doug Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I have been trying to include the description of the Balance trainer on my website. The first version was ~1.6MB and took ages to load. I've done a modification and it's now only 106KB. This particular page now takes even longer to load. I have included it as an embedded file. I do need help here :help: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I don't know if this is any good for you Doug. I was thinking of the image optimiser!!!http://www.windowsforum.org/support/forum/...?showtopic=2595 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I use Irfanview to size all my images, doug, and I feel bad if I can't get one down to 50k for the site. You probably know about it, it's free.I should remove any references to those two files you put up and start again with an image under 50k.edit : http://www.irfanview.com/ (just in case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hi all found a work around and have moded my website. I was struggling with the scanned image of the page relating to the Balance trainer on the "What I'm Running For" page. Used Google to see if I could find any traces of it and turned up the Manufacturer (UK) exhibiting in California and got their UK website from that and posted a limk to it.Opinions welcome.

Guest nellie2 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Very nice too........ your limk works fine!! :D :D :D I'm getting two red x's on your home page instead of graphics. That could be me though not quite got my configurations right!!! Anyone else have a problem with Dougs home page?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I've got the 'runner' and the hit counter. I can't see anything else that might be live, except the 'Contents' hyperlink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 here is what I get.... made the pic a bit smaller that is why the writing is a bit funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hmmm. There are no traces of the top left and right 'images' in Opera, not in mine anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hi folks, sorry just realised I had stayed logged in for all this time. Yes the Index/Homepage needs sorting out still. It is a legacy of the Plusnet editor. It is very inflexible and once activated woudn't let go of some things I wanted to change. You may recognise it Nel. What I wanted to do was to do justice for the Balance Trainer in the What I'm Running for page. The previous image was scanned at the Hospital and e-mailed to me and I had had major problems with it. The scanner had introdused unwanted artifacts, i.e. a afint mottled background which bumped up the file size giving problems with the time to load the page. Trying to reduced the file size following the previous suggestions made it totally unreadable. Hence the work around. :D Now I'll have to see what I can do with that index page :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
