We have noticed many more users unfortunately exceeding their bandwidth and thus not being able to allow any acces for themselves or others to their own sites. We have also noticed that their has been a large increase in the number of page views at trap17 from search engines ..etc (which is good for this community).

However we now have come to the conclusion that users linking their avatars but most likely image signatures are losing a great deal of bandwidth with the amount of page views totalling over 50,000 views per day. Whenever one of these many guests loads a page containig your signature or avatar linked to an image on you account, you suffer. And bulk views increase the amount of your bandwidth used considerably.

So we advise you to change your signatures to text links or host your signature images on image hosting servers, this will be for you benefit.

All members post sites for free image hosting here, so other can upload their files to these.

thankyou

Also members

Upgrading things such as IPB uses alot of bandwidth

so if you have jsut upgraded IPB or somthing and run out of bandwidth, dont ask for an package upgrade wait till the end of the month.. as you may not even need it.

About upgrading things: If you're concerned about that as a problem, simply wait until the end of the month. (Now, or the 30th-31st.)

Photobucket, I beleive has a limit (at least I think I read that.) of something. (Can't remember it.. I'll take a look after I get home from school today.)

I've seen links to imgbucket but doesnt work *BLEEP*. Imageshack however is the best! I've tried picgoo, but after a while it just goes down!

Yeah, thats what i host all of mine on biggrin.gif But really, dont worry abut the bandidth limit when hosting with Photobucket because i read it was 500mb and even though this site gets 1000000 of visitors i doubt a gif or jpg file would go over (unless its over 450x150 id say)
