I, too, am on dial-up and all photos take a very long time download. Uploading anythng is worse. I have no choice, I live in the country and have no high speed service available to me.

Does anyone else long for the days of simple websites were the file sizes of photos were small and opened quickly, you didn't need a ton special software to open everyone's programs and the only thing on the screen was what you wanted to see. No ads, no pop-ups from hell, no dancing monkeys selling who knows what, no BS. When you are on dial-up, just loading the background images takes forever, and for what? A simple solid color would do so nicley! It's just a website, why does it have to dance around and be so dificult? ha! Put an image on it, make it load quickly, even for us dial-up slobs, and leave it simple. Wouldn't it be nice? No Flash, no Java, no Frames, no Hidden Menus, just simple, easy to find and use menus and reasonable file-sized photos that load quickly for eveyone, what a concept!!! ha!

No more Webshots for me!

As you probably know, I am stcuk with AOL dialup. I tried to go to Webshots and AOL froze up for about 3-5 minutes. I thought I was going to have to unplug my computer and reboot. Finally it came on. I tried one search and it didn't freeze up again, but it quickly became apparent that it was going to take a very long time, so I gave up and clicked it off. THEY REALLY NEED TO PUT UP A SCREEN WITH CLICK HERE FOR FLASH FOR HIGH BANDWIDTH USERS AND CLICK HERE FOR HTML FOR LOW BANDWIDTH USERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I am not the onyl person in the world with dialup. As long as they stick mwith the mandatory Flash crap, I will not be able to use Webshots at all. I guess I can go to the library and do my own Webshots searches, but I will be unable to share the results on here because of Conan the Librarian, nor will I abe able to view Webshots links posted here. Maybe I will go through the archives when I go to Las Vegas (Conan doesn't seem to work at the library there). THE NEW WEBSHOTS TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do not say that I need to get with the 21st century and get highspeed internet. The phone service and cable tv service are not in my name, and I do not wish to assume those bills, so dialup is my only option! BOYCOTT WEBSHOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPPORT FLICKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
