Yeah, you're right , that is the risk of using links, which I try not to do, just for that same reason. What I'm confused about is the relationship between the number of pics allowed per post and the actual final size of those pics when shown. What I mean is, does reducing the pic size to a minimum, thats say, 10 to 15 KB or even less per pic, does work? would it not be the same (server wise & speed compromise) to have one pic added to the post at 100KB, or 10 pics at 10 KB each?
I am already reducing my pics considerably, trying to keep them at least half of the allowed size but I would happy to reduce them even more (unless rare exception- detail), if that does work for the forum system. I could even try to add a number of pics in within one frame pic, I have the software to do it, wait, wait... but, can I do it?
I still think that the limit should be kept as is for those that rarely post pics but for members like me, a compromise in the size of the pics, would be no problem, if that solves the problem.
Reply, please!

I'd imagine that the sizing of the pix is more due to limited drive space to store them on the server and less to do with server speed.
After all, if pix are added as attachments - rather than embedded - then the server generates thumbnails and when the post is displayed shows these thumbnails instead. Thus only slowing the thread loading time minimally and being kinder to those of us on dial-up.
Regardless of final size of the pic, they're only taking up serious bandwidth when someone clicks on the thumbnail.
It's when pix are embedded that things get ugly... as everyone who reads the thread is downloading the pic whether they want to or not. (Unless the pic has been deleted from the host site, in which case it leaves dead links which the server possibly wastes more time trying to follow. )

A great place to look is in BUNNIES waste dumpster got some broken cyprus fence pickets that when glued in to a block made a few nice po-pourie bowls
and they throw out the dunnage used to pack the bundels of timber
Have fun and welcome to our mad world
