Right. So if they're hosted on Brickshelf and thus appear as an ID on posts
do they ALSO need to appear in "recent images"

Not following you here. Checking that box would not prevent the image from
being served up, just from being shown in the recent folders/images
thumbnail pages. Why would someone really want their avatar to be seen out
of context???

Hey, a rule that flushes out bad apples easily. Good idea.

I think you may want to slow down and read what is written a bit more
carefully before you respond, you're starting to foam a bit. You don't need
to personally respond to just about every post, you know.

Sorry, I missed where Chris was posting this and forgot to check the FUT.
Thanks for XFUT to the correct place, I appreciate it.
> Lets all freak out now!
You can if you want.
I think most other people would rather discuss this calmly... I know I
would. I think a few facts are needed about bandwidth usage, relative growth
of the thumbnails pages, etc. how Kevin is doing for donations and other
stuff before we go off half cocked.
I'd like to see Kevin himself weigh in ( if he hasn't already, I'm in the
airport and haven't read the whole tree yet, shame on me) on this. HE is the
ultimate arbiter, after all.
