If you don't know what it is, basically linking to pictures/videos from places that are not within Sportbikers.Net. It's a very common practice, but after seeing the bill for last month, I've decided to disable that option. This is a domain-wide option. So if you're wondering, this will affect everyone and not just any particular person. You all can stop PM'ing me about it. :D

It costs you to link a SBN page to somewhere else?

If you link a picture or a video from SBN to another place, it uses up our own bandwidth everytime that place is refreshed or a person view the video. For example a 20mb videos streamed for 10 people, that's 200mb just for that one instance. We have a limit on each month, and if it goes over there is a charge. We went WAY over last month. :doh If you link a thread, it's basically text so it doesn't use up much at all.

You mean the links that show the video on the post itself is bad? Not if I type in http://www.thiswebpagehasajackasscrashing.stupid or something like that, where it would go to that page, right?

I'm not real up on the times :D
