Sasha, sorry... I see all the pages but forget the 'comments'  :-[
Thank you very much. avast has your skin, forum has your face  8)

Post by: S.Z.Craftec on November 04, 2004, 12:26:20 PM
Hihihi, it's Ok Technical... no problems at all. Anyway, this is just another off-topic. Not so important like other threads, antivirus and security related.

I just wanted everybody to see, how many avatars came out of my drawing tools... so many different avatars... I also have few more, but those people already left the forum, so no point in showing those... I'm not even sure are they still on my HD.

Cheers !

Very nice avatars, you are pretty dedicated to make all those... or very bored :P

EDIT: Spelling  ;)
Title: Re:..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: S.Z.Craftec on December 15, 2004, 10:48:22 PM
Very board ? I'm sorry, but I didn't catch this one... what does that mean ?

If you meant, BORED, no I'm not bored at all. I have my regular job which takes 98 % of my spare time, second most important thing is my family, then the rest of my spare time, I make these little avatars and skins for avast!, and also I'm giving my best to help new avast! users in these forums. I am not bored, it's just I like my friends and if I can make them happy somehow, I'll do that right away...

Making avatars doesn't take serious amount of time. Any of those avatars in this galery, even those most complex animated ones, I can do in about 10-15 minutes... It's natural, that I have such a huge collection, I'm here very very long period of time...
Title: Re:..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: darkparrot on December 15, 2004, 11:04:04 PM
Forgive my misspelling.

I did not mean for my past comment to be received as hostile.
Title: Re:..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: S.Z.Craftec on December 15, 2004, 11:12:52 PM
No need to appologize my friend... it's just I didn't know what you meant by saying "board"...

and... I'm glad you like these little pictures. That's nothing big, nothing huge or life-important, but I like to spend some time making them, because when I see that people like to use them and those little pictures make them so happy, it makes me even happier than they are...  ;D
Title: Re:..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: S.Z.Craftec on December 17, 2004, 12:09:06 PM
Another one in collection... for David... even I don't know who he is, hehe  ;D Max asked me to make it for his friend, so I did it... it would be great if I get request directly from person who needs it, but hey... it's OK... anyway, I'm not bitting  ;D

Bob, I hope you don't mind, I made a little change on your page... I just moved universal avatar little bit lover and placed it in line with avast! banner. This way it doesn't break the form...

This was before I made that little almost unnoticeable change...

Thanks.    Why would I mind??? It's always nice when a smart person helps a dummy. ;D
Title: Re:..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: S.Z.Craftec on December 18, 2004, 05:22:04 AM
You're not a dummy. I was making same mistakes when I just started to play in html. Actually, it's not mistake, but rather, you are paying attention to other things while you are constructing your html page, and not paying to much attention on form of the paragraphs, pictures, and animations...

You'll get used to it, just wait... one day, you'll start noticing more and more things, and you'll say: "...oh, why did I do this like that, and not like this ? This is much better and easier way..."

Cheers !

nice work!! by the way you sure have been active lately! ;D but it all pays off because all the people on these forums like your avators. grahpics and stuff you Make!
Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on April 10, 2005, 03:22:56 PM
Haha Ricky... thanks for your opinion, but I have to say... no all people like what I do. It's always like that, and we have to live with that I guess... as long as there are people like you and many other friends in these forums, that appreciates and like what I do, I am happy and I have great reason to go on and make even better things... at least to try to make better things. I am not sure am I succeeding in that or not, but sure I am trying...

Thanks again !

Thank you Athene !

And I am so greatful because your mother was my great friend, sure it was greatest pleasure knowing her. Such a spirit, such a persona... wonderful lady in every way. Even when she was fighting with her illness, her chin was up... I've learned a lot from her, I'm always going to be thankful for that.

Avatars are just small pictures, but if they can make people happy, I'm glad I can help at least somehow...

