I know that using image hosting sites such as photobucket can be a pain , but it is necessary due to the amount of space pictures take up on the forum.
c5alive itself is run through a hosting site and I pay for the space we use. Looking at the admin side I can see that we've already used up over three fifths of our allocation, so I'm having to consider either paying for the next level up, or delete some of the older stuff (which I'd rather avoid).
In the meantime, please refrain from directly uploading your piccies onto the c5alive forum. Ta very much
