Uh, Walt. Is there any reason why you've started including a massive reproduction of a battle scene painting with your posts?
Once is adequite.
I reduced it 50% on the AOL server. It still looks pretty huge though. I thought that was adequate. It looks a lot smaller when I pull it up as a URL. Maybe the change will kick over here. Anyone have any ideas?
It's a picture of Col. Robert Gould Shaw leading the 54th Massachusetts intantry.
I do aim to use it as a header.

Try the following.
First: You need to fix your code for that image to reduce its size when you post it. That way it won't take up the entire screen. Copy the following code to achieve
this:
<img SRC="http://members.aol.com/walterm140/rgshaw4.jpg" height=250 width=280>
Second: Even if you do reduce the image itself to something that doesn't take up half of the entire thread, the size is still a major problem. Even after you said you have reduced it, the image itself is STILL over
200 kilobytes. That's desktop wallpaper size and it's a strain on even the fastest phone lines to download every time you post it. As a general rule, you should not post anything that size more than once. For repeat posts such as headers you should try not to use anything more than about 30 Kilobytes. You are over 170 kb's over that limit as it stands right now. So, for the sake of bandwidth, either reduce your image size to something reasonable or pick another image.
