Upgrading things such as IPB uses alot of bandwidth

so if you have jsut upgraded IPB or somthing and run out of bandwidth, dont ask for an package upgrade wait till the end of the month.. as you may not even need it.

PB and IS are both good.

I use a freewbes site to host my sigs/avatars and an affiliate.

Its not like freewebs is good for anything else...

[zip_mc]

freewebs wont always work

somtimes people cant see the images..

or at least non of my friends could

[Zenchi]

About upgrading things: If you're concerned about that as a problem, simply wait until the end of the month. (Now, or the 30th-31st.)

Photobucket, I beleive has a limit (at least I think I read that.) of something. (Can't remember it.. I'll take a look after I get home from school today.)

[JaVe]

I've seen links to imgbucket but doesnt work *BLEEP*. Imageshack however is the best! I've tried picgoo, but after a while it just goes down!

Yeah, thats what i host all of mine on But really, dont worry abut the bandidth limit when hosting with Photobucket because i read it was 500mb and even though this site gets 1000000 of visitors i doubt a gif or jpg file would go over (unless its over 450x150 id say)

[Becca]

I don't do that no more.....

I'm clever...and yeah imageshack.us does rock......But sometimes they do delete your images that you upload....for some reason... o.O

I am using ImageShack and it hasnt been using up my BW.
Thats kool. Go for ImageShask and you wont have to loose your BW to ppl signing in from SEs.

Thats who i use and they ARE THE BEST! Lol, use them and dont even bother about other providers!

[dask]

it doesnt use "that" much bandwith, does it?

[Florisjuh]

every page view, saying your sig is 20 kb, 50 vieuws would take 1 mb
5000 viewers at trap 17 means 100 mb, the more popular the forums get, the more bandwith it takes you

[krap]

i use imageshack.us it's very good and fast, i would never use my hosting account for avatar

[OpaQue]

Also, please do not use image links directly off an external website. Do not hotlink images from other website because in that case, the web site owner of that site is going to suffer. I had an issue a month back, a guy from an external site was blaming trap17 for his BW drain. That site was not hosted with Trap17 but some user had hotlinked the image. Also, it is better that members who have cool graphics on their site, use the image hotlinking option in the cpanel to protect their own graphic files.

Anyone who needs up to 1 meg of space per picture and you need unlimited picture storage try ImageShack.

[Sirius]

I personally was thinking about putting all of the pictures needed for my site on an external host...Either another free host that has unmetered bandwith or an image hosting service...

Any ideas for one I could use without getting either side angry?

[xaetos]

I use photobucket to host all my images.. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I've never tried imageshack so I don't know if its any better or worse, but I do know that photobucket has never caused me much of a problem

[Saint_Michael]

yeah thats where i host my images at photobucket and if it was a quick thing imageshack, but sadly though in order for me to do my sig rotator i have to have my images on my account and then some.

[guangdian]

prodigy,you are the group of "unregistered"?
i have noticed the problem long ago,i erased the avatar and image on my signature.
now I am tring to build the new forum on my site just with text but no images,(the same as the trap17's,like "New Topic" " Reply ",so so).This not only speeding the load time,but also discrease the bandwidth of my account.It was built by punbb,which the designing based on the xhtml 1.0 stict and css layouts.

[electriic ink]

Prodigy (I believe) was an ex-admin of trap17 but his account has been inactive for such a long time that the member pruning script removed his account.

This may be an old topic but it is still relevant to today.
