Hi Ninja Shirpa/Cathy/VCOE: Recently some of our members have noticed the discussion board getting a little sluggish at times when changing pages. I personally have not experienced this, however, I'm wondering if we are possibly bogging down the system a little since we now have a rather substantial amount of posts along with "a lot" of pictures? I know that some of the picture file sizes must be quite big. Does this have any bearing on our discussion board, or am I way off on this and it doesn't matter how many pics we upload? Thank's in advance for your answer! |

Bea, The pictures that people link to in a posting are not stored on the forum anywhere, so they won't bog it down or consume any resources. When you link to an image in a post, it is downloaded directly from the web site that has the photo to your machine - the forum server doesn't have to do anything. So no worries there. I noticed a couple of times some slow responses as well, but those can happen for a lot of reasons, including a temporary slowdown on the server, or just something slow on the network. Overall I've found the forum response to be quite quick and consistent, so perhaps it was just a temporary problem. |

Ostrich: I don't think Bea was referring to the links, I think she was referring to the actual photos that are posted of all of our families, etc. I, too, have wondered if there is a space limit as to how much can be posted to this forum. I remember seeing a request posted on that "other" site about not including all the quotes because it was taking up too much space and they only had a finite amount of space to use. I don't know how all of this works...I've just been figuring if it's a problem, Cathy R. will let us know and maybe start deleting old stuff if necessary. I have not experienced any sluggishness except on the photos thread where it takes it awhile to load the photos but even that goes pretty fast for me. |

Peppermint, that is exactly what I was thinking about. A lot of our pictures are not linked to anywhere, but are posted right into the forum. I really have not have any problems either, and was just wondering about it. |

I had this problem, but for one day only. It's not an issue for me any longer. |
