If you need to reduce the size of an image, you have to either make the dimensions smaller (obviously), or change the quality. If you can reduce the quality (such as with GIMP or Photoshop), you will also reduce the amount of information stored in the image...thus reducing the file size...aka kilobytes. Also, a .gif is basically several images stored in succession used to create "animation". If you had a .jpeg of the first frame in the .gif, you'd probably be easily under the kilobyte requirement.

LOOKS LIKE LOU ALSO HELPED, SO I DELETED MINE.

With the assistance of Lou I give you this!

Thanks Lou Maag! Bigtime!!!

Let's hope that it is not for real. I have almost 16000 miles in my WRX STi most of it at least 20% above the speed limit. (Sorry there LEOS : )

My plate is changing soon so it will make he harder to identify at least for you guys (RR members)

<---- My original one!
Well Back it goes:

Well, all this talk about avitars and the fact that I have a new radio being delivered this upcoming Wed. has caused me to change my avitar for the first time since back the TrunkedRadio.Net days...

I still have the old one though, just in case I get tired of looking at that new radio.

Yes, I got tired of looking at the radio.

How do you convert a JPEG to a GIF?

How do you convert a JPEG to a GIF?

Do you have Adobe - Photo Shop or similar installed in your computer ? That would be the best way to convert images.
There may be some freeware or shareware out there if you can trust it's content.

I've gotta totally agree, the file size restriction is way too small.

Dunno though, that extra 10MB might load up the server. Gotta be careful! :lol:

Its not too small if your stuck with a dialup connection.
I would love it if Lindsay got rid of all images and only allwed links to them.

Yes, dial-up users do have a problem with other users who load up giant pictures, especially when they can be sized so easily. :?

However, your proposed solution also has problems, lots of people don't have a place to store pictures to link, I am one of them, so that solution won't work either. The right answer is to limit upload size on image formats to stop the proliferation of huge pictures. I can make almost any 800x600 JPEG come in a under 150K which seems pretty reasonable IMHO.
