Band width exceeded.

take a look at our shop fronts. Our banner has been replaced by a message from photobucket. I don't know what to do about this.

Hopefully the bandwidth is reset every month.

If so perhaps to prevent this happening again have two different photobucket accounts with a half-half split of members.

EDIT: or what is that alicorn site that the other images are hosted at?

i don't think there is anything that the shop owners can do about the bandwidth exceeded error. hopefully egg or her daughter has a locally stored copy of the image. The idea of using two accounts at photobucket is probably our best option.

I was worried about this when we transferred from auri's host site. dang.

Yes, xaheras and I thought about splitting the load. It's a bit messy for updates, but workable. Hand on - I'm talking to her now. watch for updates.

Could someone please explain bandwidth? I have no idea what went wrong.

I don't know if I can explain exactly, zoro, but for starters, take a look at the stats that Xa posted in the Sales tracking forum. The bandwidth is shown there, both the allowance and the amount we used.

I'm afraid to try to sound technical cuz I l know I'll only sound stupid, but I think of it as a river through a pipe, and photoshop has allowed us to use some of their plumbing, but the pipe we get is 1 inch, just like all the other free users. Photoshop itself has a huge plumbing system, but they've paid for it.

The "water" in the analogy is the resource used by people clicking through the links in the banner. I think.

kinda.

So this is a problem of success ie we have more customers than the pipe can handle?

Thats right Zoro, so either we need a bigger pipe, or a second pipe. Seems like the second pipe was the way to go. On the brightside, though we missed a lot of today I suppose, we're clearly attracting customers at a good clip.
