Now times that by 7 for us adding them everyday of the week times that by 4 for the month. Thats over 1GB in photos alone. Think of quite a few people clicking each photo to take a look.... or think of 10 people decided to look at all our photos for a month(doubtful but..), in one day, in this example 10GB of bandwith will be downloaded from accyweb server.
We have been adding them a lot and not thinking about all this because a few photos isn't much in filesize. Add them all up....accyweb must have quite a lot of server space and a lot of bandwith otherwise we would not be able to access the forum due to running out of the bandwith for the month...
Note: If my maths don't add up; you will have to forgive me. Ive always been bad at maths.(though I accounted for the fact that 1mb is 1024KB and not 1000KB)

How does looking at a photo on the server result in a download of any type, I think this is a flaw in your hypothesis, and the limit is 500kb. I don't know what the size would be if posted directly into the text box without reduction.
Plus I don't think the capacity on the server is a problem, it is the cost of the hosting, the capacity in infinite, but has to be paid for through contributions to the site.
