Photo Permissions:
Viewing elvisboogens's Chang removal photos was an exercise in frustration. First, I tried viewing his profile, and saw no traces of photo albums on his profile. I registered, and still couldn't see anything. Finally, just a little while ago, I got the activation email, used it, and could finally view it. It took like 12 hours for the activation email to arrive.
After I could finally view it, I tried to show some of the photos to a friend. They weren't able to view it, even when I right-clicked the image and did "Copy Image Location" to send them the direct URL to the file, because of an anti-leech system that protects the files. They were only able to see a blank 1x1 pixel image. I ended up having to screenshot the photos and show them the screenshots.
My advice would be to either change the permissions so non-registered guests can view the user albums, or remove the anti-leech and do something about the delay in getting the validation emails. Those should arrive pretty much instantly, so there's probably something wrong on your server's mail system.
Signatures:
I just tried to put a standard 468x60 banner in my signature, but got a "File too large" error. This is a SMALL 12KB file. Having the limit as low as it is will just aggravate people.
Banner:
I have a Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM, and the banner makes the site run painfully slow. Even as I type this, the text input is lagging significantly because the banner keeps trying to freeze my browser.
If I see anything else, I'll post it. Now, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm trying to help out. I've been running a park fansite for nearly 6 years now, so when I see a new site with a lot of potential, I try to help them out so they can grow and be successful. You're doing a pretty good job so far. Improving user experience issues like these is a good way to encourage people to stick around and improve the community.
