Ummmm......Ie ver 5 i think. I know its yours becuase it only happens when your avatar is on the screen but when i scroll down the slowdown stops. No big problem tho:)

Upgrade to IE6. If you\'re running Windows Me, upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP.

nope, ive tried that.....not because of the avatar thing just becuase i wanted to upgrade, but the avatar problem remained and i had several other problems so i went back to IE5. thanks for the advice anyway tho.:)

You\'re welcome. :)
Another suggestion: Stop animations from playing when you download a webpage. Open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, and look under the Multimedia header. Remove the check from the box next to \'Play Animations.\'
Something else I\'d suggest: Emptying the cache and the Temp folders.

You\'re welcome.:) $20 says you\'re on a dialup connection. Here\'s a site that might help you maximize your connection speed (http://theboost.net/tweak/modem_connection.htm)

So did I for the longest while but then I got BB.:D

Go download Opera6, that browers is the best, IMO. I think IE sucks... it freezes so much when visiting websites and stuff.
-

-

you wanna give me that 20 bucks now?:p
Im on BB, i dont think the slow down has to do with my connection but with my actual computer\'s power.

This doesn\'t have anything to do with animated gifs or what browser version you\'re using. It happens because Luckee\'s avatar is over 270k in size, and slow dialup connections choke on it. I sent him a smaller optimized version of the same animation a while back but he didn\'t change it. Maybe he doesn\'t have access to the webserver where the pic is hosted. I dunno.
-
maybe it\'s the fact that this is a 268kb .gif file when the max size for avatars around here is 100kb IIRC.
:p

Get a faster computer, or better yet build one yourself. I\'m running a couple of homebuilt boxes (I\'m in the process of upgrading the other one at the moment.)
The only OEM system I\'d consider buying is an Apple.
-
I think he should get rid of it all together and just put a hot chick up as an avatar. That\'s all I know luckee for anyway. Screw cars.
-
yeah, his av could use a little more pussy...
-
Certain browsers will handle .gifs differently. There\'s like a .gif with a 0 delay in its animation time and it makes the animation really fast. luckee\'s used to do that on mine.