Thanks again !
Regards !
Sasha

Hehe, thanks Bob... actually, none of those two falls into avatar cathegory, but while we are here, what the heck... first one is icon in 3 sizes (48x48, 32x32 and 16x16 pixels), and the other one is something like clickable banner for your web site... I'm glad you like them Bob  :)

Here is screenshot from Icon maker (without that annoying black background box color):

Can members of the forum use these avatars please??
Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on May 20, 2005, 12:39:06 PM
All these avatars are made for forum members... most of them already have a name and they are made specifically for some of those forum members whose name they "wear". You can always chose one of those universal avatars I posted (avast! thematic) or... I could make one for you if you want... custom one... it will just take few days since I'm in the middle of one very huge WEB/Flash project.

Craftec you are becoming a real Avast Avatar Legend, Vlk should give you a free 3yrs register of Avast Pro and 3yrs free register of AvastBARD CD.

For all your great art work! and you should be King of Avast!

Keep up your great work and please don't stop creating, and remember to spend a bit more time with your wife away from the computer ;).

Thank you SpeedyPC, you are very kind and your words are also very kind my friend.... however, I don't expect anything from anyone in return nor I ever even asked for anything... I do this because I love my forum friends and if I can help even with those small unnoticeable avatars, it makes me unbelievable happy. Especially when I see someone like you, appreciates my work that much, it makes me even happier.

Thanks for your kind words !

All my work, all skins (graphic parts) and all avatars I did in Macromedia Fireworks. Program is not specifically meant for making animated gifs, but with few tricks, I can make whatever I imagine. Of course, for all 3D work I use bunch of other programs like Swish3D, Poser, 3D studio and some others... You can never make everything with just one program. Each opne is made specifiaclly for some specific area, and you have to play with others to achive some other effects... import things in, export things out etc.

Macromedia Fireworks was specifically made as an bitmap formats optimising tool for web design (which is btw my field), but if you play enough with it, as I already mentioned earlier in my reply, there is no limit in what you can achieve.  ;)

Hi Sasha how are you, keeping well I hope, ;D I want to make your work stand out on the site I am a Moderator on, their is no rush on this just I like the avatar you done for me, but  I was wondering if you could do one with the avast ball spinning, with my name again on the top but turning as well, and on the bottom the same as before but again with Avast  Simply The Best Better Than All The Rest turning as well. leave it up to you how you do it, and how long it takes only I am going to show your work  off big time. ;D

I'm sorry but lack of free time is killing me right now. So many requests, and most important my primary job, and my two spare jobs (WEB/Flash design, and helping in one printing company) are taking up so much of my time, it's unbelievable.

Anyway, it's not like you don't have an avatar Don... it's a brand new, hehe  ;D Maybe next month...

Post by: szc on October 22, 2005, 01:16:46 AM
Ondrej, thanky you so much for moving this thread from closed off-topic forum to General Topics forum. Thank you I really appreciate it.

I know this is not quite General Topics stuff, but since there was so  much work involved it would be a waste to lose it in closed forum. This way I can post all new avatars for new forum members (or old ones as well) and not poluting other parts of the forum.

This was just my good will to help people even when it comes to these small not-so-important avatars... but sure, many will agree that they helped many members feel kind of accepted by us, older forum members and forum regulars. At least that's what I'm getting on my PMs every single day. I am happy if I can make at least one person per day happy... then my job is done  ;)

Well, we can continue to post in here, and whenever there is some new avatar for some forum member, I'll post it in here... so people will not have to search through all forums wasting their precious time...

Cheers !

P.S. Vlk, you're the man !  ;)

He didn't ask for anything, but I just thought his own avatar needed some refreshment...       That was one of my earliest avatars, and it wasn't that good... this looks much better I believe.

I just hope Peter will like it as well...

I see you already got yourself an AOL avatar, so I guess you're covered... however, AOL copyrights all it's signs/trademarks as well. The only registered/copyrighted logo/trademark I'm dealing with in this forum is anything that has anything do do with avast! antivirus.

Haha... c'mon people... I'm doing that when I catch some free time, it's not like I am some kind of wizzard... it's just, I like to play in those drawing tools, and btw I practice myself a lot this way.

Anyway, thanks for your opinion people, I really appreciate everything and it really makes me happy when I see other people appreciate my work.

Cheers !

