Steven P. Administrators Posted March 28, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2004 Because we are doing so well on our new hosting plan we have decided to re-enable image and avatar viewing for guests. hopefully this will make unregistered guests want to participate with the forum they like to lurk on and view as normal members can. The following restrictions remain: no posting, no sig viewing, no access to OT areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 29, 2004 Our scary-avatar'ed admin scores another hit :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Our scary-avatar'ed admin scores another hit :D I think that is why the decision was made, so when guests came in, read a post from neobond, they would have the fear of the admin after they saw his avatar.

Just let those transients know that it'll be the first thing you'll cut back on when the need arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Actually... Did you know that a guest could see EMBEDDED IMAGES all the time? Means images hosted as attachment on Neowin, but NOT images referred from other servers? The changes won't affect Neowins bandwidth at all. With the exception of avatar viewing, but these are small.
