"Sure alot of people are still on dile up, then those people are less likly to upload a huge image, so where is your bandwith problem?" Bandwidth has nothing (or very little) to do with how many people upload an image. The bandwidth is used by how many people view that image. So here's the maths: Post a) has a 100k image and 50 people view it. That's 50x100=5000k, or just under 5mb in bandwidth. Post b) has a 200k image and 100 people view it. That's 20,000k, about 19mb in bandwidth. You can see how quickly it adds up. Given that there are anywhere between 50 and 150 threads in the poser forum ALONE every day, if they all had images over 200k... well, you can see where I'm going with this. The overheads can be huge. PS Feel free to sanity-check my maths, it's not my best subject ;-D
