Hope that's not how long you have to wait for your stats, it's dated 2 months ago...

A Hun listing, YAWN, what load, I don't see a problem...

Get a dedicated server, then you won't have to worry about image size, I post 100k images on TGP's, No Worry...

Now Mike, why did you go and post something simple and helpful fully knowing that you'd get around 90% of the GFYers bashing you??? This board is the opposite of "if you can't say something nice..." =>

sigh. no. the code was modified to optimize all user submitted images. the post was just a friendly reminder at how much it can save people.

maybe you'd prefer people posting lyrics or other items that have absolutely nothing to do with the internet, adult webmastering, etc... but little tidbits like this can prove useful to some. the fact that i posted a graphic to show proof makes it more interesting than just saying "u guyz should optimize ur images lol i saved lotz $$$ on my last billz!!!" - here i have proof.

so kiss my ass. don't hate just to be a jerk.

That stats image you posted is 23016 bytes! It's only like 6 colors! Don't you know that image optimization for images like these are best done in .gif format?

i didn't expect to have so many jerks on my case. apparently in my absence a lot of people signed up and still have lower post counts and are more "newb" than i am yet think they pull some sort of seniority because they haven't seen my name on every other post the past few months.

i could give a shit about them. everyone knows this board has more ego than anna nicole has fat. i've been known to contribute dipshit comments myself.

before size was stock from user uploads. some images could have been anywhere up to 600-800k. nowadays the largest images are probably in the 60k range. another change was starting to use thumbnails where appropriate (earlier versions just scaled down the image using html... out of laziness) so now everything's done properly.

if i was buying bandwidth by the meg, i could have saved a few hundred a month easily.
