Recently I have encountered quite a number of signatures with pictures that are way over the recommended width of 200 pixels.  Usually when I come across one I take the time to resize the image and modify the signature for the individual.  But there have been so many lately that I haven't been able to make all the changes.  Instead I've been simply modifying the signature changing the large picture to a clickable link.
 
So if your signature is one I've modified recently I apologize for only doing half the change I usually do.  If you know you have a large picture in your signature please make the modifications yourself to either add a smaller version as a hot link to the larger one or simply change the large picture to a clickable link.  There are several threads with "how to" steps so I'm not going to repeat them again.  Search them out, try making the changes and see how it goes.  If you need any help please feel free to drop me an e-mail, PM or IM and I'll be happy to assist you.
 
Please don't get me wrong, I love to see all the pictures of our cars just like everyone else.  But being one of the folks who does not have a high speed internet connection at home a lot of my browsing time is spent waiting for large pictures to come across the wire.  That time could be better spent doing more productive things than watching a page load.
 
Thanks!

Curious for sure.  Your top image shows up as 160x108 and the bottom one shows up at 150x100.  I don't know what to make of that.

But the good news is WE CAN SEE THEM...!!!  Thumbs%20Up  Clap  Thumbs%20Up  Clap  Thumbs%20Up  Clap  Thumbs%20Up