Thanks Sasha. You rule on graphics!  8)

Sure. Good work needs recognition. Your graphics make the forum happier, help recognition of whom we're talking to. They talk about how you work, how you make things good  8)

WOW so many great avatars here but i noticed nobody made an avatar for you Sasha(that's probaby because they we are a little intimidated by your talent hihi  ;D ). But i don't care if i suck at this you deserve a special avatar made by someone else for a change so here it is(you can consider this a birthday gift if you want)

200x150 is kind of too large for this forum rules... we use 100x100 pixels avatars or smaller. There are some rules in forum policy about that...

No I don't use any third party software to have those themes on my Windows XP machine, I simply applied UXTHEME.dll patch and I can use some other mssstyles. The circle in the middle is a program called Orbit and it's just some third party add-on for Windows. I already posted some info as well as download links here in forum, can't recall where though... in Off-topic forum I believe...

Regaring the avatars, I was doing that before while I had some free time on my hands, but unfortunatelly I am so busy now that I simply can not manage everything. I recently started to work for a huge corporation as a flash developer, working on 3 different projects (unbelievable huge) in the same time, trying to help sometimes in this forum, and working on complete redesing of a wonderful mail checking application POP Peeper. Besides all those things, there comes my family, all those little and big things around the house etc...

If I catch some free time I will try to do something, but can't promise anything.

Cheers !

Edit: as far as Gmail icon goes, where did you find that link that's not working anymore ? I can't find it... if you show me, I will try to update it... ;)

Hey,

I mean I want the 200 x 150 thumbnail picture for my website I'm still making (It's just a picture that link to this other link and then there is other pictures that link to other link etc etc... This is my computing assignment for my school.) But yea if you can't then that's ok ;)

Here is the link for "Gmail desktop icons... for anyone who needs them":
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=15849.0

And this is the link to download the icon but not working:
http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=1316182

This is the gmail icon I really like and hoping I can get  ;D:

Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on March 02, 2006, 01:23:33 PM
The old download link doesn't work because after some time they remove those files from their server. It was working while that thread was still active.

Anyway, here is a new zip file with 2 icons inside and the ReadMe.txt file (please read it regarding the terms of use).

http://www.savefile.com/files/1856486
(Just click on the orange Download button)

As for your thumbnail, I have to say I have no clue what needs to be done on it, since I see it is already 200x150 pixels large... I just don't know what do you mean with "thumbnail for the website". It is already resized to desired size, and it can be used as a thumbnail right away... maybe I'm missing something.

Cheers !

hi henryjl,

I use a small utility to re-size pictures. It is called Image Resizer and can be found here:

http://www.imageresizer.com/

It will do a batch or one at a time plus convertions from one format to another.

I hope this helps you.    :)

Hey,

Thanks for the link Charley0.

S.Z.Craftec sorry if I can't explain things properly ^_^ but the 200 x 150 picture is not a thumbnail sorry.
150 x 112 is a thumbnail picture according to imageshack.us.

Um... but what I was trying to say in all those confusing threads was could you make something out of this picture here. (http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/6018/5bsmall5d5banimepaper5dwallpap.jpg)
e.g Make the picture fade away and then a name comes in saying "Henry" or something like that?

Hope this made sense  :-\


Thanks,

Henry
Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on March 04, 2006, 11:17:27 PM
Sorry but imageshack is not the one who invented thumbnail term, so they can not be the one who makes rules what's the size of the thumbnail ;)

This is just one of the thumbnail definitions:

http://webclipart.about.com/cs/msubh7a/g/thmnail.htm

So, as it says, thumnails are just smaller pictures that represents original picture which is larger. If someone wants to represent something that's in original state 1024x768 pixels large, one can do it in many ways... so for example, you can do it with 100 pixels (horizontal) thumbnail like this:

(http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4287/zfriendsforever14yz.jpg) (http://img202.imageshack.us/my.php?image=szcfriendsforever2qy.jpg)

or with 300 pixels one:

(http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/6258/zfriendsforever20kb.jpg) (http://img202.imageshack.us/my.php?image=szcfriendsforever2qy.jpg)

or even if you like with 40 pixels one:

(http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/5383/zfriendsforever31uk.jpg) (http://img202.imageshack.us/my.php?image=szcfriendsforever2qy.jpg)

