I proudly present the RDA/Jack Thunk Thread.
Most of you have been really good in following the rules and I want to thank you for that! For those who need reminding and those who want to refresh their memory here are the rules for posting pictures in this thread:
There is a great way to attach pictures to the thread, using them to make thumbnails so that folks can see what's there without that same picture downloading over and over and over. Just use the attachments button below. This is the preferred way of posting pictures!
If you choose to put the photos in your post, they do have to fit a couple of criteria;
They cannot be larger than the forum boundaries, 300x400 is a good size. They cannot be larger than *100KB in file size*.**This also applies to animated images posted as "gifs" etc**
If they are called from another *server you must have permission to hotlink to them. Links like this do put a drain on servers and too many folks linking to too many pictures has been known to take a server down every once in a while.
* ie NO hotlinking from other sites,other people's offsite accounts or other forums.Use a third -party hosting service .eg,Photobucket/Imageshack.
Save the pics /gifs to the third-party account ,then upload to GWF ,but check the image file sizes /actual sizes comply with our posting rules and fit within the forum template boundary.
Thank you .

You cannot quote the pictures in your replies. Multiple copies of the pics just drain more bandwidth.
Last but not least, please remember our spoiler rules! Feel free to post links to spoilery pictures with the appropriate warning of spoilers though.
Thank you for adhering to these rules; now let the thunking continue!
