Yes, he's not a 16 year old notable anymore!! He's a 17 year old notable!!!

But he's at work today, so now's your chance to wish him a Happy Birthday whilst he's not here to insert witty comments to interrupt the flow of things.

I'm sure he'll be back around 10pm to drop by and say hello. If he doesn't it means he's taken to alcohol a year early.

*FM is now sending Grix Thraves a personalised birthday card to [email protected], and requests that everyone who knows him does the same and see how long it takes to jam up his inbox.*

Don't have so many frames in your animation, and it depends what software you are using but most of them allow you to 'degrade' the appearance off your banner using a 'loss' percentage, personally I've lost up to 80% on some of my banners and they still turn out ok. That cuts about 50% of the size in total.

He won't mind about his e-mail being given out, if you look hard enough it's dotted about all over these forums anyway :-).

If you want to really jam his inbox up, there are some REALLY big cards to send at www.egreetings.com, which is a free service, you can send him a nice flash animation card or something.