I guess imageshack has their own standard ... which is why I suggested Image Resizer so that Henry could make the "required size" thumbnails himself.    :)

Post by: szc on March 05, 2006, 12:04:38 AM
Here is your avatar Henry... I am still not sure if that is what you were looking for, but it's 100 pixels (horizontal) which is also some kind of non-writen forum rule when it comes to avatar size. Here it is:

(http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5601/avatarhenry8rj.gif)

And just in case, you need your name logo (larger), you can take it from here:

(http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/748/untitled13cy.png)

It's a PNG file format with alpha channel (transparent background)... so you can load it into Photoshop or any other tool that deals with PNGs with Alpha channels and "stick" it to any picture you want...

Have a good one Henry !

Here is one I just did for all COMODO lovers out there...

Note: animation is pretty slow in IE6 since IE rendering engine doesn't deal too good with animated GIFs as well as with PNGs. If you want to see it in normal speed, take a look at it from within Firefox.

Here it is:

Can you make another avatar for me when you have time? No  bigger than 100 pixels by 100 pixels in size and no larger than 30 KB, something like boxes with letters moving or whatever....Just make something simple and beautiful when you have time  ::)

Cheers!

Sorry it's really difficult to make something under 30 Kb and to be colorful and animated in the same time... animated gifs like that always take a little bit more memory.

Hi Sasha  :)

If you can make some small avatar under 30 kb and it doesnt have to be colorful or animated, it's ok. Anyway if you dont have time, you dont have to make it, i can live without avatar and also is not for this forum so it's not something very important to me ok ;)

Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on September 19, 2006, 09:54:01 PM
@Snowhite - this is your avatar for some other forum. It is 29,890 Kb, and it is 100x100 pixels... so I believe it's inside those boundaries.

(http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/6726/szcsnowhite2ua7.gif)

I tried playing with separate boxes for each letter, but since there is quite a number of letters, it would require a lot of frames. A lot of frames = large animation, large file size. So that was out of question... this way I managed to create a 3D animation and it's still below 30 Kb. Hope you like it.

@Ylap - Hello my friend ! Well, what can I say... they are not that "shiny" as you say. I also see a lot of artifacts around edges. That is obvious when you use more than 2 or 3 color paletes (for example, you have a lot of orange shades, blue shades and green shades and all of them inside the same picture. Gifs can hold only 256 color palete and not a single color shade more. So if you want to get those blue shadings nice and smooth, you'll get them becase Gif will calculate nice and smooth transitions between all blue shades. If you want it to be super smooth, you will have to use at least 128 color shades... that leaves you with rest of 128 color shades to the above mentioned total of 256... if you have two more colors like in this example I'm talking about, green and orange... it means, you will be able to use 64 color shades for each color. You know that 64 gradients will look much uglier than 128 or 256. Or you can give your green color 96 shades and that will leave you with only 32 for he orange palette. I believe that's exactly what happened to your avatar.

If you ask me, do not be concerned about that... it is totally not important since all your avatars look good whether they are 256 colors avatars or just 32 colors pictures.

Hello again Sasha!  ;) Just folowed your advices, and made new avatar, which looks better now. I set background picture (the blue one) to the 128 colours before I've used it for gif, so, as you said other 128 colours were left for monitor and green ticks  ;D Thanks again for your advices  ;) Your the best  ;D

szc,

I see that you do a great job on making Avatars for the members here on the Forums. I would like one as well but what do I need in order for you to do so? Any Info. needed?

Well, if any Info. is needed my Fav. program is Maxthon which is a Browser and my fav. CPU is the AMD Athlon Xp based Processor. If you want a turn around you could do something with a AMD Logo and a Avast! Logo but IDK. Can you come up with something for me ???

Here it is... little bit dark-styled. Don't know if you like it or not, but you will have to go with it anyway, because I'm really tight with free time right now...

Cheers !

I tried playing with separate boxes for each letter, but since there is quite a number of letters, it would require a lot of frames. A lot of frames = large animation, large file size. So that was out of question... this way I managed to create a 3D animation and it's still below 30 Kb. Hope you like it.

