We’re getting a ton of traffic right now due to the news and the forums are running super slow. We need to limit the image sizes or else the forums might go down!
Chris here…
Just replied to your PM about this, Manny - to quote myself:
…But yes, if there’s a risk that our forums will go collapse under the weight of this then we need to take steps about this. Any ideas / suggestions how to go about doing it? 
If only we had the new site online now, we could have posted this straight to the front page and that would have redirected some folks away from the forums! Oh well, one more week and this won’t be a problem anymore!
Take care…
We need an image resizer like he-man.org has for those people who post images using services such as photobucket, etc
That is a plugin for vBulletin that can be obtained through them unfortunately I do not have access to download free plugins from vBulleting website.
Can you get that plugin Manny so we can implement it on the forums

Hey gang, Angie just PM-ed me to LMK that her signature image for these forums has just broken, due to our changing the max image size for the forums. Apparently it’s been reduced to 2KB, which is pretty small, LOL!
I have to say I think we should bump the image size back up again a bit, as the images we thought were slowing our forum down are actually “hotlinked” so changing the image sizes hasn’t altered them at all…and 2KB is minuscule! 
Anyway, no worries, but just thought I’d flag up to you guys what Angie told me!
Take care…
We’ve fixed the issue and now we have an auto resizer too for the forums

You’re a legend, MannyC, well done! 
Take care…
That was MannyFs doing…i only pointed him to what we could use for resizing he uploaded the plugin
Chris here…
Well in that case, both Manny’s are legends!
Take care…
