Bandwidth and Attachments

[redshoes]

Due some ongoing issues with our server and ISP we have been forced to look at ways to reduce the amount of bandwidth Ten Tenths uses. One of effects of this is that we have been forced to withdraw the facility to upload attachments, which is one of the main culprit for both bandwidth and disc space usage. They used to say picture is worth a thousand word, that is still very true in internet terms - a single attachment will use the same system resources as several pages of posts.

Any existing attachments will remain but you will now see a link to display the image rather than actual image itself.

If you need to include an image in your post you can still use the [ img ] tags. As these will be hosted remotely they will not impact our server. If you do this please remember that 400x400 pixels maximum size guidelines still stand - not everyone has a large resolution monitor and ADSL connection.

We hope that the issues will be resolved shortly and we will be able to re-introduce the attachment facility.