Thank you Sasha wonderful work as always i am very happy :D  ;D oh i see there are no avast letters but, anyway great avatar!!!
Thanks again!!!

Cheers

Here is one with avast! logo... I had to decrease the number of colors to get this file size under 30 Kb. What can we do... good old saying: "how much money you pay, that much music you get"

Post by: DavidR on July 10, 2007, 05:43:30 PM
It does look very good, strange thing though the rotation/animation speed is different between the two images, the one inside Sasha's post rotates at a slower speed (better). The one in RejZoR's member profile info, the animation is much faster you don't actually see it rotate it appears to flicker.

Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: DavidR on July 10, 2007, 08:59:37 PM
I don't know what it was but now they are both the same speed and you can actually see the complete rotation now. I don't know I've had some freaky stuff on the forums recently.

At my friend's Peter request... here is animated version of his avatar... just like he wanted... I also added two more versions, one with better looking colors and another one completely new. He likes potatoes, he loves Australia, and they had to roll their eyes... well, here it is...  ;D

Here is original pinkish version... (not my favorite BTW)

(http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8812/avatarpotatopinkmr3.gif)

Here is better looking version IMHO:

(http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/4097/avatarpotatobrownzm3.gif)

And here is my vision how his potato should look like... I kept the potato idea, little bit of Australia flavor in the background and of course rolleyes...  ;)

Hey Sash -

A nice variation on the above generic avatar would be to have the blue ball be a slowly spinning world globe with the "a" in the Atlantic ocean and "avast around the world" in the Pacific ocean.

        avast
around the world

OrangeCrate here you go... Please don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your current avatar, in a mater of fact it looks perfect. It's just I got another short gap in between my tasks and a little idea... so I said, why not turning it into an animated avatar... maybe you'll find it interesting...

Thanks Sasha, that's really cool.

By the way, I really like the animated one, but it's rotating pretty fast. Is there a way to slow it down?

Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on October 06, 2007, 04:48:36 PM
Yes, there are two ways of doing that... I can add some more frames to the animation, meaning that final file size (animated gif) will slightly grow, but the animation will be super smooth.

The other way is to slow down the speed of this one... meaning, lower the frame rate from 4 frames per second to let's say, 6 or 7 fps. Right now I am in the middle of something, but as soon as I am done, I will try to post both versions and you see which one you like the best.

Cheers!

Thanks Sasha, that's really cool.

By the way, I really like the animated one, but it's rotating pretty fast. Is there a way to slow it down?

Here is same one with slower framerate:

As I said, animation is not that smooth anymore... I would have to recalculate whole animation and use more frames to get that nice and smooth rotation. Maybe I'll do that one day so I can show you...

If only it was 60x60....the other forum only have tiny avatar!  ::) ::)

Something like this maybe ?

EDIT: Not sure why, but sometimes this stupid image hosting service is giving me trouble... images simply won't show even though I am sure links are 100% valid.

Let's try with another service...

It's not necessary Sasha, this looks just fine, and I'm honored that you'd take the time to customize an avatar for me.

By the way, I've been reading about your experiences with your new Mac. A great operating system, in a very pretty box!

No problem, I just finished it...

File size of the first one is around 170 Kb, and this one a lot smoother animated is around 300 Kb... larger file size, but better looking animation.

EDIT: Yes, I am so happy with my new machine, I simply can not express myself using words... it's like a renaissance  ;D

Now, if I can just get this ugly Vista working the way it should work, I'd be so happy... one big nothing instead of fully functional OS. I am closer and closer to installing UBUNTU 7.10 on my laptop as my primary OS... if only there is a Flash authoring tool for Linux, but unfortunately I will have to wait a little bit more. There are some attempts of creating something similar, but those are far from the real thing... oh well, can't have everything I guess.  ;D

Sasha,

I see what you mean, there's a big difference. This one is the best, and is certainly the keeper!

Take care, and many thanks for the avatar.

Edit:

They called it "Vista", because the name "Edsel" was already taken...

