Hi all,
    Today while looking thru the thumbnails, I was reminded once again of something I have wanted to suggest for some time.  Although it doesn't occur a lot, on occassion, various images are posted which are not jpgs but are gifs or some similiar animated image format. For those using a dial-up internet connection,  the load time for these type images is extended. I have almost missed seeing a number of these images because there is no notification information on the thumbnail telling me an image is animated and before the animation is loaded I am off to the next page of thumbnails.  Is there a way to add "animation" to the content advisory?  In my opinion that could be helpful to many .

   While on the subject of adding usefull info, there is another suggestion/request which I have along those lines. At the top of each page is a line of print which indicates: "Welcome user, date, time,  and number of artists currently online". From what I can tell, the number of artists on-line is a total for all gallerys. It would be interesting and potentially useful if this number could reflect those visiting the individual galleries instead of the entire site (i.e. - when looking at 'All Thats New' - the number may be 1700 but when looking at 'All Thats New in the Photography Gallery' the number would obviously be noticably less.

   Just some ideas for consideration.
