I'd have thought disabling attachments would save quite a lot of load.  Anyone thought of that?

Probably

But having that facility is useful. Old attachments are pruned also I think, so only newer topics will have attachments in.

i agreee on the attachements stuff. just get a decent web host. =/

I disagree, not everybody has a website or knows someone who can put it on for em temp. How are ppl supposed ta post screenies bout there probs if theres no attachment facility? Maybe just disable that facility for T&T an only alow it in helpthreads?

Decent webhost my rear. Go suck a lemmon or start your own webhosting company before you start talkin.

IMO, the new skin isn't a good thing to the server-load. Sure the images are small. But multiply that by the hundreds of visitors each time and it is a big deal I suppose.

the older skin loads faster for me anyway, so i use it instead

Not really, because attachments are stored in the database, there is no real load increase with them..

When you upload an attachment it is essentially the same as making a really really long post which has to be submitted to the script.

Same applies for the images and skin, they do not put any really significant load on the server because they are just sent straight to the browser whereas the php scripts have to be parsed.

Uhh... I thought Millenium_edition was telling people to get their own decent web hosts instead of taking advantage of ours... But what do I know?

Sounded more like he was telling you to get a decent web host for these forums... Dunno how you interpretted it how you did
