[!UPDATE 1] - 2008-11-07 04:00 GMT
We have made some changes to the forums' running and also will be making sure that no more full size images are being posted inline of posts and signature sizes will also be changing slightly. Note that it's not so much bandwidth that is the issue but the resources being used by processes like the image resizer that has to first load the image, check it's size and then resize it.

I never realised some people were posting fullsize images that were almost a 1Mb and higher in filesize plus posting video quality gifs of TV and Film clips etc will not be permitted.

We hope you understand why we're doing this and will help us in keeping to the new guidelines and pointing out to us or self-policing members who don't follow these new rules that will be set.

Will keep you updated but hopefully we should be back in the next 12-24 hours.
