Jim The beauty of broadband is that on average sites today are slower than they used to be when everyone was on dialup :o) I understand what you mean (I think) but I tend to try to compress images until I can start to see degradation (with reading glasses on) then back off a little. But the arbitrary "level 5" ... does not relate well to such a subjective view. It really does depend on the nature of the image as I'm sure you are aware. The sharper and crisper your pictures are to start with the sooner you start to see the effect. But before we start putting up 500k images "because we can" perhaps we need bigger thumbnails too ... so we get a better idea of whether we want to :o) Q ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali Broadband from 14.99 with free setup! http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/
