# that is far too big
you've been here for 4 years, 5 months and 10 days and you didn't know that?

Hello new old/stupid person. Get a read of the FAQ. Cheers.

# What the hell?
Alright Scrooge, hold your sodding horses. Regular people do make mistakes you know, unlike yourself.

# just be glad it's christmas
and some of the regulars weren't here.

i just thought that after 4 1/2 years, to post a 400k pic was a bit of a daft thing to do!

notwithstanding that...Merry Christmas!

# Like I said already
Didn't intend to post the 400k pic, I uploaded the wrong picture to my server. Thankyou for pointing it out to me. My argument was that you were being incredibly nasty about it when there was really no need for it. Was calling me stupid really necessary?

# You grumpy bar steward
MILKNOSUGAR

people like you don't deserve Christmas, go nail yourself to a cross or blow up an airliner or something, you miserable git.

It's only digital file size, it's not gonna hurt anybody or anything.

Sodding grumpy old fart.

(merry Xmas everybody)

# *sigh*
No rules were broken, I just linked to the wrong sized image. There was no need to bite my head off for it. The first guy who pointed out it was too big did it in a much nicer manner than Mr. Grumpypants over there. Tut tut tut.

# there are no rules technically you're right only guidelines
"For file size, a still image will rarely need to be over 50KB and an animation should preferably be under 200KB, but anything up to 250 KB is acceptable. Please do your best to keep filesizes as small as you can, because not everybody has access to broadband. A good joke won't be spoiled by a slightly lower quality image."
is what the FAQ says and your image is still over 100k

# Yeaaaaaaah
"rarely need to be over 50KB"

Rarely. Doesn't say it has to be 50k or under. Any smaller or any less quality and I personally think it'll take away from the image. I'm not going to sell myself out for a few people who are grumpy because Santa got them "Konami Hyper Soccer" instead of "Double Dragon 3" for their NES systems or whatever the hell you kids play these days. 100k is hardly murder is it.

Well, I put it down again and it looks shit. But, it is Christmas and me and your Father just want you to be happy.

# does this really take a lot away from the image?
it took 2 seconds
49k

Edit: and in the whole scheme of things i don't care THAT much, but it's so easy to follow the guidelines it doesn't seem worth it not to.

i do wish you a merry christmas though, did santa bring you all you wanted?

# Well...
It does look really really poo, but I do get the point. I'm just a perfectionist and like things to look good. Nothing wrong with taking pride in ones crappy photoshop jobbies at the expense of having to download a couple of extra k, is there?
(PJ, Mon 25 Dec 2006, 19:19, archived)
# i fully understand
keep striving for perfection PJ
and no a couple of k doesn't bother me

have a good christmas

# :)
Merry Christmas to you too.

And don't forget, a good way to deter burglars over the Christmas period is to throw paintcans on string at them and put micromachines at the bottom of the staircase.

# it's a streaming protocol...
which generally means there's no finite beginning, length, or end. I assume you are using RealPlayer to listen, but want to keep a copy?

# i tried that,
i have to admit i can't quite figure it out
also had a go of replay av, the stream seems to be a special, your not going to do anything nasty to this, type of affair.
i've never downloaded a stream before, i'll get it it somehow, i want to play.
it also amuses me to think people on the board open it and get to look at her maj and this all at the same time.
