So in yet another effort to help keep this place clean as well as help keep the file system and database lightweight, I am going to be deleting all the SIGNATURE PICS that have been uploaded to the forum. I am also going to be doing some removing of old attachments as well. I have explained more in detail below as this does NOT affect all members.

This is not to punish members in any way, I am just trying to help shift resources around to better improve the performance of the site!

~SIGNATURE PICS~
This ONLY applies for those members who have UPLOADED a signature pic to the forum itself. This doesn't apply to people who have their signature pics hosted somewhere else. You are still allowed to have pictures in your signatures however from now on you will be unable to upload them here directly to the forum. You will need to use a 3rd party hosting site as suggested below.

If you have uploaded a signature pic to the forum then it is going to be deleted within the next 48-72 hours. I am giving you guys a heads up so that you can SAVE your current signature pics from the forum just in case you don't have a backup. This way you can upload them to a 3rd party hosting site and then link your picture from there to your signature here on the forum. See the links below for a few suggestions.

~ATTACHMENTS~
Attachments are becoming a bit of a nuisance especially now with the iPhone 4 being that the screenshots are TWICE THE SIZE they used to be. Currently each member is allowed up to 5MB worth of attachments. However I want to make members aware that you can easily upload your picture attachments to one of the suggested 3rd party sites below. This will help keep the database and file system resources down.
