaller photos or even the long rectangular photos that are about two inches high.

Gentlemen, it's entirely up to you. Again, your photos are beautiful but please consider replacing them with smaller photos. [;)][8)]

Thanks so much!

God Bless and enjoy the forum
