Using the "quote" function

[ADMIN]

To conserve bandwidth and reduce load time for pages, especially for our Members on dial-up, please do not "quote" pictures from a previous post in a thread. If you want to refer to a picture, just refer to the post #. Every time the thread is read and refreshed, pictures are re-loaded making the whole thread slower. While the Gallery allows larger pictures, pictures to be used in a thread/post should ideally be 640x480. Otherwise most viewers must scroll the page to the right to view the full picture.

Pictures are the largest bandwidth hog on a server....which is why sometimes the server is busy because it's overloaded with simultaneous high-bandwidth download requests. Please keep it simple.

Also, when quoting text, please quote only the relevant part, not the entire post. This will make it easier for everyone to read.

Thanks for helping!
