Hi! On the previous GIF animations for the PT: It's really a pain for me to go through those GIF animations. Not too many reasons, just the speed is far too slow and the telephone fee is far too expensive and the browser always behaves strangely. I'd rather you have some GIF frames been picked out to be shown there in the web site then I could go through them myself. Maybe JPEG could give better compresion ratios. --zhaoway .________________________________ /http://mud.jlonline.com/~zhaoway\ 闷罐船 \zhaoway@public1.ptt.js.cn / 水世界 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think if they were individual gifs you would have much more downloading to do. gif is a better choice than jpeg for images like this where it's mostly solid colors and horizontal lines.

Also, what browser are you using? Animated gifs have been around for years. Netscape or IE should be able to deal with them perfectly. Or as someone suggested, use RealPlayer to do a slide show, or use an image program like Photoshop to explode the gif into it's sequence (although it won't look as pretty as you might expect since it's layered).
