It's coz it's been pulled out of the Gallery which is currently down, I'd expect normal service to resume soon Very Happy

All the 'large' images are now resized and restricted to 960 pixels high to save bandwidth Confused

What about the video clips on there, surely they must eat loads of bandwidth when viewed?

Not as much as you might think, they don't get viewed that much - obviously they contribute but not as much as the big photos. The forum pages are the worst culprits though!

Ahh I see, you mean some members might even be using gallery pics as avatar sources?, therefore hammering the bandwidth everytime anyone opens any of their posts? Scoundrels the lot of em Wink

No, the actual forum pages (the text) make up the majority of the bandwidth, linking to gallery pics makes no difference as unless avatars are linked from another site then they're all served by the site anyway Smile
