Avatars

Thank God! RomU would never be the same without that little "kukuku" here and there...

 

Hey seph if I do the same with my forum (SMF 2.0 RC2) and let the members UPLOAD their avatars, won't it lag the forum? Or the server? I use a free host and my database is 6GB big

 

I knew you'd be here asking that once I told you. XD

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your avatar was so awesome with it!

 

I know, right?

Well, at least there'll be less typographical errors in my post now that I won't be so distracted by her avatar. Though I prefer cutesy Lolitas...

 

Maybe as as act of remembrance; somebody should be elected to speak at the mass funeral held for all of the Photobucket accounts in 90 days time.

 

Eh? I thought that previously, only remote hosts were allowed for some reason I don't quite recall. Am I thinking of another forum or is this a legitimate about-face?

 

No, you're absolutely right; it's sheer coincidence that everyone decided to delete them all off their hard disks at the same time.

 

I like this new feature!

 

Wait a minute-wasn't there some security flaw with uploading avatars to the server?

 

What is the max. size of an avatar?

 

lol...Gotcha. But how do remote avatars affect the forum's speed?

Well, at least you chose the best avatar from the randomizer. =P

 

I see. But I don't think anyone is stupid enough to link a 20 MB or more pics. Or is there O.O ...lol
I also read that for SMF to run faster you could simply change the Attachement directory, so that the attachments will be saved in another location. Same for the avatars. Here's the link to the source Seph:
