    Please Mr Alien Sir
    Could you make this my avatar..
    <IMG SRC="http://www.clubbers.ws/images/avatar.gif" border=0>

    It is only 535 bytes, half the size of yours which is 1109 bytes.... did you want me to size down some of your images at som,e point, they don't seem to be 100% optimised.

    This is how compressed your one could be for example:
    <IMG SRC="http://www.clubbers.ws/images/snowman.gif" border=0>
    347 bytes

    Heya. .

    As small as that is, no animated avatars are permitted at this time. So you may want to remove the animation, then it's no problem.

    As for tweaking the avatars, that's a good thing to add to my to-do list. I've tweaked alot of graphics, but all avatars and some icons I forgot to do.

    Good call!

    We limit animations to message icons only.

    Too busy, and too much of an eyesore.

    Okay, all available avatars optimized.

    Should reduce load time by a couple of seconds per new thread page load for the 56k'ers. .

    Broadband users won't notice a difference.

    Dozens of various images and icons have also been reduced around the site. This includes icons found in Ultimate.cgi, forumdisplay.cgi, ubb_library2.pl, and postings.cgi

    Message icons will be next...
