there's the possibility to upload avatars to steve's server. of course, he has to activate this option first (if he hasn't already).
advantages: everything runs smooth because the server delivers everything.
disadvantages: a bandwidth limit probably?

All avatars get uploaded to my server anyway :p but there is a k limit. I could enable the facility to use external graphics as your avatar but i still think we should have a k limit so that dialup people dont get too beat up :)

Yeah, even at 9am when all the Americans are tucked up in bed and the net is supposed to be faster, this site is still incredibly slow.

I know php (or whatever it is) does that, I use another forum with it and it's the same. Also your status always shows the current one as well as your number of posts :x
