Hot-linking is a whole other animal. I wouldn't even know if there's a way to fix that other than disallowing it completely...which I wouldn't suggest, just because it would create another obstacle for posters, and it might be inconvenient when it's too big for some posters, but at least it sucks from other websites bandwidth and not Net54's.

If your guy has a way to shrink those down however, that would be great.

If there's a storage issue with attachments Leon, I am certainly ok with you keeping it at 2MB, rather then 5MB. I can easily work around that.

I assumed VBulletin was using a tool to compress them down to how they appear on the website, and storing it at that size. I wasn't aware it was storing the full sized file.

Only problem is other posters who may not be as savvy with internet stuff, don't know why their images aren't uploading. There's no error reason given when an image gets rejected. It just says "Upload of File Failed", but it doesn't say why.
