Thanks Bradley,

I know the high pixel photos take a long long time to download on dial up. But expecting the high speed folks to cut pixels for dial up folks isn't a realistic expectation. I try to check the Show us your pics page from work after hours since I've high speed there.

What is weird is it seems like the red x's come on after a certain pixel limit has been reached. Like there's some setting to switch from pic downloading to the red Xs for that page.

But then, If I go through the motions of right clicking the red x and then clicking 'show picture' the pictures download just fine.

Its like there's a setting asking me if I'm sure I wanna go farther? So, from that thought there might be a place in XP to adjust that setting.

Curious question is why is it there at all? If it'll down load with my okays on each red x picture why doesn't it just go ahead and keep downloading in the first place?
