For absolutely ages I've been saying how you should be considerate to other forumengers and not post images that were needlessly too large because there are poor fuckers out there who don't have broadband, or are accessing via a phone or something, and it's just not fun to have a few MB to download just to view a page.
And I know today was exceptional with the thread hijacks, etc... but visiting one of the threads ( http://www.londonfgss.com/thread18873-5.html ) resulted in about 10MB of downloads.
10MB! For one freaking web page that only 41KB on it's own.
That's:
[code]
10,240KB of images
[/code]
Which frankly is too much.
So images are now being replaced with links to the images whenever the image is unfeasibly large.
Hopefully this will keep the forum usable when things get silly.
And it is a shame that thread was derailed... Amy should be supported, and not have her thread 'jacked.
