IMG tags in signatures slowing down page loads?

[Ryanwb]

My computer at work and at home have recently started experiencing the same issues as other have described when you scroll down certain threads the page seems to distort and is slow to load. I noticed this especially when people have images in their signatures.

I downloaded a thread that had a ton of people with IMGs in their signatures and the loaded into Dreamweaver. The load time for a 56k modem was 9.3 seconds....that is terrible.

I am on a cable modem and am experiencing issues.....maybe we could ask people to cool it on the images in the sigs?

This isn't really my area of expertise, but this is really getting annoying

Yeah, they are a little too much I think.

I run cable internet and I have never had a problem. Personally, I'd like to keep my image. However, if the board decides to dump them then I'll get rid of mine too.
