As most of you are aware we recently transfered the Forum and its HUGE database to another server..luckily there was'nt too many problems and only a few minor niggles.
One of these niggles was the size of the Uploads Folder (used for storing files, attachments,pictures,programmes,signature images, avatars and general pictures.)
;One way of overcomming this problem is to actually reduce the amount in there and actually keep it to a bare minimum for the forseable future, this is where you all come in... this also keeps our Bandwidth Quota low and incurs less running costs.
If you can please upload any Pictures you may want to post, Avatars , signature pictures etc to an external source.. IE: BT Digital Vault (http://www.btdigitalvault.bt.com/), Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/) or Your own personal web Space that most ISP's provide,then this would be a huge help, and assist us greatly.
I hope you Understand the reasons behind this, if you need any help with this just ask.
Cheers
