Interesting.... uploading... bandwidth... seems to me (but I am only on the outside looking in) that the site slows down relative to the number of logged in members...now if the number of people logged in is over 2000, the site crawls (even on DSL)... but never considered that this might be because people are UPLOADING so many images when I am just visiting & looking at the gallery images. But I guess the "worker bees" behind the scenes know.. and I hope that the upload limit does help speed up the site. I love to visit the galleries but have no time to wait a full minute while my art comment is posted or for pages to change. That really spoils the little bits of time I have to visit the galleries! I DID upload three a day.. BUT only once every 2-3 weeks! I would do several images and then just make one 'upload visit' at a time... Knowing the limit, I will still be creating art the way I do (in between commercial projects) but will remember to just do one a day, three days in a row I suppose.. no problem. I just hope that one way or another the site can keep it's speed with the ever growing membership! I guess only time will tell if the upload limit allows for an increase in speed... then MORE time will tell if enough members want to spend the $$ that may help financialy with the bandwidth limits..
