So - you posted a pic and it's disappeared - WHY? *!#*
OK ... as it says (every month!) ...

Please - do NOT use the 'on forum' picture hosting to show your photos, but put your pics on one of the great picture hosting sites out there ...
my personal favourite is Photobucket! <-- Click to link |
The reason for this is simple ...
The 'on-forum' picture upload facility is primarily there for pictures supporting important technical posts ...
'on-forum' pictures take up space on our server, both for the picture and for the nightly / weekly / monthly backups (space costs money).
'on-forum' pictures are downloaded from our server, so this uses OUR bandwidth - the movement of data off a server onto your computer screen - bandwidth costs money! In addition, while pictures are being downloaded, this affects the overall performance for everybody else (like the difference between trying to get through a small doorway one at a time, or all trying to cram through at the same time)
'on-forum pictures are limited in size and 'shape'.
'on-forum' pictures don't have a great format.
So ... Photobucket!
It's free, very easy to use, has a nicer layout in the post and utilises THEIR storage and THEIR bandwidth!
Please don't use the on-forum picture upload facility to illustrate 'pic of the month' nor any other of the 'general' forums - if you do, it's likely that the pic (and maybe your whole post) will be removed.
I'm sorry if this seems a bit unfair - ultimately, I'm trying to make it fair for everybody!
