here is a quick test ive done of a few Spitfire XIV images turned into an animated gif
much can be done using animated gifs including mini movies - they are good coz they go straight into forum area -

ive done them in 3 sizes the first being 800x600 & the 2nd 640x480 & 3rd 512x384 just to show you the load time differences

Reaper this would make the ideal way to present your Video's ect (instead of that butt ugly face lol :lol: ) If you need a good gif animator i can upload it to you. you could make create a nice short clip of your video & then convert it to gif animator where you could resample it to smaller res ect. also make them clickable.

best to make them about 800x600 max for slide shows like this & 640x480 or much less for movies

Joking... It's nice, and it loaded pretty quickly for me

i wish i was as witty as you :wink: :lol:
well thats good specht - although id be amazed if that top gif loads fast on your setup?

how did you get that top huge gif to go just as fast as the small one, it loads fast and no waiting for pictures to turn around

ok try not to get confused with load time & cached , because what seems like fast load time is actually the gif cached on your pc - best thing to do for this test is delete your tempory internet cache with crap cleaner & then reload this thread & see how long the big picture takes to load for the first time. Once a gif has loaded no matter how big it will be fast the next time you view it as long as you dont clear the internet cache on your pc - i think the best thing is to find a good middle ground between big image & fast first time load. There is actually a way to 'pre load' gifs with some code, which would be useful for movies maybe?

cleared the cache, tried it again and not much of a speed difference. it loaded up, took fraction longer, for the picture to change. still good
