[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 95599"] As some of you may have noticed I've recently been working to speed up the page loads on this forum. This has been accomplished by moving to an upgraded server and streamlining the way that our pages are sent to your browser. Images hosted remotely on other web sites create an additional DNS lookup every time a page is loaded and this can slow the site down for everyone. It is for that reason that [i]new[/i] images from outside domains will no longer be able to be displayed in signatures or as avatars. As always you are welcome to upload your own custom graphics to our server to use as your avatar. You can also use any of our existing smilies in your signature by pasting in the bbcode for the image. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Cheryl by the way, if there's an avatar that you really want to use and you can't quite figure out the upload thing I'll be happy to upload it for you. Just send me a pm with a link to the avatar you want to use... [/QUOTE]