LOL! "The most spectacular failure in the history of the United States automobile industry"

Well, on second thought Vista doesn't sound that bad... If they named it Edsel, even this name looks pretty short, it would be still very difficult to pronounce that every single time you have to mention your OS name... I mean, its full name would look like this:

"Edsel - the most spectacular failure in the history of the World computer industry"

Well, it is possible, but the problem is quality... like an old saying in Croatia - "more money you give, more music you receive". In this case, if you want to have an animated gif avatar under 21 Kb, you'll have to live with this... it is 15 Kb, but its quality simply sucks.  :-\

Thanks! Yes, I do design icons... my last freelance assignment I did for a freelance agency here in Toronto, was to design a bit more than 1200 icons for a corporation that deals closely with Microsoft (programming plug-ins for MS Outlook and some other applications), and all that in 8 weeks. It ended up as a 6 months contract with final count of 6000 graphical pieces (icons, diagrams, few Flash presentations etc.) So, yes... I was pretty busy doing that.

Thanks.

Sasha's a talented guy. Reading above (^^), it's nice to learn, that it's not just a hobby for him.

Thanks, even though I still don't believe in talents. It's all work and you have to be persistent in everything you do... keep pushing and pushing and even when its obvious you can not do something, try one more time... just for the fun of it... maybe that's exactly the one you needed to achieve something.

Yes, I'm doing these things since I was 16 years old, so that makes it last 20 years, but just last few years I started making money doing this. But I always have some free time to help my friends if I can somehow, even though this can not be called some serious "help", but still... if someone asks me for something, and I have some time, why not. I know that little things can also make people happy and feel better... so why not start with small things ? Many small things can build a huge one at the end.

Cheers!

No big deal really, I just wanted to point that out...

Take a look in here... this is the original Flash animation I did first and then turned everything into animated gif. This time without avast! icon, but a lot more details. You will need Flash player to be able to see this  ;)

Here is something for OS X users, Leopard lovers... just like I am  ;D

Although many people liked those old OS X icons more than these new that came with Leopard OS, just because they are colorful and everything (I guess majority of people like candy-bars  ;D ), I found these new icons simply wonderful. The designer kept the consistency, and I have to say that I have never ever seen such a clean and crisp design in any other OS. No shiny parts, no unnecessary fake folder perspective (remember, out desktop is flat after all), just what it takes to have a wonderful looking icons.

Well, I decided to create something for avast!... avast! program folder icon actually. Of course I used exactly the same style, so it fits the rest of the icons in Leopard IMHO a 100%. The beauty is that Leopard allows us to have 512x512 pixel icons... true not very useful when on desktop, but that size is not meant to be used on a desktop anyway... it's for Leopard's new feature called "Cover Flow".

Here is preview how it looks like when in "Cover Flow" view (click on a thumbnail below to see full size image):

(http://www.imgplace.com/directory/dir3238/1195528648.png) (http://www.imgplace.com/directory/dir3238/1195528320.png)

Here is how it looks like when placed as "normal" icon among some other icons inside the Finder (similar thing to Windows Explorer in Windows):
(http://www.imgplace.com/directory/dir3238/1195527702.png)

And finally... here is a zip file with both, .icns as well as .rsrc files (icon files in OS X). You are free to use them wherever or whenever you want, just do not forget to mention who's the author if you are going to redistribute them. Look for orange DOWNLOAD button at the bottom of the page.

Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: szc on December 18, 2007, 03:14:27 PM
Yes, but this should not affect it at all, since none of these avatars I uploaded to avast! server. They all are hosted on some of those free image hosting services. The only impact it should have on loading is, that page should load fast anyway (if you don't have any trouble with your ISP), but these "heavy" animated gifs shouldn't display immediately... that's the only trouble you should normally have.

In another thread I posted how fast these pages are loading on my end... of course dial-up users will have to wait some longer, but that's the price you have to pay if you can't afford some faster IS, or if it's not available in your area of course.
Title: Re: ..:: my avast! forums avatar gallery ::..
Post by: DavidR on December 18, 2007, 03:52:18 PM
And it isn't available in my area, so pages with high graphic content are very slow loading, which is different that the current problem with the forum that I'm experiencing.

I have had some horrendous page creation times, normally they are in the tenths of a second or lower but I have had many now in the hundreds of seconds (not hundredths of a second) and that is before we even get to loading the images from wherever they reside.
