Bandwidth Usage?

It wouldn't suprise me if PM's also took up alot of room, i know some people save their PM's until they are completely full, and as someone once said probley the member list... Most of those people either A.) Have never posted... or B) haven't even visited the site since 2002... when they first registered.

Yeah i just looked and if you check the members list and by post looking at least to greatest... the first like 84 pages are nothing but people who have 0 postings and most i seen were from like 2002 and such.....

For instance, is it better to link to an article or better to quote the article in the post?

The BB standard is to quote the article within
tags, and then link to the external source. 🙂

Is it better to say, embed the pictures in a post or just put a link to click out of BB to another site?

Always using a third-party picture hosting site is the way to go, instead of uplading to BB. And generally we like the pics to go in our gallery, although I'm thinking that tends to be a bandwidth hog.

We used to have a bunch of other features here that we removed for just that reason. They were fun, but incredibly hungry when it came to bandwidth. If it becomes a recurring thing then current features offered on the board are often re-evaluated. But I second Kean about looking into a list of top bandwidth-using pages/features is a good idea.

Oh and the reason the sigs are often cut off is we have an auto signature limiter now.
