Ozidave Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 This post may not seem 'fair' to the 56k modem users, but it is worth the effort to visit Worth a 1000 words? and have a look at some of the entries posted there.I've pinned a few samples here.

Jeber Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Ozi, you did it just right. What makes our dial-up Highlanders crazy are images, especially big ones, included in the post. By linking to them, you've retained good page load times, and still given the option to anyone to see them if they wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Besides, the pictures were great. I needed a good laugh today.Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozidave Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Jeber, Yes, it must be a pain at times for the 56k'ers or those on limited access/down-load allowance to be confronted with no choice as to how they wish to use it at times. That's why I though this thread up. We all need a laugh to keep our sanity in balance and I feel for the 56k'ers when they enter a site like 1000words and never get to see a lot of what's there because of their speed etc. At least they can share in what you, I and others here think is funny to grotesque, without the need to sift through the 1000's of mediocre pics that are just so-so or run-of-the-mill. You, yourself have a terrific sense of humour, I just try my best. That's why I try to pick on the pic's that everyone will get something out of. I would hate to see this thread run to ordinary-type pics. So humour is the flavour of the day! If it's broke don't fix it! buy a new one, it's a 100% less of a problem and 100% quicker to fix, if it's expensive.....Fix it! it's about 300% cheaper.

Cluttermagnet Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Great thread! The pix are funny. I'm always looking for a good belly laugh to break the tension. Life has enough hassles. "Send in the clowns". I'm still on dialup. Probably will hold fast for the forseeable future. I don't like flash because it is huge, klunky, and of course slow loading for me. A very few are brilliantly well done. The rest are worthless dreck. Spare me. I'm neutral in the big 'webstyle debate', but graphics are still important. The old 'thousand words' addage is ever true. Balance in all things, balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebone Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 EDIT: Per user request. Please note that the sites linked to herein place multiple pictures on a page and will load quite slowly if you are not on broadband.Posters for movies that were miscastI think it was here (SFNL) that the following were originally posted (By Jeber, if I'm not mistaken):BeannibalGrumpy Old Men in...Scroll down that last for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Pooh" which was also in the original link.

Ozidave Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hi Littlebone,It would be nice if you break the pic's into singles rather than load the whole string of them, else a lot of the 56k'ers are not going to appreciate the effort you made to get them.

littlebone Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Ozi:Sorry, those aren't my sites, but I will add a note that the links are to sites with a lot of pictures on a single page.

georgeg4 Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 This thread gives me an idea . On a different forum I belong to we have a separate thread for members to post links to pictures of interest for others to see . Maybe the moderators will install one for us here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozidave Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 8/8/2004 - IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE WORTH1000 TEAMThere has always been restrictions on this site, some you have to agree that you are over a certain age etc, and some are restricted until you sign up..... And I 'have' seen up to around 700 users at one time (so 'they' indicate) on line.I never sign in to select pics that are available 'only' for members, so if any of the pics here are affected, please let us know and something can be done to remove the URL's, bit pointless visiting just to see the 'home' page.
