My signature had about 4MB of images total, not 26MB, not 40MB.
Around here what i have is the slowest, i did not know 1.5 megabit existed, though it would not be horrifyingly bad with my images.
Yes, much better. The look and feel of the signature is the same, but the page loaded in a fraction of the time it used to. Thank you.
Wait a minute. I miss so much! So we took a thread about 6D Maglites and turned it into a thread about how bort is abusing the power of the internet? What the hell is wrong with you people. I cannot believe how easy he has been about putting up with it. Kudos for him. I personally would have told the lot of you to kissmyass.
We should take responsibility for your Internet connection, or lack thereof? Get real. It's your responsibility to either load or not load photos with your connection. Get real! He resized them, now you want them to disappear just because you don't approve? Get real people!
Edit: My apologies for how rudely I posted. I got some very bad news from my doctor today and I have seemingly altogether lost it today and for the near future. I usually don't go off on tangents quite so badly, but I'm not removing it, because the essence of it was true.
Thanks for the tip Bort, I’ll keep an eye on it. I really should bag it up with some desiccant and put it somewhere safe.

Thanks 
I don’t enjoy arguing with people but i don’t like being walked on either.
I’d be lying if i said i had not thought about saying the same thing but decided against it. :laughing:
Give an inch and people want a mile (or ten) 
I understand slow internet is a fact of life for some, but politeness about problem doesn’t cost many 1s and 0s.
Make sure there are no batteries in it except when in use, Duracell (and others?) used to replace electronics damaged by leaking batteries, not sure if they still do but of course you want to prevent any damage.
No one was particularly rude to Bort.
The fact is that the internet is a shared space. A democratic experiment of grand form, and with it there is a certain etiquette not unlike interacting in society, but with a technical spin on top.
Back on the subject I would put 21AA in it since that would only over voltage it by .2 volts. No one is making real D rechargable batteries now days and I don’t need a new charger.
Very sorry to hear you got bad news O-L. Thoughts and prayers going out to you and your family.
Please understand that the post above yours has the quotes manipulated to make them sound totally different. Just read my post and compare it to that post to see what I mean. I do agree with what you said though.
The Internet is a grand place
With all of us vying for space
And so we must learn
To give all a good turn
As we add to the huge database
All this knowledge we now can embrace
As we navigate in cyberspace
If our minds we unite
We will gain new insight
Into making this realm a showcase
Though it’s happening at a snail’s pace
We are changing the whole human race
And we all can foresee
Just how great we can be
If we’re careful how we interface

A democratic experiment of grand form
ENDQUOTE
some of us would prefer a REPUBLIC of grand form, lol.
in a true “democracy”, its about the same thing as “mob rules”. Where the RABBLE gets whatever it wants that day, just because it wanted it.
in a REPUBLIC? your vote or opinion MATTERS, but… to prevent the “mob” from doing something unwise just because it “can”? LEADERS are in place, entrusted to make WISE decisions, and, to balance what the mob wants against what might be best overall for everyone.
==
we have a leader, isnt it “sb” ?
i’d say we have more of a republic than a democracy… and thats its a good thing.
and if the guy with the pictures in his signature, decides to make them as BIG as he can, just because he can? it will be a certain poetic justice.
==
on the internet? rules and guidelines are laid out… and every man is his own king, free to do what he can within those limitations. Come to think of it? i wonder how big of a picture of my CAT i can put in my siganture… i normally dont have intricate coolness signature lines, but… maybe the time has come…
Rechargeable Low Self Discharge NiMH are available from MAHA, also known as Powerizer. They carry the name Imedion.
At $30 a pair, filling that tube will be pricey, but they hold a charge very well, have excellent capacity, and will last a LONG time!
If anyone knew the amp draw, and had access to a discharge graph of those cells, one could extrapolate a runtime. Would be a loooonngg time. Can you imagine trying to carry that thing though lol?
-Michael
ETA: Wonder if there’s a runtime graph floating around? With it being a Mag I’m guessing it’d be a long slope.
Well, as long as we’re pouring money out of a boot… 
I found a $15 PR-based LED upgrade from Sears (can’t find one now) that is rated for up to 9v. That makes a 2C w/ 3*CR123 into a really useful tool. And it gives a lovely White light. It doesn’t correct Mag’s wide-beam problems, but it will most definitely extend any batteries in a 6D.
Let’s see… 6D Mag, ~$25, + bulb upgrade, $15, + assuming 2x LSDs per D, (30*6=$180!!) means $220.00 gets you a great huge log (that no longer makes a decent club) with a pretty white light with Mag beam defects, that will let you forget the last time you charged your batteries… If you went to 3x LSD per D (which I believe will still fit), you’re up to $310.00 and maybe your kids won’t remember when dear old Dad last recharged the batteries…
I think I’m starting to see a possible answer to the OP question here…
Yeah, a few of you really were. Not to mention dissing the OP by hijacking his thread.
Those of us who understand that “technical spin” just adjust our Browser Cache setting and move on.
It’s a simple thing, really, showing your brothers and sisters the same respect and courtesy you think you deserve…
For your information, my signature is 100% wide. Any modern laptop or desktop will not require any horizontal scrolling.
Are you still surfing BLF on a Commodore 64? It's time for an upgrade, friendo. 
So Bort and I have large signatures so that you'll complain so that we can laugh at you...
That's quite the conspiracy theory! 
The Imedions are $30 a PAIR, so halve that excessive number on the cells. Still pricey, but what ain’t?
10,000mAh per D cell. NiMH are well known to be Amp capable, but this light only makes 640 lumens so the draw is not very much, meaning 10,000mAh will have many many hours of run time even on high. MagLite’s runtime chart shows 71 hours on High. 
As a plus, the NiMH cells are lighter than Alkalines.
Last a long time was in reference to recharge rates, sure, the 6 cells will cost $90 but they won’t need to be replaced for a decade or so…
I have 4 of these, and some 30 Imedion AA cells for my flash units. The flash units put to work hard at weddings, they always hold up well even under stupid heavy use at the reception. I have Eneloops that use the same chemistry that are over 8 years old.
racoon, people use phones as though they were computers. go figure. I have bride and grooms view their high res pics on a cell phone. :person_facepalming:
My point is still valid.
If comfychair wants to see BLF in all its glory, it's time to upgrade to a real computer.
