Default IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EVERYONE

Can everyone please stop posting enormous pictures as attachments. They eat up a lot of bandwidth and as you may know this led to the site having to be closed for the last few days of September as it exceeded its allocation.

A lot of people are posting entire screen dumps as attachments which is basically stoopid because just a small section of that image is actually needed to convey the point youre trying to make or to demonstrate the work youve done/are doing.

If you really must post a full screen dump, at least host it elsewhere and link to it in your post with the [img] tag in BBCode. The same goes for any big images/files. The attachment feature is there for necessity only when no other means will suffice.

If the badwidth usage goes through the roof in two weeks time, I will have to remove the attachment facility for fear of the site going down again so the message is simple - consider other users and think before you post.

Hi Dee, can't you say how big the filesize could be ? And perhaps how much width and height the maximum picture can be ? Isn't it a option in the forum preferences ?

And of course, people with big files should post separate links !

Its often better to disable attachments then people who want to post images can host them on other free webspace saving you bandwidth.

lol, If you'd take the time to read the writing you'd know what happened Anyways the websites partially back up. And the forums are up, but the old ones got wiped so you need to re-sign up

So THAT's why the site has been so slow lately! I thought it was my 56k complaining. So now listen to the boss everyone.
