I'm not an expert but some of the comments I receive are from those who
thank me for the quick upload... GIFs take a while to load. ... and from
those people who use Lynx  (there are some still around).   And just a
thought-  I've had occasional problems with getting GIFs to load at all. 
Many times I get that broken tile thing.  There's a possibility that I'm
not the only person that this happens to.  The internet is getting quite
crowded these days....
