What they failed to realize is that making the non members read moar instead of looking at dumb pictures will cause their brains to grow over time.  Soon- they will take over the system and exact their revenge.

As I've said before. We are running BW tests and will revert back. At least give us a few days to gather data. In fact, give me 1 more day and it should at least be sufficient information to go with. (Rough data, but it should do.)

I realize people don't like to click links, but this is JUST for attached files, so you can blame bronze members for overly enjoying their uploading powers. (Bastards!) Everyone else's images (Gold+, images linked from off site, etc) should be unaffected. It's more of an attack on those bronze posters than anything!!!! DOWN WITH THE CLASS STRUCTURE!!!!

To give you an idea of what we are looking at, our BW usage has almost doubled. (Think of your mortgage payment doubling and staying that way for months.) It's a little shocking to see and we just want to understand better why we are using so much BW and come up with an approach to address it. The images are part of the issue, we need to see how big a part by segments. Make sense?

I have had this exact issue also.  Now I cannot post my own images, that I have hosted with arfcom, into my own posts on arfcom; used to be I just clicked to attach image from my library, and could pick one from my albums; not anymore.

Thoughts, @Goatboy?

@seven-shooter  The images you have here should be unaffected entirely. This only impacts images uploaded by bronze members as attachments. Those are converted into links versus shown as inline images. (Just for now while we run BW usage reports. See my post above.) If you are having issues with images, IM or Email me and we can look at it. The image you posted has an invalid link, there is no image extension on it for example. (Should be .jpg or .png or .gif for example.)

I liked it when the apostrophes weren't working too. That one made me cry a bit.

We will get it sorted out soon. As I said, I'll cut it down from a week to 48 hours and should have the attached images back to displaying inline tomorrow.

It is interesting because images seem like an minor issue overall esp compared to video and the rest of the site components but I just checked and the imgur link I posted in the blood pressure thread OP has 5,200 views and has used 949 MB of bandwidth in less than 24hrs.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand 24/365. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Namma's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Shenanigunz and hk45user truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Mr. Smiley's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as goatboi's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. ?? And yes by the way, I DO have a dk_prof tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

You know what's crazy.

That a Bunch of damn compooter code can make an image in the first place.   That is trippy  shit.

There are movies and songs floating  through the air right now being grabbed out of the sky by our phones.
