Hi Guys and Girls,
i decided to add an avatar to my profile today and since i have, Dakka seems to be loading a lot slower than it was before.
Is this because i am locally hosting the file?
or maybe that it is too big? (i didnt get an error message when i uploaded it)
not really sure and i would appreciate any advice.
Thanks everyone,
RR

No, Avatar images are uploaded and hosted by Dakka.

If you are experiencing a site slowdown, it is assuredly due to other circumstances.

OK, thank you very much yakface, much appreciated. I did think this was the case, but thought i should check.
ill have a word with my dad and see if i can sort it.
