You guys are the only vbulletin board having trouble.
I heard that AGD shut off attatchments to save money, could be wrong, but ya never know..............

Depending on the resources dedicated to this forum, they may have storage limitations. being everyone's image file store is a pretty good way to waste disk. It has nothing to do with their choice of software for the forums. A technicial problem does not necessarly mean the software is broken.

No, the real question is how much does it cost to maintain it. As a userbase we contribute nothing to the ongoing costs associated with running this set of forums. In reality we have no grounds to demand anything.

I actually really like the no attachments setup. It keeps the image count on threads down. It also removes a lot of BW usage from AGD's side of things, since any images are loaded off other servers. Sure, some people host their images off of slow hosts. I just don't see the extra load as being worth it.

I will say it again, its not in the V board software. I looked. Its enabled there. Nothing is wrong on this end that I can control. Its turned on. And the only thing can be is if its blocked at the server at Delaware.net. Outside of the V board sofware.

If they have then they have not informed me of that. And they have not informed any other Mod or Admin either that I know of. So if that is so then I have not been told of any decission like that.

I was told second hand it was at Delaware where it was off. And it was a space problem of some sort. But not told what was going to be done about it. But none of that was confirmed and was second hand information at this point.

So you know all I know which is not very much really is it?

Whilst it can be seen as a pain to remotely host pics, every isp account I have ever had came with webspace so the arguement to not have space is not even valid....if the arguement is "I don't know how to use a FTP program" then perhaps there is merit in that
I posted in the latest signature test thread pretty early on about the same issue...and people ignored that...wether Delaware net is blocking it or not the cost for Bandwidth WILL be passed to Tom.....do you all want to start paying for your daily dose of AO?....even the text based input from the users contribute to bandwidth usuage...and if a clue to the rising costs wasn't obvious enough why do you think Tom announced that banners were to appear shortly. To keep a forum going at the expense of digging up dino's bones...no contest (for someone who's interest is in that direction)
Keep the attachments switched off.

well that may be true with pictures. but they're more likely to get "friendly" with the real thing. maybe it's that they don't find guys more attractive. their standards just get lowered.
