Yeah, adding a 400kB anim to complain about file size really helps things a lot;)

I think my comment was perhaps ambiguous.I said "image size" referring to the really big picture - not "file size" implying it didn't meet the FAQ because it was over 100k

there's no limit on dimensions in the FAQ"as far as pixel size goes there is no real limit"
KB is more specific "50k has always been a good target for a still image, but anything up to 100KB is acceptable. Likewise, animated gifs should be kept as small as possible, but never exceed 400 KB"
I could point out that your FAQ anim really could be optimized better ;)

Well I live and learn - I always thought images had to be no bigger than 400 pixels wideI will have Morph fist-ram a copy of the FAQs down my throat.
Also, I am useless at optimising images so any help you can render would be genuinely appreciated. :)

400 wide is the front page width(yes bigger will work but it makes the front page look like its set up by a lazy web monkey)
Optimizing, other than finding a good automated tool (I use Animation Shop, a discontinued free gif tool from Jasc, now Corel) try doing things like copying all the static area from one frame across all the others to avoid background noise.

Cheers HappyToast....I am beginning to do that with some of the newer gifs I'm making (learned through trial and error in photoshop).
I've never used any other programs before but I'd love to have an automated tool to do the heavy lifting. At the minute I can't really do anything bigger than 30-50 frames lest the gif becomes unintelligible following optimisation.

Ironically though, I don't think there's anything in the FAQ about the physical stupendousness of imagesbut very big pics can be annoying, it's true
