File size was set to 100k for the dialup users. I've noticed that images which are 800x600 tend to degrade a lot below 100k. If we went to 120k, that fixes a lot of concern in this area. So what do the dialup members think about this? Is 120k too much? Should we allow larger? Was 100k too much? Should we go to 640x480 and 100k to avoid the degredation? I'm inclined to go with 800x600 max and 120k max, but would love to hear from the phone modem folks.

I'm on dial up and I have no problem with 800X600 or 120K file size :)

Would 150k be ok? I have a 100 Mbps dsl so I can't tell. How large a size is bothersome?

Is this about how long it takes to see all the images? I would go 800x600 at 150k or the same as posting here which is 200k I think. I'm on a slow dailup, but I hate pixilated renders even more.

Well, I use a cable modem but the speed is capped at 64k (don't ask!). Slightly better than dial up, but not by much. 150K doesn't take too long to d/l...I also prefer the slow download over poor image quality.

I probably have the worst dial up speed on 'osity- and I don't have any problem with gallery images that are under the 500 k limit. Often too much detail is lost at 800600, I perfer 1024768 myself, but what do I know :) lol- 2.6 kb/sec is a good connection for me :( god I hate being out in the sticks Geo

I find that if a thread has more than fifteen or so biggish images the download times out for the later ones, so I should think 150K would be fine.
