PING!

^^^dial-up

I thought Moolah! would've been a little more modern with his choice of internet connection...  Unless he lives somewhere out in the middle of nowhere!

Moolah! tends to be a bit old school. [8D]

What was the clue in my image that indicated that I'm on dial up? The average round trip times?

I can't speak for M.G., but I'm assuming he came to that assumption from the average ping time!  That, and you're using a fairly old version of Command Line Interpreter[:p]

I was thinking that myself...  What use would it actually be?

After reading their FAQ which states explicitly

"What if Screenshots.cc ?

Screenshots.cc is a free web service which allows users to upload their images to our servers to which they later can share and distribute them to their friend and colleagues, post them on forums and auction sites."  (bolded text mine)

... and having a few chuckles I fiddled with my original message and eventually managed to get DATW to display it, albeit as a thumbnail.

Looks like they won't hotlink to the original image (might be too big, might eat up too much of their bandwidth, etc.) but will display a thumbnail of it, so people can click and view the original on screenshots' site.

Somewhat annoying but an interesting concept. Think of it this way, if screenshots was the only site that was allowed here, there'd be no more sabotaged threads or stretched screens.

And the whole point behind that screenshot was to show off the name Vendelin. []

That, and his slow assed internet connection...  Moolah!  We're disappointed.

Show me one thing your fancy CMD.EXE can do and mine can't. [:X]

That would be my guess...  Too much bandwidth for their database with hi-res images...

Teh administrator here had taken care of that problem a little while back, I believe!  A script had been written that will not allow an oversized pic to display in its original resolution...

Why zip around in a spaceship when you can savor the flight and enjoy the scenery cruising around in a baloon? [8D]

[Ace]

Sometimes I like to slow down and savour the flavour, but other times I need lightning fast speed!

[Ace]

I crave speed at times, just like Steve McQueen...

If I fall into a bit of cash, I'd crave a ride somewhat like this...  To hell with the tree hugging hippies!
