Title: Please restrain your picture uploadings
Post by: iago on April 30, 2007, 09:29:21 PM
I don't want to have to turn off the ability for people to upload things to the server, but my disk space and network bandwidth for such things is fairly limited.  Please please please use other image hosting services like photobucket or smugmug or whatever to host your images; then LINK over to the images from your post.  This server is not operated for free; please don't cost me (or the people offering me hosting) money. :)

Moderators, please feel free to reply to this post with directions and guidance for where to host images off-site; I don't have the time to do that research and posting. :)

Photobucket is good...Darkling & I both use that.

Something that should be made clear: Yes Darkling does have some threads with a gazillion large pictures in them.  HOWEVER, the pictures are loaded on Photobucket and not using Iago's upload folder. She is NOT connected to the original problem of the picture folders on this site getting filled up. Said problem existed before she posted those threads, it just didn't get noticed except by one or two people before hand....leading her to be a victim of The Hindenburg Uncertainty Principle.
