    Dave,

    Is there a way to put a password in, even to open the front page?
    i.e. NO visitors?

    There is, and in the past it was like that, however I think that the bandwidth it used was minimal to have it open for the LR community to see.

    Anyway, last paragraph should read:

    The unique visitors thing isn't that much of an issue. Bots are uniquely named/identified so they don't cause integrity conflicts with home base. A larger issue is the volume of data number and requests you are putting out at peak times and whether your server can handle them. Obviously the data rate will be limited by your server's bus speed and the size of your pipe but whether it can handle the number of requests is another issue and introduces other limitations (cpu speed, RAM volume, disk R/W speeds, etc.). So if your current h/w is having problems with matching peak loads can you load balance with another server or can you proxy large data files such as library images?
    the load balancing is the next step... but means another server and more rack space etc etc etc

    the volume of data is a worry as well....

    after cooma i will sit and think my way thru it, bit jaded at present....

    If you need cash Inc, im sure people will be willing to support the site they frequent.

    500 kbps average is some pretty serious traffic.

    Cheers!

    Fair enough. I am sure we are all content to work with things as they are in the meantime.

    Inc, have you considered the following:

    • Limiting inline image sizes to a max of 800x800 and 200kB
    • Only displaying images and attachments if the user is registered & logged in

    Does this mean that you can sell advertising space at a premium?

    I hope so.

    i know lots of people like the gallery but with sites like photobucket is it needed? Wouldnt that save a heap of space and limit the bandwidth?

    In a way its a good thing inc, all these people visiting means you are doing a top job and 40000 people a month think the same thing. Matt

    A couple of shooting forums I'm on require logins - it's a minor PITA, but compared to no longer having them due to rising bandwidth needs and running costs, it's a small price to pay.
