Putting in the dimensions reserves spaces for the images, so as soon as you load a page, it will be the correct height, even if the images aren't done loading yet. If you don't add the dimensions, then when you first load a page, it will be shorter than it should be, and when you start loading a particular image, the page height will grow to accommodate it, causing the jump effect. I'm not particularly bothered by it, but I guess some people would prefer no jumping.

Guess what? Those tags only control the size of the image that is displayed - it has ZERO impact on the size of the original file - so the file will have to load at it's original size to be re-displayed at the modified sizes.

Not much.
Longer loading time.

Much more noticable when responding to a ping, say to reply #847 in a thread. Particularly if there are a lot of graphics on the thread. And as often as not, when the thread finally settles down, it doesn't end up where it's supposed to.

Now, I could stop loading the thread, read the post, then resume loading the thread, but the point being, there is a right and wrong way do do such things.

Hmmph! Maybe your cats don't dance but mine sure do! One of my cats has gotten to be quite proficient at waltzing with my dog. The other cat loves to salsa dance all over our bed and us as soon as the alarm clock goes off.

Agreed, but your and my browser will make "room" for the graphic because the HTML is included in the link. Thereby reducing DANCING THREADS.
