    Is there a size limit for remote linking too then? Hmm.

    You could always try to cut the quality down?

    Cut the quality of the individual files making it up maybe? Hmm... might work, but depending on how many used... Meh. What prog you used to make it? I use animation shop.

    i used photoshop elements, it would take a lot of quality cutting to drop the file size 110kb... cant really be bothered to try tonight though, think im just going to go to bed. night :wave:

    I played around with it a bit, but the best I could get under 20k didn't really look as good as the original :(

    Would it make sense to have a remote linking size limit? I mean, it's not taking up any of this site's bandwidth if you remotely link it anyway...

    Cheers, guess unless the mods lower the restrictions for remote linking it will never get used... :grump:

    obviously i reduced the size a little bit

    and then instead of using 5/6 frames, i toyed with the timing and used two, and optimized each frame

    I'll let you see it anyway, I can't remember which camera I took it on but one of them has more megapixels than the other.
    Give me 5mins while I put it on photobucket.
