When you quote someone's post, please make sure to not re-post their pictures. Most picture hosting services allow you a limited supply of bandwidth, and if everyone keeps re-posting someone's pictures, thats the less life we have for them in the thread..

Thanks ;)

It should be noted that this can be done by simply removing the IMG tags and everything between them in the quote.

Sorry Tnik, I thought the noobs may not know this.

I wondered when someone was going to bring this up. LOL I didn't want to say anything for fear of being told to shut up.

I don't know what or who you mean but maybe I should have said:

I thought about the quote issue taking up extra bandwidth and considered posting something but since I really don't know much about the perticulars of the site best to leave comments like that to the experts. :D

Back when Coop was using the Christina Ricci avatar, I didn't mind people using the quote feature.
