    Why is it that afterdawn.com is running relatively slow when I'm signed on? Is this the norm? I have IE 6, Windows XP, 3.40 GHz, 1 Gb of RAM. Also, there are some links that I can't open. Please help...thanks very much in advance.

    It's probably due to your signature being over allowed limits. Your signature pic needs shrinking, it's oversized in height, width AND kb size...

    Signatures

    1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.

    2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

    3. If you use an animated picture in the signature, it should not be too distractive. Eg. blinking images or images with quick movement are not allowed.

    4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

    5. All the abovementioned rules for forum posts apply also to the signatures.






    The proper thread for reporting site problems is here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/316808 however i've not heard of anyone else experiencing problems over the last few days at least..

    Thank you for the input. However, it's been like this before I even knew how to put a sig pic. But, I will shrink it down to the allowable size anyway.

    pryme_H, that is because you didn't read the forum rules as you are supposed to.
