I am going to need help because nothing I do seems to be working.

Penguin, I wonder if you would consider re-posting this wonderful tutorial, perhaps with some links to test threads? It's getting pretty bogged down.

Could you put a warning in your tutorial that you should copy an image to your photobucket account (or whatever imagehosting site you use) instead of directly linking to a clipart site?
It can result in the original site having to pay alot of money in bandwidth fees.

Here is a wikipedia article on Bandwith theft:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_theft

A friend of mine that runs a clipart site specifically mentioned this site and this thread to me because someone was directly linking to a image on their site.

Please be aware of your file size when posting images here. This is a privately owned and operated site. Large files take up a lot of space and bandwidth. He pays for what we use.

Try to limit your avatar to 50x50. Please remember to keep your signature in check too. Some people don't have broadband connections and must wait 20 minutes for threads to load.

Thank you for keeping that in mind.

Sorry, but it's the bandwidth from photobucket and other such hosting sites that is in fact being used, as mycroft pointed out in the post above yours about bandwidth theft. It doesn't take up extra bandwidth here unless we link from here. The images hosted here use bandwidth. The Blue Sun images and the basic avatars and the little screenshots. Any picture linked to the site in the threads, however, is not using our bandwidth but that site's bandwidth. My avatar and all my images are linked from photobucket, so they are the ones footing the bill, not Haken.
The loading times I will not debate. I have dial-up, and it's crappy dial-up, but I don't mind waiting. It usually doesn't start taking ridiculous amounts of time until the threads get upwards of 100 posts, and that tends to be with or without extra pictures. And even then I don't mind waiting if it's a thread I'm interested in.


Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
