I made this place so we could chat about the rovers and share a few pictures with one another and share ideas and techniques.

I didnt make it to be a file repository for images to be posted elsewhere. Believe it or not, it costs money to run this place - and frankly - and when it's the active and entertaining forum that we've all enjoyed - I dont begrudge the cost one iota. But when people take advantage and use it like some sort of storage to link to elsewhere, then I begrudge it quite a bit. Get your own webspace.

I've spoted quite a few direct links to images, instead of to a thread.

I'll be monitoring bandwidth very carefully and if it gets out of hand, members-only will be turned on and all those links will simply vanish unless you're signed in.

You have been warned.

The bandwidth stats are there for all to see ( http://www.rlproject.com/globat/webstats/ ) and at the moment - it's nowhere NEAR my total monthly budget - but if it gets up to the 6 gig mark - then I'll just go members only and the problem's solved smile.gif

To be honest - I've been thinking of moving servers - and I'm investigating the involvement of backing up the whole forum and reinstalling it elsewhere - but really - it's been FAIRLY reliable and there's quite a bit of work involved, so it's unlikely

Whats the URL for the forum you mentioned

Cheers
