Is there a way to know the total file size of all the images posted on a thread?

I have this extension, Fatkun, that doesn't really do what you're asking, but it's helpful nonetheless.

One neat thing is that you can find the links used for all the images:

I dunno. It definitely has its flaws, but you can at least take a few extra steps forward than you were able to do before.

you're right, that's not exactly what i was looking for, but that's awesome! that would be a quick way to archive the links to all the images, which would be very handy to me as a reference. thanks!

you know what, this thread DID have a purpose

also uh i'm not sure why i posted things with real filenames for a long time, so apologies in advance if there's something filthy in there

jesus...i'm down on my knees

i'm begging you please, jesus, let me off my thread

not sure if my hard drive will ever forgive me for this, but

(my first thought was to run that thread through a sketchy online web page size checker, but it didn't work and I'm afraid I might have unleashed a swarm of SEO bots on ilx. sorry.)

huh, not sure why my figure was slightly smaller than yours

There's always the trick of opening the "skipping x messages..." link in a private window so that the embeds don't load. If you were looking to load a specific one you could copy its 'link' back to your logged-in browser window.

(or are there better ways to go about such things?)

xp i think it's because i downloaded the whole webpage, and it was also counting some other smallish files
